Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves turning business problems into clean abstractions, and wants to work on systems that truly power company-building at scale
- 5–7 years of backend software engineering experience, with a strong command of Go or Python
- Deep understanding of crypto/web3 technologies: token standards, smart contracts, on-chain data, and wallets
- Experience working with blockchain APIs and infrastructure
- Strong product sense and ability to translate complex requirements into clean, maintainable systems
- Experience working in high-trust domains like fintech, infra, or security
- A collaborative mindset and ability to work cross-functionally with product and design
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in backend systems and a strong understanding of crypto and token-based ecosystems. In this role, you’ll help us expand Pulley’s product offering to better serve web3-native and crypto startups. You’ll work across the stack, collaborating closely with design, product, and other engineers to build seamless user experiences and scalable infrastructure
- Pulley sits at the intersection of traditional equity and emerging token models. We believe founders should have the tools to manage both with the same clarity and confidence. You’ll help bridge that gap, bringing your crypto knowledge and backend skills to define new standards for token cap tables, compliance, and governance in an AI-native world
- Design and build backend systems that support token-based cap tables, airdrops, vesting schedules, and governance models
- Serve as a subject matter expert on crypto protocols, token standards, wallets, and blockchain integrations
- Collaborate with product, design, and AI teams to define and ship new features for crypto-native companies
- Work across the stack to build APIs, data models, and backend services with an emphasis on security and reliability
- Translate legal and compliance requirements into scalable software abstractions
- Contribute to internal discussions and strategic planning around Pulley’s crypto product roadmap
Our take
Due to startups raising funding in multiple stages, calculating the ownership breakdown as the business evolves can be difficult. Pulley hopes to make that process less opaque with cap-table management and scenario-modelling tools that provide founders with employee and investor equity information.
The platform enables startups to model dilution in future rounds, helps employees understand the value of their equity as the company grows, and makes maintaining equity plans faster and easier.
Based on the costs to manage cap tables and the potential opportunity lost due to companies staying private for longer periods, the market Pulley operates in is worth up to $10 billion. Competition comes from Carta and Morgan Stanley's Shareworks.
