Description For Backend Engineer

Pulley is a fast-growing startup focused on making equity management easier for companies through their cap table management tools. With over 3000 customers including unicorns like Clubhouse, Birdies, and Coda, they've shown impressive growth since their product launch. The company is backed by top-tier investors including Founders' Fund, Stripe, and General Catalyst.

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Pulley, you'll be working on complex financial products that help companies manage their equity. The role requires expertise in Go for backend development and involves building scalable systems that can handle the complexities of equity management. You'll be part of a high-performing team of 65+ people, including former Y Combinator founders.

The company culture emphasizes first principles thinking, rapid iteration, honest communication, and a "Default Yes" mentality. They're looking for self-starters who can break down complex problems and aren't afraid to ship quickly and iterate based on user feedback. The role offers competitive compensation ($130K-$220K plus equity) and comprehensive benefits including health insurance and 401(k) matching.

Working at Pulley means joining a mission-driven company that believes in making it easier for anyone to start a company and envisions a future with more founder-led companies and employee-owners. The team is led by Yin Wu, who previously sold her company to Microsoft, and has a track record of success in the startup ecosystem.
