ABOUT PULLEY

Pulley helps the country’s top architects, builders, and retailers speed up every project in their portfolio. With AI-powered permitting intelligence and expert guidance, we eliminate costly delays and bring predictability across the full lifecycle of commercial projects.

Today, permitting is the slowest, most uncertain part of building, spread across 19,000+ jurisdictions with different rules, timelines, and surprises. Pulley gives project teams the clarity and predictability they need to move from planning to opening without delays.

We support rollout programs for brands like J.Crew, Solidcore, and Hibbett Sports, as well as major data center buildouts, EV charging networks, and other commercial projects. Our platform dramatically reduces approval timelines, improves forecasting accuracy, and removes thousands of hours of manual work from design and construction teams.

Founded in 2021, Pulley combines deep permitting expertise with purpose-built AI from people who have created products used by millions. We’re backed by CRV, Susa Ventures, Fifth Wall, and leaders from Plaid, Segment, ServiceTitan, and Procore.

THE ROLE

We're hiring a Platform Engineer to own the foundation our product is built on. Your job is to make our engineering team and product faster, safer, and more effective. As Pulley's dedicated Platform Engineer you will:

- Own our CI/CD pipelines so engineers can ship safely and often

- Manage and scale our Postgres databases: performance, migrations, backups, and reliability

- Define and manage our infrastructure as code (Terraform) on Google Cloud

- Treat developer experience like a product: find what's slowing engineers down and fix it

- Move up the stack to build the abstractions, internal tools, and paved paths that let product engineers focus on the product

- Use AI and automation to take routine maintenance off the team's plate, like dependency upgrades, alert triage, migrations, and cleanup

- Build security into how we work: access, secrets, least privilege, and protecting customer data

WHO YOU ARE

- You've worked on both sides. You've built product, and you've built the platform under it, so you know what product engineers actually need

- You think of other engineers as your customers and care whether the thing you built made them more efficient

- You have a security mindset

- Your instinct is to automate, and AI is one of the first tools you reach for

- You don't treat quality and velocity as a tradeoff. You look for the tools, abstractions, and processes that buy both

- You default to ownership: when something is broken or missing, you fix it

NEED TO HAVE

- 4+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time owning infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform work

- Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

- Database management experience. We use Postgres, but experience with any database is fine

- Config as code experience with Terraform or similar

- Experience with an IaaS provider. We use GCP, but AWS or Azure works too

- Strong security fundamentals

- Comfortable writing product-level code (we use TypeScript and React) and building abstractions other engineers rely on

- Real experience building with AI coding agents as a daily practice

- Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and excited to work in person 4 days a week

WHY THIS ROLE

- High leverage: everything you build makes every engineer at Pulley faster

- Shape the platform: help set how we build, ship, and secure our product as the team grows

- Room to grow: scope expands as we launch new product lines

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
