🚂 About Pulley Pulleys mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be.  As AI reshapes how companies operate, we’re exploring what equity management looks like in an AI-native world. We believe theres an opportunity to redefine how early-stage leaders build and manage their companies. It’s a brand-new, unsolved challenge—and were building a solution that leverages our strengths to meet it. Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founders’ Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels. Pulley is growing quickly with over 4,000 customers including startups like Linear, Runway, Fathom, and Roam, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand. Design at Pulley: We believe exceptional design is our competitive advantage. In a space traditionally dominated by clunky, compliance-first software, were proving that B2B financial tools can be intuitive, delightful, and even beautiful. Design has a seat at the table from day one—our designers partner directly with engineering and product leadership to shape not just how our product looks, but how it fundamentally works. 🌟 About the role As companies scale, the complexity of asset management multiplies. We need a design leader who can transform intricate compliance requirements, financial calculations, and multi-stakeholder workflows into experiences that feel effortless. This isnt about making incremental improvements—its about reimagining what modern equity and token management should feel like in an AI-native world. Were looking for a Staff Product Designer who obsesses over craft, operates with radical autonomy, and can navigate the intersection of sophisticated financial systems and delightful user experiences. Youll own end-to-end design for critical product areas, raise the quality bar across the organization, and help define what exceptional B2B design looks like. This is not a strategy-only role. We need a maker—someone who ships exceptional work in weeks, not quarters, while never compromising on quality.
