A monster pay package for Rivian Inc. founder R.J. Scaringe lies beneath the hood of the electric vehicle-maker’s debut on the public markets.

The Irvine, California-based automaker, which began deliveries of electric pickup trucks only weeks ago, rose 29% in its trading debut Wednesday to close at $100.73 per share, valuing Scaringe’s 1.7% interest at $1.2 billion.
