Company Description

Foothill Ventures is a technology-focused venture fund based in Los Altos, California. We make pre-seed, seed (preferred), and A-round investments in startups across software, life science, and deep tech. We grew out of the TEEC Angel Fund, which made seed-stage, highly successful bets on companies like Zoom Communications, Carta, Plus.ai, WeRide.ai and Ginkgo Bioworks, all subsequent Unicorns.

We provide support to our portfolio companies in various areas, including recruiting and talent acquisition. This role is posted on our website for our portfolio companies.

Job Description

Portfolio Company Doable AI

About the role

We’re building an AI-driven platform that executes QA browser tasks end-to-end. We’re hiring a senior full-stack engineer who’s excited about this direction and can own a key product/component—from architecture to delivery—while collaborating tightly with Product, UX, Product Ops, and customers.

What you’ll do

Own a major component of our product (design, build, ship, and iterate).
Build full-stack features across web UI, backend services, and integrations.
Work closely with PM/UX to turn ambiguous problems into simple, delightful workflows.
Partner with Product Ops and customers to validate needs, iterate quickly, and drive adoption.
Use AI tooling to accelerate development, debugging, testing, and documentation.
Improve quality and velocity through strong engineering practices (testing, observability, code reviews, CI/CD).

Qualifications

4+ years of software engineering experience with full-stack ownership in production systems.
Strong frontend skills (modern JS/TS frameworks) and backend/API development experience.
Track record of shipping quickly without sacrificing reliability or user experience.
Product-minded: comfortable with customer feedback loops and making tradeoffs.
Excellent collaboration and communication across functions (PM, UX, Ops).
Passion for AI agents/automation, browser workflows, or developer productivity.

Nice to have

Experience with test automation, QA tooling, Playwright/Selenium, or browser instrumentation.
Experience with LLM/agent systems, evals, prompt/tooling design, or workflow orchestration.
Startup experience (0→1, fast iteration, high ownership).

Why join

High ownership, direct customer impact, and rapid iteration.
Build the future of AI-driven QA and browser automation with a small, focused team.
