Technical Lead, Developer

Hi, we're The Browser Company 👋 and we're building a better way to use the internet. Browsers are unique in that they are one of the only pieces of software that you share with your parents as well as your kids. Through them we socialize with loved ones, work on our passion projects, and explore our curiosities. But on their own, they don’t actually do a whole lot—they’re kind of just there.

We believe the browser could do so much more, empowering and supporting the amazing things we do on the internet.

To accomplish this lofty task, we’re building a diverse team of people from different backgrounds and experiences. This isn’t optional—it’s crucial to our mission, as we need a wide range of perspectives to challenge our assumptions and shape our browser through a bold, creative lens. With that in mind, we especially encourage women, people of color, and others from historically marginalized groups to apply.

Building software is changing. With modern AI coding tools and automated reviewers, the bottlenecks in shipping products are shifting from “how fast can you type” to “how have you designed the system that writes, reviews, and ships the code.” At The Browser Company, we believe this shift is so profound that how we build is as important, and ultimately as defensible, as what we build.

We’re investing deeply in “building how we build”: an AI‑native development stack that turns our way of working into compounding leverage for every engineer and team. Our vision is a world where most code is generated and reviewed by AI, where model training and prompt optimization are automated, and where product builders operate at a higher layer—seeing trends, deciding what to build, and clicking the “right” buttons rather than hand‑crafting every line.

• Design and lead the “build how we build” platform: an internal SaaS‑like experience where engineers and non‑engineers can describe what they want, and our system realizes the rest.
• Partner with AI and infra teams to wire together the pieces we already have—AI coding tools, virtualized environments, CI, AI code reviewers, evals, and prompt and model optimization—into a cohesive, opinionated product that our teams love to use.
• Define success metrics for this platform and iterate quickly based on real usage and feedback from our engineers.
• Turn our Dev Ex stack into true leverage, so that every engineer and PM can move with 10x more impact.

• 5+ years of experience with developer tools and build environments, open‑source developer tooling, or low‑level systems experience.
• Experience owning a zero‑to‑one product or platform, ideally in a role with founder‑like autonomy (founder/CTO, tech lead, staff/principal on a platform or Dev Ex team).
• You’re passionate about building tools and systems that make other engineers more productive and strive to make them elegant and maintainable.
• You thrive in a high‑trust, high‑ambiguity environment: you seek feedback, but you don’t need hand‑holding.
• We’re primarily focused on hiring in North American time zones and require that folks have 4+ hours of overlap time with team members in Eastern Time Zone.

• Our total compensation package for full‑time employees includes base salary, equity, and benefits. The annual salary range for this role is $290,000 - $340,000 USD. The actual salary offered will vary based on experience level and interview performance.
