Software Engineer

What You’ll Do

• In this role, you will build the product that gets stuff built.
• You'll work closely with engineers, designers, and end-users to accelerate our product development.
• As a product-minded software engineer at Pulley, you will:

• Own features and systems end-to-end-from talking to users and defining requirements through architecture, implementation, and iteration in production
• Turn unstructured permitting documents, city regulations, and jurisdiction workflows into fast, reliable product experiences, with AI at the core of how the product works
• Build with AI agents as a daily practice-directing, reviewing, and shipping agent-driven work at high velocity while owning the quality bar
• Make technical and product decisions that have direct impact on our customers and their projects
• Raise the bar for the engineers around you through design review, mentorship, and the standards you set in your own work

Who You Are

• You thrive in ambiguity-you'd rather define the right problem than execute a spec, and you're energized rather than paralyzed when the path isn't laid out
• You're product-minded: you care whether the thing you built actually solved the customer's problem, and you'll talk to users to find out
• You have strong opinions about quality and velocity and don't treat them as a tradeoff - you look for the tools, abstractions, and processes that buy both
• You default to ownership: when something is broken or missing, your instinct is to fix it, not to file it as someone else's problem

Need to Have

• 4+ years of software engineering experience
• Track record of owning significant product surface end-to-end: requirements through production, including the unglamorous parts
• Fluency in modern full-stack development-we use TypeScript, React, and Google Cloud; you don't need our exact stack, but you should be productive with something similar
• Real experience building with AI coding agents and LLM-powered features-not just autocomplete; you've shipped work where agents did substantial implementation under your direction
• Ability to architect durable systems while making pragmatic tradeoffs
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and willing to work in person 4 days a week

Nice to Haves

• Experience in construction tech, govtech, proptech, or another domain where the hard part is messy real-world documents and processes
• Experience designing evals or otherwise making LLM-powered features reliable in production
• Startup experience at the stage where you helped build the team, not just the product
• Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical direction across teams
