Founding Engineer / AI Automation Engineer Location: Remote / Hybrid Type: Full-time or Contract (Equity available) Stage: Early-stage startup (stealth)About the Role
We're building a stealth AI-powered automation platform that enables intelligent interaction with complex web-based systems.
The product focuses on AI-driven agents that can navigate real-world websites, understand context, and perform multi-step actions with minimal human intervention.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving hard, unstructured problems at the intersection of AI, browser automation, and modern web systems.
What You'll Work On
Design and implement AI-driven browser automation workflows
Build systems that can:
Navigate dynamic, JavaScript-heavy websites
Interact with complex, multi-step web forms
Handle inconsistent layouts and edge cases
Integrate LLMs for reasoning, decision-making, and text generation
Develop robust automation logic with retries, fallbacks, and observability
Collaborate directly with the founder on architecture and core technical decisions
Key Responsibilities
Build and maintain browser automation using Playwright
Integrate AI models (e.g. GPT-based or open-source LLMs) into automation pipelines
Implement logic for interpreting web UI elements and mapping them to structured data
Improve reliability, performance, and scalability of automation agents
Contribute to system design, security, and long-term technical direction
Tech Stack (Current / Planned)
Languages: Python and/or TypeScript
Automation: Playwright
AI: LLM APIs (OpenAI or open-source alternatives)
Backend: FastAPI or NestJS
Infrastructure: Docker, cloud-hosted workers
Data: PostgreSQL, Redis
Experience with all tools is not required — strong fundamentals and curiosity matter most.
What We're Looking ForRequired
Strong programming skills (Python or TypeScript)
Hands-on experience with browser automation (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium)
Solid understanding of modern web technologies (HTML, DOM, JS)
Comfort working with ambiguity and evolving requirements
Problem-solving mindset with attention to edge cases
Nice to Have
Experience with AI agents, LLMs, or RPA
Background in web scraping, QA automation, or complex workflows
Startup or early-stage product experience
Why Join
Work on technically challenging, non-trivial problems
High ownership and impact from day one
Direct collaboration with the founding team
Opportunity to grow into a lead engineering role
Flexible work setup and equity upside
