Stagehand is Browserbase’s framework for automating browsers with code. The Stagehand team creates developer tools at the intersection of AI and open source — making browser automation smarter, simpler, and more powerful.

What you'll do

  • Build, operate, and grow the Stagehand framework — developer-first APIs with ~2M monthly downloads and ~17k stars. Design and implement tools that make automating the web simple and powerful.

  • Work with frontier AI labs (OpenAI, Google, and others) to improve models, benchmark capabilities, and make them more accessible to developers.

  • Deploy production-ready AI solutions that impact millions of customers, shaping the future of the web.

  • Help define, scope, and prioritize projects that shape the future of developer tooling.

  • Document as you go and share your knowledge with the team.

Technical skills:

  • Strong coding skills: preferably TypeScript; also valuable: Python/Go.

  • Experience building developer tools, frameworks, or libraries that others depend on.

  • Experience building AI agents/LLMs, distributed systems, or applying reinforcement learning.

  • Familiarity with web automation frameworks (Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium) or web scraping; huge bonus: Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) experience.

  • Track record of open source contributions or public developer projects.

You're a good fit if you:

  • Have high agency: you can set direction, make judgment calls, and drive projects forward without waiting for perfect clarity.

  • Have a strong sense of ownership and bias toward action.

  • Can drive projects independently, with high accountability without much outside input.

  • Communicate clearly in writing and in person, and choose the right medium for the message.

  • Are adaptable and able to dive into unfamiliar systems, learn quickly, and make sound technical decisions.

  • Enjoy collaborating with a small, ambitious team in a fast-paced environment.

  • Are excited to work 5 days a week in our San Francisco HQ (or open to relocating here).

You are a good fit for this role if you:

  • Shape the future of browser automation with AI-driven developer tools.

  • Work in the open: collaborate with and contribute to the broader open source community.

  • Collaborate with a small, high-bar team of engineers who care deeply about quality.

  • Join an ambitious startup where your impact will be felt immediately.
