Pusaeus was a pupil of the Neoplatonist philosopher Proclus, at his school in Alexandria. Other noteworthy figures belonged to the same pagan circle and studied with Pusaeus, such as Pamprepius, Marcellinus, Anthemius, and Messius Phoebus Severus.
In 465 Pusaeus was praetorian prefect of the East. In 467, while his old friend Anthemius sat on the Western throne, he held the consulate.
An inscription in Latin, surrounded by Greek inscriptions, and walled in the walls of Constantinople, reads: "Pusaeus, no less than the great Anthemius, strengthened towers and walls".
