Founding Engineer (London, UK)

• 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 You’ll Build It

• 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.

• 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)., * Experience with our stack: TypeScript, 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, 1Password, Entra ID, 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 practical, we can sponsor employees to relocate from London to San Francisco.
• Frequent US Travel: To keep our team aligned, we are always keen to have team members travel between offices.
• Central London Office: Work with our UK team in our central London office.
• Private medical and dental insurance.
• Socials & Offsites: Frequent dinners and events, and an annual international offsite.
• Unlimited PTO: We’ll make sure you take enough time off to sustain the intensity and commitment the role demands.

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.
