About Us

We’re an early-stage, high-growth company building foundational infrastructure that empowers billions of AI agents and other software to securely interact with the internet on behalf of users — even where no public APIs exist.

Our developer-first toolkit lets builders create user-permissioned integrations with the most popular websites, handling authentication and access so they can focus on what matters: building magical applications.

We’re backed by top-tier investors and moving fast. Join us in shaping the future of software interaction across the web.

🧠 The Role: Founding Head of Engineering

We’re looking for a product-minded, technically brilliant Head of Engineering to lead our engineering efforts at the ground floor. You’ll help architect core systems, scale teams from scratch, and make strategic product and infrastructure decisions that define our path forward.

This is a player-coach role — we’re looking for someone eager to mentor and lead, while also diving into the code and helping engineers work through technical problems.

💼 What You’ll Do

Own the full engineering strategy — technical vision, infrastructure design, and team development
Make hands-on contributions across the stack, especially early on
Scale engineering orgs from 5 → 50+ with a clear and intentional hiring roadmap
Mentor engineers and instill a culture of technical excellence, reliability, and high ownership
Build scalable processes for testing, deployment, and observability of mission-critical systems
Partner closely with founders, product, and design to define and deliver roadmap
Lead by example — reviewing code, evaluating architecture decisions, and being deeply involved in execution

✅ What We’re Looking For

7–15 years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years leading multiple workstreams or teams
Experience as an engineering leader at an early-stage startup (founder, founding engineer, or first exec hire)
Previously joined a company during its early stages and helped scale it significantly (ideally to 100+ engineers)
Recent, active coding experience and comfort discussing code choices with ICs
Proven success in technical hiring, team building, and org design
Strong grasp of front-end, back-end, infrastructure, and system design
Product-first mindset — you care about how your decisions impact UX, customer value, and business goals
Natural mentor and leader who builds trust through clarity, ownership, and execution

❌ Not a Fit If:

You’ve only worked at large companies or late-stage startups
You’ve been hands-off for too long and are uncomfortable reviewing code or designing systems
You’ve never scaled a team before or only joined after major scaling had already occurred
Your experience includes multiple short tenures without clear impact

🛠 Tech You’ll Touch

Node.js, React, TypeScript
Cloud infra (AWS, GCP), CI/CD, Docker
Authentication protocols, SDK development, browser automation, and system security

🚀 Why Join Us?

Build something that literally reshapes how software interacts with the web
Work with a deeply technical founding team with strong product instincts
Solve cutting-edge problems in AI agent integration, security, and UX
Lead a critical function at a moment of inflection and massive potential
