As a Full Stack Engineer at Browserbase, you’ll be directly responsible for developing our customer-facing web presence. You’ll ensure it is high performance, scalable, constantly evolving and growing, and that it offers the exceptional capabilities and user experience our customers are looking for.

As a Full Stack Engineer at Browserbase, you will:

  • Build, operate, and improve Browserbase’s web properties.

  • Own and deliver complete features across the entire stack, from UI to backend infrastructure.

  • Collaborate with product designers to translate requirements into technical specifications and deliverables.

  • Work with the rest of the Engineering team daily, collaborating on service integration, development practices, and security.

  • Help define, scope, and review key projects; prioritize roadmap objectives; and sequence our deliverables.

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

  • Be based in—or willing to relocate to—San Francisco and be able to work regularly from our Union Square office.

Being responsible for our web stack means:

  • Developing and maintaining responsive web applications using modern frontend frameworks, tools, and UI design techniques.

  • Architect and implement web infrastructure enhancements to meet rapidly expanding customer adoption and demand.

  • Writing clean, maintainable code while following best practices for testing and documentation.

  • Making smart choices and sound judgment calls around design decisions and implementation approaches.

  • Investigating, troubleshooting, and resolving any operational incidents that may arise.

  • Helping to ensure customer success with the platform.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

  • Experience designing, building, and running complex HA web applications at scale.

  • In-depth expertise coding in React, NextJS, and Tailwind.

  • Hands-on experience developing API and database backends.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, performance optimization, and zero-downtime deployments.

  • Dedication to operational excellence. Expertise with observability, monitoring, alerting, and logging.

  • To be highly attuned to customer expectations, product deliverables, and critical deadlines.

You’re a good fit for this role if you:

  • Have a willingness to do whatever it takes. Bias towards action and having a process that embodies “show > tell.”

  • Have a high sense of agency and accountability and can prioritize your work without much outside input.

  • Value taking ownership and responsibility for your projects and systems.

  • Excel in both written and verbal communication. You thoughtfully leverage different modes of communication that best fit what you’re trying to communicate.

  • Have direct experience building great products. You like to collaborate with others to implement your ideas.

  • Are adaptable. You’re able to immerse yourself in unfamiliar topics and understand complex technical concepts in order to make informed decisions.

  • Are a strong systems thinker and can understand how your decisions impact the customer experience all the way down the stack.

  • Love working with a great team in a fast-paced environment.
