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 Engineering Manager who is passionate about utilizing AI to build impactful solutions to manage our product engineering team. This is a strategic leadership position that shapes both our engineering culture and our product roadmap. You'll manage engineers who are helping founders and leadership teams streamline business processes and equity management, and shape how the next generation of unicorn companies grow and scale.
What you'll do
- Provide leadership and mentorship to our product engineering team
- Partner with product and design to translate complex concepts into simple, intuitive products
- Develop and implement engineering frameworks and processes that enable team success
- Build and scale high-performing engineering teams through thoughtful hiring and development
- Drive technical excellence and innovation across the team
- Balance team development with product delivery, viewing both as equally important responsibilities
- Collaborate across the organization to align engineering efforts with company goals
- Establish clear expectations and metrics for team performance
- 5+ years of engineering management experience, with a proven track record of successfully managing Staff Software Engineers
- Experience leading teams that are leveraging LLMs and AI/ML products to develop agents and tools
- Track record of building 0-1 and shipping high-quality software products
- Strong technical background with the ability to contribute to architectural discussions
- Experience translating complex domains into simple, elegant technical solutions
- A first-principles approach to problem-solving and framework-oriented thinking
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- 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.
- 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)
