Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Founding Engineer (London, UK) - **Company:** Aglide - **Location:** London, UK - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac Systems, Software Applications, Customer Data Management, Software Debugging, Linux, PostgreSQL, Zero Trust Network Access, Selenium, TypeScript, Okta, Electron (Programming Language), Puppeteer (Software), Backend, Casper Suite - **Published:** August 30, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.collegerecruiter.com/job/2815624023-founding-engineer-london-uk ## About the Role * 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. ## Description * 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. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Adam Wiggins](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/919-coffee-with-developers-adam-wiggins) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [WeAreDevelopers - Of Agents and Robots](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2155-wearedevelopers-of-agents-and-robots) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 119 - ❤️ === ❤️](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/454-dev-digest-119) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
