Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will define the technical direction for a domain, architecting and shipping AI-powered product experiences while mentoring senior engineers. You will own problem areas end-to-end, from initial ambiguity through production, while driving high-velocity development with AI agents.
Candidates must have 8+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record of owning significant technical domains. Proficiency in modern full-stack development and practical experience building with AI coding agents and LLM-powered features is required.
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.
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 staff-level software engineer at Pulley, you will:
Own problem areas, not just features—define the technical direction for a domain spanning multiple product surfaces, and carry it from ambiguity through architecture to shipped, iterated-on product
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 the technical bets that determine what Pulley can build next year, not just this quarter—and own the consequences of those bets in production
Multiply the engineers around you: set technical direction others build within, mentor senior engineers toward larger scope, and make the whole team faster through the systems, standards, and abstractions you create
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 at organizational scale: when something is broken or missing—a system, a process, a gap between teams—your instinct is to fix it, and you don't need permission or a mandate to start
8+ years of software engineering experience
Track record of owning a significant technical domain end-to-end: from "this is somebody's problem" through architecture, delivery, and production ownership, 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
Experience mentoring engineers or setting technical direction that other engineers built within
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and willing to work in person 4 days a week
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
Experience as the most senior engineer in a domain—being the person others escalated to when nobody knew the answer
Startup experience at the stage where you helped build the team, not just the product
Fast, predictable permitting for commercial project teams
Pulley makes permitting fast and predictable for commercial project teams. Today, permitting takes four times longer than construction; we're changing that. Our expert-powered AI helps project teams verify requirements in 19,000+ jurisdictions and secure the approvals they need months faster. Trusted by leading teams — including AutoZone, Starbucks, Prologis, and JLL Design — Pulley powers more than $12 billion in construction across all 50 states.
