About Complete About Complete
Complete helps candidates, employees, and teams navigate the opaqueness of compensation. We’ve reimagined the offer letter, built tools for rewards transparency, and created platforms for modern compensation planning.
We work with high-growth startups like Convex and TrueNorth, as well as enterprise players like Vercel and DataStax. With over 5,000 employee records and salaries evaluated, we help companies retain top talent and build fairer, more accountable orgs.

You’ve built systems for scale (multi-region, enterprise-grade, secure by design)
You’re entrepreneurial — maybe you’ve even started something before

Equity: 0.75%+
Benefits: Competitive healthcare, unlimited PTO, team offsites, and more
