## About the role

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

## What they're looking for

- 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
