Software Engineer (Director)
Browserbase powers web browsing capabilities for AI agents and applications. We manage headless browser infrastructure for automations that interact with websites, fill out forms, and replicate user actions.
We raised a $40M Series B last year and are continuing to grow, fast. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, CRV, and Notable Capital, our fast-moving team is building on our CEO's founding vision to power the world's best AI tools and help everyone automate the web.
Director is where Browserbase meets the end user. It’s an accessible interface that gives people the power to automate the web without needing to write code, opening up capabilities that were once only for developers. We’re building tools that feel like magic to use, yet are powerful enough to tackle real-world workflows. If you’re curious about how people interact with technology and excited to shape new patterns of human-computer interaction, you’ll love this team.
