You forgot an /s when you said the pay gap. If you didn't, then they pay gap you refer to is a statistical figure that is observed when you compare every worker across every profession across their entire career. The pay gap (as you assert it) doesn't exist (nor is legal to have) at a company level.

I think it can exist at a company level. Sum the wages of all male employees and compare to the sum for female employees.

The parent comment is basically asking "do you have men in higher-paid positions (Software devs) and women in lower-paid positions (receptionists, secretaries, etc)?"
