Founding Engineer (Full Stack / Systems) – London – up to £135k
We’re working with an incredibly ambitious and YC backed browser automation organisation who are building a platform that helps organisations securely access and automate the web-based tools they rely on every day, who are hiring for a Founding Engineer as they continue to grow.
Their product is already used by large, global organisations to improve security, reduce manual work, and give teams better control over how access to systems is managed.
As an early engineer, you’ll play a key role in shaping both the product and the company, working closely with customers, contributing across the stack, and helping define how this technology evolves.
What You’ll Work On
You’ll help design and build a system that safely automates real user workflows in the browser. Areas you might contribute to include:
- Automation engine – making browser-based workflows more reliable and capable
- Secure local environments – improving performance and safety on user devices
- User-facing tools – enabling non-technical users to configure workflows
- Platform controls & visibility – helping organisations understand and manage automation
- Secure infrastructure – building systems that protect sensitive data end-to-end
