About the role

There are few established best practices for browser-using agents, because almost nobody is deploying them at scale. So a fair amount of the job is inventing the playbook - and you'll shape what we build next through the problems you choose to pick up. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Four things we need. The rest you can pick up here
  • 1+ years shipping production software: Built things real users depend on, not just coursework or prototypes

  • Nice to haves : TypeScript and Postgres, Electron, Browser extensions, Puppeteer or Selenium, Zero-trust and end-to-end encryption, Okta, 1Password, Entra ID, JAMF

Lifecycle: Completing admin tasks inside applications, such as creating or removing users - saving...
