This role is pivotal in shaping the technical architecture and product direction of an early-stage startup tackling complex enterprise integration challenges.

What you will do:

  • Design and implement AI agents capable of navigating complex, multi-step web workflows and dynamic forms.

  • Build robust, isolated browser infrastructure to ensure reliable and secure execution of automated playbooks.

  • Develop developer-facing SDKs and APIs that allow customers to integrate legacy systems into modern applications seamlessly.

The ideal candidate:

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js with experience building complex, scalable web applications.

  • Deep understanding of browser automation, DOM manipulation, and modern AI/LLM integration patterns.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
