What the job involves
- As an Engineering Manager at Pulley, you will play a critical role in leading and scaling our engineering team, focusing on building a great product for founders and operators
- Your goal will be to build cohesive, efficient teams capable of delivering high-quality software that align with our business objectives
- You'll work closely with engineering leaders and other departments to ensure our engineering efforts support the broader needs of the company, while also being hands-on in guiding the team's technical direction
- You will be responsible for managing and building strong engineering teams
- How we operate is inspired by the counterexamples from The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and we're looking for engineering managers who can operate a team with these principles in mind

- Personally write code, review code, and review architecture documents as needed to keep the team moving forward and uplevel other team members

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.

Company values
- Ego-less Learner 👉 Everyday at Pulley, we are trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. To be successful here, you need to embrace that feeling of ‘being a beginner’ and be willing to accept feedback in stride
- Less Talk; More Action 👉 Everyone rolls up our sleeves at Pulley. If your strength is being the ‘idea gal or guy’ but you don’t create your own slides or write your own code, then we are not a great fit
- Prioritize ruthlessly 👉 Our view is that being a 10x engineer is not about writing more code; it’s about making the right decision on what to build. We’re hiring for people who can make the right strategic decisions on where to spend their time
