London, England, GB / San Francisco, CA, US Full-time US citizenship/visa not required 1+ years Apply now About the role Aglide's browser agent platform is trusted by household-name fintechs and global enterprises to automate and secure the applications their employees depend on most. We've raised over $3.5M to go after this problem, and every day our platform is running thousands of mission-critical workflows. Our founding engineers take on high-ownership roles, working directly with customers to invent new ways to securely and reliably automate web tasks - shaping product direction and building the core infrastructure for a category that's still being invented. What we do Aglide combines an on-device browser agent and a browser extension to autonomously run web-based tasks inside our customers’ work applications. Today, it’s used for two key workflows: User login: Automating user sign-in to work accounts to give security teams visibility and policy enforcement. Lifecycle: Completing admin tasks inside applications (e.g., creating users) to save time, reduce human error, and tighten access control. Our platform lets non-technical users configure these workflows for any application. We are working with companies ranging from decacorn financial services scale-ups to public insurance companies. Their employees depend on Aglide to access mission-critical applications - from everyday SaaS tools to corporate bank accounts; while their security teams count on it to maintain compliance and defend against attackers - including, at times, state-sponsored threats. What you’ll be building Browser automation engine: Improving our core web-automation engine to make it more robust and allow it to perform more complex tasks. On-device browser environment: Developing the local environment to make it reliable and secure. Workflow builder: Streamlining the process of building new browser automations. Platform controls and analytics: Giving customers more control and visibility over when and how their browser automations run. End-to-end encrypted infrastructure: Strengthening and scaling the systems that keep sensitive customer data secure. How you’ll build it Independently and confidently: You’ll have significant ownership and autonomy - meaningfully shaping our priorities through the roadmap you influence and the problems you choose to solve. Collaborating with customers: You’ll regularly meet with customers to understand their goals, help them get more out of the platform, and walk them through the new features you’ve shipped for them. Inventing the playbook: We’re one of the few companies deploying “browser-using agents” for mission-critical work, because we’ve had to solve problems with no established best practice. You’ll continue this legacy - tackling novel challenges and turning solutions into repeatable systems. Across the stack: You’ll ship by contributing across everything - the dashboard, desktop app, backend services, and IaC configurations. With high commitment: You’ll go from problem identified to solution shipped in days, even if it means working long nights and weekends. The skills we’re looking for Must-have: 1+ years software experience: Looking for people who have built production software for real users. Excellent debugging and systems thinking: Browser automation is messy, and our workflows run on end-user devices with end-to-end encrypted data. Desire to work with customers: Understanding their problems, validating your solutions, and spotting product opportunities. Desire for ownership: One engineer is responsible end-to-end - meeting a customer, diagnosing issues, designing a fix, and shipping to production (sometimes within a week). Nice to have: Experience with our stack: TypeScript, Postgres, Electron (macOS/Windows/Linux), and browser extensions. Web automation knowledge: Hands-on experience with Puppeteer or Selenium (
