Software Engineer - Browser Automation

<h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Mission</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">If you ask a hospital today how much a treatment will cost, the answer is usually: “We don’t know.”</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Not because providers don’t want to tell you but because patient cost is computed across insurance plans, negotiated rates, and billing rules that are fragmented, opaque, and not designed for real-time transparency.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">What should be a simple question requires navigating a web of systems that don’t talk to each other.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">So humans do that work instead.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">They log into portals, call payers, follow decision trees, and manually stitch together answers across disconnected systems. Even when providers want to give a clear answer, the system makes it nearly impossible.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">At Bravebird, we’re changing that.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">We’re building agents that do the work between systems - end to end.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">We believe the future of work is machines talking to machines, handling fragmented, system-to-system workflows so humans can focus on decisions, judgment, and care.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong>About The Role</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">We’re building agentic AI systems that can reason, act, and operate reliably in messy, real-world environments - across chat, voice, and full computer-use interfaces.</span></div><div><br></div><div>As a Software Engineer (Browser Automation), you will build the backbone that makes our agents reliable, scalable, and production-ready.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">This is a deeply technical, high-ownership role. You’ll work directly with founders, shape the technical direction, and ship systems that are used in real-world, high-stakes environments.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h2><ul><li class=""><strong>Build Robust Automation Engines:</strong> Design and develop highly reliable browser automation scripts capable of navigating complex, fragmented legacy portals.</li><li class=""><strong>Architect Stealth Infrastructure:</strong> Build and scale the execution infrastructure required to run high-fidelity automations seamlessly, utilizing advanced stealth execution techniques, browser fingerprinting, and residential proxy management.</li><li class=""><strong>Scale Execution:</strong> Orchestrate the concurrent, high-throughput execution of thousands of long-running automation workflows with low latency and high consistency.</li><li class=""><strong>Build Self-Healing Workflows:</strong> Develop deterministic and AI-assisted self-healing mechanisms that allow scripts to automatically adapt to dynamic UI updates, layout shifts, and element mutations without human intervention.</li></ul><div><br></div><h2><strong>What You’ll Bring</strong></h2><ul><li class=""><strong>3+ years of software engineering experience</strong> with a proven track record of building and maintaining production-grade automation or web-scraping systems at scale.</li><li class=""><strong>Deep expertise in browser automation tools</strong> (e.g., Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium) and a mastery of the DOM, browser headers, and session management.</li><li class=""><strong>Strong architectural thinking</strong> around state management, distributed queues, and retries for long-running, non-deterministic workflows.</li><li class=""><strong>A resilient problem-solving mindset</strong>—you enjoy reverse-engineering obscure systems, finding stable workarounds, and building highly durable software for restrictive environments.</li></ul><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">What We Offer</strong></h2><ul><li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Ownership and impact</span></li><li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Competitive compensation with meaningful equity</span></li><li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Direct access to founders and customers</span></li><li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The opportunity to ship production systems in high-stakes environments</span></li></ul><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">We’re based in San Francisco and prefer working in person, but are flexible for exceptional remote candidates. </span></div>
