Staff / Senior Software Engineer (Agentic Search) - Web Access Engineer

The Product

In a rapidly evolving world, trust in AI depends on AI agents being grounded in fresh, verified real-world data. Search is the foundation that makes this possible.

We are building an agent-native search platform designed specifically for AI systems rather than human users. Our product provides programmatic, low-latency, and observable search APIs that AI agents use to retrieve, filter, and reason over real-world information at scale.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build the web access infrastructure behind a novel search engine designed for agentic AI.

In this role, you will investigate how modern websites communicate with browsers and translate that understanding into production systems operating at internet scale. You will build browser infrastructure and tooling that enables reliable, efficient access to web content across a rapidly changing web.

Your responsibilities will include:

Research and analyse how modern websites communicate with browsers across the complete request lifecycle

Investigate browser fingerprinting, client verification mechanisms, and modern web technologies to enable reliable web access

Build tooling for browser instrumentation, debugging, observability, and large-scale experimentation

Translate technical research into production systems operating at internet scale

Requirements

You have 5+ years of experience as a software engineer working on production backend or infrastructure systems, and are an expert in several of the following areas:

Browser Technologies

Chromium architecture and browser internals

Browser lifecycle and navigation

Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)

Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or similar browser automation frameworks

Browser instrumentation and debugging

Web Platform

Nice to Have

Experience working on browser engines or browser infrastructure

Experience reverse engineering browser or web application behaviour

Experience building internet-scale distributed systems

Go, C++, Rust, or Python

Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure

We conduct coding interviews as part of the process.
