About the Role

We are looking for experienced full-stack engineers to join our new Agent Enablement team. Our goal is to design and grow an open ecosystem of agent-enabled sites and services. This is a wide-ranging role: you’ll build new user and agent identity protocols, user experiences to control and observe agents across web, desktop, and mobile, and much more.

We will rely on you to drive our technical decisions while also steering our product and partnership direction, optimizing for both short-term impact and long-term success of the ecosystem. We value engineers who are impact-driven, autonomous, and adept at removing barriers to forward progress.

In this role, you will

• Design the primitives and protocols for an open agent ecosystem, enabling our users’ agents to make the best use of sites and services across the internet.

• Build a next-generation user experience to observe and control agents, across web, desktop, and mobile.

• Evolve our approach to token consumption across subscriptions and API customers.

• Execute on fast-paced projects in collaboration with research, design, data science and other product engineering teams.

• Work closely with our strategic customers and partners to grow the ecosystem.

You might thrive in this role if you

• Have strong full-stack engineering skills and experience shipping customer-facing products from concept to production. You’re comfortable working across frontend, backend, APIs, data models, and product design.

• Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing conditions. You view change as an opportunity to bring structure and clarity, and you have a track record of turning high-level ideas into successful outcomes.

• Have worked closely with users and customers, and can translate feedback into product improvements.

• Are familiar with enterprise software concepts such as identity, permissions, governance, compliance, and billing.

• Enjoy fast-moving zero-to-one environments and are excited to pursue an internet-wide vision.
