Compensation Overview

Pulumi’s mission is to democratize the cloud for every engineer. Its open-source infrastructure as code tool enables engineers to write infrastructure code in programming languages they already know and love, and deploy infrastructure on any cloud. With the Pulumi Platform, engineers can write and ship infrastructure code faster, leverage AI to boost productivity, do more with less through infrastructure automation, and search resources across any cloud.

We employ a unique philosophy toward achieving this goal:

• We succeed and fail as a team
• An inclusive environment bubbles the best ideas to the top
• Our customers sit at the center of every decision
• We achieve the best results through openness and honesty, even when uncomfortable
• Work smart, but bias for action and results
• Our natural curiosity for technology keeps us always learning
• Think big, dream, and define the future of engineering in the cloud
