With AI-powered permitting intelligence and expert guidance, we eliminate costly delays and bring predictability across the full lifecycle of commercial projects.\nToday, 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.\nWe 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.\nFounded 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.\nThe Role\nWe'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:\nOwn our CI/CD pipelines so engineers can ship safely and often\n\nManage and scale our Postgres databases: performance, migrations, backups, and reliability\n\nDefine and manage our infrastructure as code (Terraform) on Google Cloud\n\nTreat developer experience like a product: find what's slowing engineers down and fix it\n\nMove up the stack to build the abstractions, internal tools, and paved paths that let product engineers focus on the product\n\nUse AI and automation to take routine maintenance off the team's plate, like dependency upgrades, alert triage, migrations, and cleanup\n\nBuild security into how we work: access, secrets, least privilege, and protecting customer data\n\nWho You Are\nYou'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\n\nYou think of other engineers as your customers and care whether the thing you built made them more efficient\n\nYou have a security mindset\n\nYour instinct is to automate, and AI is one of the first tools you reach for\n\nYou don't treat quality and velocity as a tradeoff. You look for the tools, abstractions, and processes that buy both\n\nYou default to ownership: when something is broken or missing, you fix it\n\nNeed to Have\n4+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time owning infrastructure, CI/CD, or platform work\n\nHands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines\n\nDatabase management experience. We use Postgres, but experience with any database is fine\n\nConfig as code experience with Terraform or similar\n\nExperience with an IaaS provider. We use GCP, but AWS or Azure works too\n\nStrong security fundamentals\n\nComfortable writing product-level code (we use TypeScript and React) and building abstractions other engineers rely on\n\nReal experience building with AI coding agents as a daily practice\n\nBased in the San Francisco Bay Area and excited to work in person 4 days a week\n\nWhy This Role\nHigh leverage: everything you build makes every engineer at Pulley faster\n\nShape the platform: help set how we build, ship, and secure our product as the team grows\n\nRoom to grow: scope expands as we launch new product lines","description_format":"text","description_chars":3557,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Engineering Services","Construction"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T23:46:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T01:33:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pulley-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pulley-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T01:33:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1097,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":685951},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=685951"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpulley-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpulley-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpulley-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pulley-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpulley-platform-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4045544}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"withpulley.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4045544},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
