Senior Software Engineer

About Stepwork

Most IT and Infosec work today is still manual, brittle, and dependent on humans shepherding systems that were never designed to talk to each other. APIs break, scripts don’t scale, and the “modern stack” still needs someone to click through workflows every day.

Stepwork replaces all of that with vision-based automation.

Teams send us a simple screen recording of how they complete a workflow, and Stepwork turns it into a reliable automated process, running inside a secure virtual environment that works exactly the way their people do.

No API surface required. No brittle scripts. No vendor integrations.

We already support enterprise workflows ranging from non-SCIM provisioning to consumption reporting to user access reviews, and we’re saving customers dozens to hundreds of hours a month. Demand is growing faster than our small engineering team can support—which is why this role exists.

We’re a tight 5-person engineering-led team in the Marina, funded by $5.5M, and building infrastructure that our customers depend on with a 98% reliability bar. The product footprint is expanding quickly, and every engineer materially shapes the system.

This role is fullstack with a strong backend + infrastructure emphasis. You’ll own real systems end-to-end, shipping quickly while maintaining reliability expected by enterprise customers.

You’ll be building:

Our Electron-based application runs a secure virtual machine on the user’s device, executing packaged “flows” with extreme accuracy. You’ll extend and harden this system, improving speed, reliability, and testability.

Most of our complexity lives in the backend:

• flow orchestration

• prompt packaging + execution

• VM lifecycle management

• reliability testing across real + virtual machines

• scaling the system as we transition from just local to local and customer’s own cloud

Today, our bottleneck is how quickly and accurately we can test flows. We target 98% reliability (industry average: ~60%). You’ll work on systems that test flows across multiple environments—real hardware, virtual machines, and cloud-hosted compute.

We work directly with customers like Calm, Angel List, Affir
