We help companies get compensation right.

What we get paid at work has a massive impact on our lives, and it’s one of the biggest factors in hiring and retaining talent - and yet so many companies struggle to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That’s why we created Ravio.

We help many of the world’s most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our real-time data platform brings compensation into the modern age, tracking the market across all compensation types from salary to equity and benefits.

Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. We’ve established ourselves as the European leader in our space serving more than 1,200 clients, and now have our sights set on becoming the global go to place for compensation data and tools for managing compensation.

Joining a startup and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you’re in the right place.


The role

We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer to join our engineering team and play a major role in our technical leadership during a significant platform shift.

Ravio is moving from a traditional SaaS posture to a platform built around agents - parent agents fronting our compensation data, specialist agents underneath, durable workflows, an MCP-based tool layer, and an eval harness to maintain consistency. You’ll own architecture and technical design across the stack: the customer-facing web app, the agentic platform, and the shared infrastructure connecting them.

You’ll bring system design depth - the kind that holds up under load, failure, and coordination across services and teams. You’ll continue to raise the bar on code quality, reliability, and the technical decisions that shape what we ship.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role - leading technical decision-making and tackling the hardest problems we encounter. There are also upcoming opportunities to move into management as our company continues to grow, if you wish.

The opportunity at Ravio right now

From your perspective, there are three critical things to look for when evaluating this role: a company going places, a strong engineering culture, and a role that gives you a true opportunity to have impact as a technical leader.

Ultimately it’s for you to decide whether that’s true in our two-way street interview process. Here’s a summary of where we are right now and what you can expect as a starting point.

There’s a lot happening at Ravio right now. We’ve just raised our Series A led by tier 1 US investors Spark Capital, and have acquired the benchmarking business of our competitor - Compete. We’ve got new joiners starting almost every week, and we’re rapidly expanding outside of our core markets in Europe. We need you to help us maintain our velocity and continue to build a scalable org and product.

Our core benchmarking product is at product-market fit, and we have a couple of new modules in the 0-1 phase. This means we’re at an exciting stage that involves 0-to-1 building in some areas, and building for scale in others. That’s true across the business, we’re continuing to expand and experiment, while systemising and doubling down on what is already working well from our seed phase.

Beyond the core product, we’re building Ravio’s agentic platform - parent agents fronting our compensation data with specialist agents underneath, durable workflows on Temporal, an MCP-based tool layer, and an eval harness to maintain consistency. It’s a platform engineering effort with the same care and rigour we apply to the rest of the product. A Lead engineer joining now would help shape the foundations of how Ravio’s product is built for the next phase.

We’d like to think Ravio is a great place to be a Lead engineer - we have technical leaders who know first hand the importance of creating space and focus for engineering teams to do their best work. And you’ll be working alongside many accomplished and world class teammates, who are energised by the work they do and have a high bar for themselves and their colleagues.

Why join Ravio?

The Role

As an Account Executive, you’ll join our Sales team and run full-cycle sales across your territory in EMEA. You’ll become an expert in compensation, identify market trends, and share insights that help shape our product and marketing strategy—including how we bring an agentic layer to our compensation data and insights.

We believe in value-based selling, so this role will suit someone consultative who can manage multiple opportunities in a high-velocity small- and mid-market environment.

This is your chance to help build a category-defining company at an exciting point in its evolution. You’ll develop new relationships with HR and Reward leaders and establish Ravio as the go-to compensation insights platform in your territory. As we add an agentic layer to our data and insights, you’ll help customers understand what this new generation of compensation technology can unlock.

Compensation hasn’t been reinvented in decades—HR buyers often tell us their current benchmarking providers “still look like Windows 96”—so you’ll help define what modern looks like and solve meaningful challenges for customers.

We also invest in mentoring and genuine career progression, whether you want to deepen your expertise as an individual contributor, move into leadership, or explore other parts of the business as Ravio scales.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a good fit for this role if you have:

If you don’t meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you if you believe you have what it takes and can demonstrate it through your previous work.

Sales at Ravio in 2026

This is an opportunity to play an important part in Ravio’s next phase of growth. We’ve already established strong product-market fit, and you’ll build on that success by growing a designated geographic territory across revenue, dataset growth—that is, compensation insights—and brand awareness.

One of our core values is “nothing’s someone else’s problem.”

You’ll work directly with the Sales Manager, Marketing, and Customer Success to shape and expand your territory. At the same time, you’ll have a high level of autonomy and ownership. We’ll look to you to bring your own innovative perspective and share insights into what will make your territory successful.

If you want to make an outsized impact at a company poised for further growth, work alongside a smart team, and embrace change, this could be the role for you.

About Us

Compensation is one of the key levers for attracting and retaining great talent, yet most companies are struggling to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That's why we created Ravio.

We help some of the world's most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our goal is to bring compensation into the modern age by building the ultimate real-time compensation solution. We're passionate about ensuring everyone is paid what they deserve, no matter their background or circumstances. We believe that when compensation is done right, everyone wins.

Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. Joining a startup in the early days and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you're in the right place.

The Role

We're hiring Ravio's first dedicated Legal Counsel, someone who brings strong privacy expertise. You'll own our core legal documentation, from customer contracts to data processing terms and privacy notices, and be the main point of contact for our external legal support. You'll be a key stakeholder for Ravio's senior leadership team, advising on a wide range of legal and regulatory matters, and you'll work closely with our Commercial, Product, People and Data teams to keep Ravio's legal position current as the product and business grow. You'll also be a named contact in governance processes such as our whistleblowing framework.

Alongside the core legal remit, you'll roll up your sleeves on some of our compliance operations too, including supporting our annual SOC 2 audit and other compliance projects as they come up. This suits someone equally comfortable drafting a contract and working through the details of an audit.

This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who wants ownership from day one. You'll work independently for a lot of it, backed by an external law firm retainer for specialist and overflow work, and you'll have real scope to shape how the legal and compliance function grows at Ravio as we scale.

Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. We’ve established ourselves as the European leader in our space serving more than 1,200 clients, and now have our sights set on becoming the global go to place for compensation data and tools for managing compensation.

Joining a startup and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you’re in the right place.


The role

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our engineering team and play a major role in our technical leadership during a significant platform shift.

Ravio is moving from a traditional SaaS posture to a platform built around agents - parent agents fronting our compensation data, specialist agents underneath, durable workflows, an MCP-based tool layer, and an eval harness to maintain consistency. You’ll own architecture and technical design across the stack: the customer-facing web app, the agentic platform, and the shared infrastructure connecting them.

You’ll bring system design depth - the kind that holds up under load, failure, and coordination across services and teams. You’ll continue to raise the bar on code quality, reliability, and the technical decisions that shape what we ship.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role - leading technical decision-making and tackling the hardest problems we encounter. There are also upcoming opportunities to move into management as our company continues to grow, if you wish.

The opportunity at Ravio right now

From your perspective, there are three critical things to look for when evaluating this role: a company going places, a strong engineering culture, and a role that gives you a true opportunity to have impact as a technical leader.

Ultimately it’s for you to decide whether that’s true in our two-way street interview process. Here’s a summary of where we are right now and what you can expect as a starting point.

There’s a lot happening at Ravio right now. We’ve just raised our Series A led by tier 1 US investors Spark Capital, and have acquired the benchmarking business of our competitor - Compete. We’ve got new joiners starting almost every week, and we’re rapidly expanding outside of our core markets in Europe. We need you to help us maintain our velocity and continue to build a scalable org and product.

Our core benchmarking product is at product-market fit, and we have a couple of new modules in the 0-1 phase. This means we’re at an exciting stage that involves 0-to-1 building in some areas, and building for scale in others. That’s true across the business, we’re continuing to expand and experiment, while systemising and doubling down on what is already working well from our seed phase.

Beyond the core product, we’re building Ravio’s agentic platform - parent agents fronting our compensation data with specialist agents underneath, durable workflows on Temporal, an MCP-based tool layer, and an eval harness to maintain consistency. It’s a platform engineering effort with the same care and rigour we apply to the rest of the product. A Staff engineer joining now would help shape the foundations of how Ravio’s product is built for the next phase.

We’d like to think Ravio is a great place to be a Staff engineer - we have technical leaders who know first hand the importance of creating space and focus for engineering teams to do their best work. And you’ll be working alongside many accomplished and world class teammates, who are energised by the work they do and have a high bar for themselves and their colleagues.
