Role
Who you are
- This role is perfect for a seasoned engineering leader who has done a little bit of everything
- You bring deep and broad technical mastery coupled with strategic vision, and love solving complex problems
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with substantial time in staff+ technical leadership roles
- Track record of successfully implementing engineering best practices and driving process improvements across teams
- Extensive background in architectural strategy, large-scale system design, and providing technical leadership in multifaceted organizations
- Strong proficiency in modern programming languages like Python, Go, or Typescript
- Ability to work across functions and articulate technical decisions and trade-offs to diverse audiences, including non-technical stakeholders
- Versatile problem-solving skills and a holistic approach to engineering challenges
What the job involves
- We're looking for an exceptional Senior Staff Software Engineer to drive technical excellence across our architecture areas (Golang, Python, Typescript, DevOps, Data & Persistence, and Orchestration)
- You’ll spearhead organization-wide initiatives, shape architectural decisions across multiple domains, and elevate engineering standards around performance, security, and scalability
- This role offers the rare opportunity to fundamentally shape how we build software at Pulley and establish the engineering practices that will power our continued growth
- Define and champion technical quality standards across the engineering organization
- Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to ensure the technical roadmap supports broader company objectives, and balances feature delivery speed with long-term codebase health
- Provide mentorship and technical direction to the designated architects for each architecture area (Golang, Python, Typescript, DevOps, Data & Persistence, and Orchestration)
- Create comprehensive standards for building robust, scalable systems including monitoring, automated testing, deployment pipelines, and development best practices
- Diagnose systemic issues that lead to technical debt and implement organizational solutions to prevent future problems
- Build systems to measure, track, and systematically address existing technical challenges
- Review technical documents and proposals
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.
