Software
Aglide’s browser automation platform combines an on-device browser agent and a browser extension to autonomously run web-based tasks inside our customers’ work applications. It's 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.
What you will do
- Architect and improve the core web-automation engine to handle complex, non-API tasks within an on-device Electron environment.
- Build a user-facing workflow builder that allows non-technical enterprise users to configure secure automations for any web application.
- Design and implement end-to-end encrypted infrastructure and platform analytics to provide enterprise customers with total visibility and security control.
Who this is a fit for
- Has 1+ years of production software experience with strong systems thinking and the ability to debug messy browser-automation environments.
- Demonstrates a high-ownership mindset, comfortable meeting directly with customers to diagnose issues and shipping solutions to production within days.
- Possesses technical familiarity with TypeScript and Postgres, ideally with hands-on experience in Electron, browser extensions, or automation tools like Puppeteer.
Why this role is remarkable
- High-impact founding role at a YC S23 startup serving decacorn financial institutions and public insurance companies where your code secures mission-critical access.
- Work in a genuinely novel space building "browser-using agents" for enterprise security, solving complex automation challenges where no established industry playbook exists yet.
- Exceptional growth package including meaningful founding-team equity (0.5-1%), frequent travel to San Francisco, and a culture of high autonomy and rapid execution.
