About the Role
You will architect and build the core automation runtime for resilient UI interactions and reliable data entry, design secure network interception layers to capture and parse financial data, build high performance communication protocols to connect client side agents to a centralized backend, develop solutions for multi step authentication flows such as MFA and Passkeys, navigate strict execution boundaries and security sandboxes in modern browser and mobile webviews, build resiliency and scalability into the platform to adapt to dynamic DOM changes and different portal structures, introduce engineering patterns and practices that enable scale, and mentor engineers while upholding engineering excellence.
Requirements
- 10+ years of hands on software engineering experience, deeply focused on advanced web automation, browser internals, extension development, or complex frontend to backend data extraction.
- Deep proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, specifically regarding deep DOM manipulation, modern web APIs, and strict browser execution environments.
- Strong backend experience, ideally with Golang (or Node.js/Python), to design the centralized WebSocket routing hubs and operational infrastructure.
- Strong security fundamentals: you deeply understand secure message passing across trust boundaries (JS bridges, isolated vs. main worlds), secure authentication handshakes, and mitigating DOM based injection risks.
- Expertise in analyzing complex network architectures and single page applications (SPAs) to establish resilient data ingestion pipelines without relying on brittle UI selectors.
- Experience with distributed systems, specifically managing persistent connections and stateful, multi‑hop sessions across ephemeral client runtimes.
- Comfort with ambiguity; the ability to independently lay out and test clear hypotheses and solve problems without well defined direction.
- BS or MS degree in Computer Science or Engineering OR equivalent years of work experience.
- Proven track record of developing production grade browser extensions (Chrome MV3) or integrating complex web automation within mobile native environments (iOS WKWebView, Android WebView).
- Strong understanding of WebAuthn / Passkey protocols and how to integrate them into automated flows.
- Previous engineering experience at a major financial data aggregator or building zero knowledge client side data extraction tools.
- Understanding of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, including major protocols, on‑chain transaction flows, and common crypto security practices.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build the core automation runtime, focusing on resilient UI interactions, reliable programmatic data entry, and robust session routing.
- Design and implement secure network interception layers to seamlessly capture and parse underlying financial data streams without relying solely on fragile UI elements.
- Build and maintain high‑performance communication protocols that connect our distributed client‑side agents to a centralized backend routing hub.
- Develop elegant solutions to navigate complex, multi‑step authentication flows—such as MFA and Passkeys—by seamlessly bridging background automation with user‑facing interactive prompts.
- Navigate and engineer around the strict execution boundaries, security sandboxes, and ephemeral lifecycles inherent in modern browser and mobile webview environments.
- Build resiliency and scalability into the platform at every step, adapting quickly to dynamic DOM changes, varying mobile/desktop portal structures, and application suspension states.
- Introduce industry leading engineering patterns and practices that give us the confidence to operate at scale.
- Support the engineering team in achieving a high level of technical excellence, actively mentoring senior and mid‑level engineers.
