## About the Role

* You've independently owned a significant web capability or system through design, deployment, production failures, and subsequent improvements.
 * You have strong JavaScript or TypeScript skills and a deep understanding of the DOM, browser events, network behavior, and asynchronous execution.
 * You have experience building browser automation with Playwright or comparable tools.
 * You can trace difficult failures across browser behavior, frontend state, and backend services.
 * You can design tests that distinguish reliable behavior from something that happened to work once.
 * You want to work directly with customers, investigate unfamiliar applications, and turn what you learn into product improvements.
 * You use AI development tools thoughtfully and take responsibility for the correctness, security, and maintainability of what you ship.

## Description

* Build browser-extension capabilities that capture user interactions and the context needed to reproduce workflows reliably.
 * Develop automation for complex applications, including dynamic pages, nested frames, custom controls, and asynchronous state changes.
 * Improve how agents understand page structure, identify controls, execute actions, and recover when interfaces change.
 * Create debugging and replay tools that make automation failures easier to understand and resolve.
 * Extend the product experience so customers can record workflows, monitor execution, and inspect results.

Build Directly With Customers

 * Observe how customers use their applications and identify the interactions and state changes automation needs to capture.
 * Investigate failures in customer environments, tracing problems through browser behavior, application state, and execution services.
 * Turn application-specific discoveries into reusable recording, targeting, and recovery capabilities.
 * Help customers record and troubleshoot workflows independently, using their experience to improve the product.

Shape Technical Direction & Grow the Team

 * Own architectural decisions for browser recording and execution, including recording fidelity, element targeting, and browser state.
 * Partner with AI engineers to define the observations and actions agents need to operate applications reliably.
 * Mentor peers through design discussions and code reviews, and participate in hiring.
