So why would it feel awkward/academic to use translated versions for I'm guessing common words in spanish such as pull?
Pullear, deployar are ridiculous and lazy.
For instance, deploy has its roots in the military term: to place and equip troops in a battlefield. The Spanish words desplegar (v.) and despliegue (n.) have existed for ages with identical meaning, and in common use in the 90s in IT.
You are aware that importing words is a thing, right? Even if equivalent words already exist. It's perfectly normal and even healthy for a language to do so.
To me, pullear and deployar are just a lot more clear and there's no ambiguity. "Desplegar" would not be very meaningful to me in the context of my work.
It's all about clarity in my mind and condescension really has nothing to do with it.
