๐Ÿš‚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 Pulleyโ€™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 shouldnโ€™t be.ย 

Weโ€™re a high-performing team on a mission to redefine how early-stage leaders build and manage their companies in an AI-native world. As AI reshapes how businesses operate, we see a unique opportunity to reimagine equity and business management from the ground up. A brand-new, unsolved challenge that weโ€™re excited to tackle.

Pulley is growing quickly with over 8,000 customers, including startups like Linear, Runway, Fathom, and Roam. Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founders Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, and other incredible angels. All of our growth has been organic, and weโ€™re expanding the team to meet the growing demand.

Weโ€™re looking for passionate, execution-focused self-starters to help us build the next generation of tools for founders.

๐ŸŒŸ About the role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build and ship the systems that power Pulley's core equity platform. You'll own end-to-end delivery of complex features โ€” working across data models, APIs, and backend services to ship high-impact improvements for startup founders.

In this role, you'll work closely with product, design, and other engineers to turn business problems into clean, reliable software. You'll help modernize our platform, improve system performance, and ensure our backend is robust and maintainable as we scale.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and wants to work on systems that truly power company-building at scale.

๐Ÿ›  What Youโ€™ll Do

  • Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that power new features and improvements across Pulley's core equity platform
  • Own end-to-end delivery of complex projects, from scoping technical approach through to production rollout
  • Work on our persistence layer โ€” database schema design, migrations, and data integrity
  • Drive performance and reliability improvements across backend systems
  • Work closely with product, design, and other engineers to ship seamless user experiences
  • Mentor junior engineers on backend best practices and system design
