Job description
Aglideâs browser agent platform is trusted by household-name fintechs and global enterprises to automate and secure the applications their employees depend on most. Weâve 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 thatâs 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 customersâ work applications. Today, itâs 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 Youâll 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 Youâll Build It
- Independently and confidently: Youâll have significant ownership and autonomy - meaningfully shaping our priorities through the roadmap you influence and the problems you choose to solve.
- Collaborating with customers: Youâll regularly meet with customers to understand their goals, help them get more out of the platform, and walk them through the new features youâve shipped for them.
- Inventing the playbook: Weâre one of the few companies deploying âbrowser-using agentsâ for mission-critical work, because weâve had to solve problems with no established best practice. Youâll continue this legacy - tackling novel challenges and turning solutions into repeatable systems.
- Focused on our surfaces: Youâll be focused on our end-user clients - desktop, extension and web dashboard.
- With high commitment: Youâll go from problem identified to solution shipped in days, even if it means working long nights and weekends.
Must-have
The skills weâre looking for
- 1+ years software experience: Looking for people who have built client software for real users.
- Product minded: Youâre obsessed with customer experience and building quality features.
- 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
- Design taste: Strong visual taste and bring good design into your UIs.
- Experience with our stack: TypeScript, 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, 1Password, Entra ID, JAMF, or similar tools used by IT and security teams.
The Benefits We Offer
- Competitive salary and generous equity: We want you to have a meaningful share of the billion-dollar company we are building.
- Central Office: Work in our London Shoreditch office, or SF office.
- Private medical and dental insurance.
- Socials & Offsites: Frequent dinners and events, and an annual international offsite.
- Annual learning and development budget.
- Unlimited PTO: Weâll make sure you take enough time off to sustain the intensity and commitment the role demands.
- Relocation or Travel: We have offices in SF and London, and are keen for the team to travel between offices, or even relocate.
Our commitment to inclusion
Before founding Aglide, Oliver and I helped establish an organisation dedicated to encouraging people from disadvantaged and underrepresented communities to pursue careers in engineering. When we founded Aglide, we wanted to carry that commitment forward by actively working to create inclusive career opportunities.
We are proud that everyone who has joined Aglide shares this commitment and is holding us accountable to it. Aglide is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
