🚂 About Pulley

Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be. 

As AI reshapes how companies operate, we’re exploring what equity management looks like in an AI-native world. We believe there's an opportunity to redefine how early-stage leaders build and manage their companies. It’s a brand-new, unsolved challenge—and we're building a solution that leverages our strengths to meet it.

Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founders’ Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels. Pulley is growing quickly with over 4,000 customers including startups like Linear, Runway, Fathom, and Roam, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand.

🌟 About the role

We're looking for an experienced Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead our AI Business Process team and serve as a key technical leader across our engineering organization. You'll drive the development of innovative AI-powered features that help founders and leadership teams streamline business processes beyond equity management, while providing technical leadership across our product delivery teams.

This role offers the unique opportunity to shape how the next generation of unicorn companies manage their business processes through AI, while leading a high-performing engineering team in a fast-moving startup environment.

🛠 What you’ll do

  • Drive the full product development lifecycle for new AI-powered features from conception to market
  • Lead architecture decisions and technical roadmap planning for the AI Business Process team
  • Build and scale agentic systems that automate complex business workflows for early-stage companies
  • Leverage LLMs and AI/ML technologies to create user-facing products that solve real business problems
  • Serve as a member of engineering leadership, and establish and champion best practices around architecture and delivery across the engineering organization
  • Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to understand business needs and iterate on solutions

🙌 What you bring

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience 
  • Strong proficiency in Go and Python (React experience is a huge plus!)
  • Demonstrated experience building agentic systems and AI/ML products, and familiarity with the emerging "AI stack" including:
    • LLMs and agent frameworks
    • Embeddings/vector databases
    • RAG (retrieval augmented generation)
    • Evals and observability
    • Prompt engineering
  • Proven track record of leading other engineers and establishing best practices for engineering teams
  • Strong project management skills
  • Familiarity or interest in AI-powered developer tools like Cursor

✨ Why work at Pulley?

  • We’ve moved beyond early-stage uncertainty - Our product has traction and we’re building on a solid foundation, but we’re still early enough in our journey where your work will directly shape the company’s trajectory as we scale.
  • Make it easier for anyone to start a company - Founders turn bold ideas into reality - building things that might not exist otherwise. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity should be. Pulley exists to make equity management simpler, smarter, and more accessible for founders from day one.
  • Work with a high-performing and passionate team - We value the concept of stunning colleagues and we’re thoughtful about creating a team that is excited about building a great company together. Here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:
    • First Principles Thinking  - We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts, and that something is possible unless proven otherwise. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation.
    • Ship It & Iterate - We value people who not only generate ideas but also do the work to bring them to life. Instead of fixating on outcomes, we focus on the inputs we can control and take our best bets. We move quickly to ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate.
    • Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate - Being boldly honest means challenging each other to set and hit goals, and make the right strategic decisions on what to build. Being aggressively considerate means caring about one another as humans and speaking up with empathy so we can succeed together as a team.
    • Ego-less Learner - Everyday at Pulley, we’re trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. It’s important to embrace the mindset of a beginner - stay curious, open to feedback, and ready to learn and grow alongside the team.

💚 Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Unlimited PTO + Winter holiday break
  • Parental leave
  • Generous stipends for WFH, learning, wellness, and AI tools
  • 401(k) match (US) / Pension match (Canada)

Annual Salary Range: $190,000—$255,000 USD

The range above reflects the typical salary range for this role. The final offer will depend on factors such as your experience, interview performance, level, and other considerations assessed during the hiring process.
