    • Observability

Applied AI & Collaboration

  • Work with Product + Security teams
  • Help embed AI into workflows:
    • Detection
    • Prioritization
    • Response

    • Platform evolution

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You’ve built backend systems at scale
  • You enjoy solving complex integration problems
  • You care about:
    • Reliability
    • Clean architecture
    • Long-term maintainability
  • You take ownership and move fast

Required Experience & Skills

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Build and ship backend services in Go
  • Design integrations with external platforms
  • Debug production issues and improve reliability
  • Optimize APIs, pipelines, and database queries
  • Collaborate on architecture and scaling decisions

In short: you build the infrastructure that processes security data at scale.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Contribution to system stability

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen

View company profile

The story of Pavago begins with a common entrepreneurial frustration. Its founders, Parker Cox and Ahmed Raza Ali, were running their own businesses and, like many others, found themselves grappling with the high costs and often underwhelming results of their digital marketing efforts. Determined to find a more efficient path to growth, they turned their sights to the global talent market. This decision to look offshore proved to be a pivotal moment. Within just three months of making their first offshore hire, they witnessed a remarkable 40% reduction in their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This initial success was just the beginning of a transformative journey.

Encouraged by these results, they continued to build their offshore team, and within six months, they had expanded to seven team members. This strategic move not only drove down their operational labor costs by 22% but also led to significant increases across all their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As they shared their success story with fellow business owners, they discovered a widespread need for what they had built. A waitlist of entrepreneurs quickly formed, all asking the same question: 'Can you help us scale our team the same way?' This overwhelming demand was the spark that ignited Pavago. The founders realized they had a key to unlock a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized businesses – democratizing access to incredible offshore talent. Today, Pavago stands as a comprehensive, all-in-one service partner for businesses looking to scale efficiently. They handle the entire process, from talent acquisition and onboarding to payroll management and compliance, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth while leveraging a global team of top-tier professionals.
