Founding Engineer; Browser Automation

Aglide’s browser automation platform is used by renowned global enterprises - from decacorn financial services scale-ups to public insurance companies - to access, manage, and secure their most mission-critical work applications.

Our founding engineers in London and San Francisco 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 that keeps global companies secure.

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:

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.

• 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.

• 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 IaaC configurations.
• With high commitment: You’ll go from problem identified to solution shipped in days, even if it means working long nights and weekends.

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: Type Script, Postgres, Electron (macOS/Windows/Linux), and browser extensions.
• Web automation knowledge: Hands-on experience with Puppeteer or Selenium (in production or as side projects).
• Security experience: Building secure systems; comfort with zero-trust concepts and end-to-end encryption.
• Identity/SSO exposure: Familiarity with products like Okta, 1
  
  Password, Entra , JAMF, or similar tools used by IT and security teams.

• Competitive salary and generous equity: We want you to have a meaningful share of the billion-dollar company we are building.
• US Visa Sponsorship (Potential): Where…
