Join a high-caliber team of four building a mission-critical browser automation engine for global enterprises. You will develop an on-device agent that autonomously manages sensitive workflows in applications lacking APIs. This role offers high ownership, direct customer collaboration, and the chance to invent the playbook for secure, browser-based identity and access management.
Founding Engineer at Aglide — YC-backed browser automation startup
Aglide (YC S23) is hiring a Founding Engineer in London to build the future of enterprise browser automation. While most startups build wrappers, Aglide is creating a mission-critical, on-device agent trusted by decacorn financial firms to automate security and identity workflows where APIs don't exist. You'll join a high-caliber team of four, working across the full stack (TypeScript, Electron, Postgres) with massive ownership and founding-team equity. If you're an elite debugger who wants to invent the playbook for browser-using agents instead of just following one, this is the role for you.
