The team waiting for you:
You’ll join a team focused on shaping our AI direction through hands-on exploration, technical insight, and a strong understanding of developer needs. Working closely with the fast-moving AI agent ecosystem, the team tests new tools in practice, turns findings into clear product recommendations, and helps ensure our products, website, documentation, and positioning resonate with a technical audience.
In this role, you’ll:
- Continuously research and test AI agent tools, developer products, and emerging infrastructure players, then turn findings into clear recommendations for our product and go-to-market direction.
- Use our products end-to-end from a developer perspective, auditing the experience across product flows, website, docs, and technical messaging to identify friction, gaps, and misleading positioning.
- Track changes in the AI and agent ecosystem, including MCP, browser-use standards, agent-to-agent patterns, and new developer workflows, and highlight what matters most for our product strategy.
- Maintain a living view of the agent tooling landscape, including frameworks, SDKs, key competitors, and emerging categories relevant to proxies, scraping, and developer infrastructure.
- Identify opportunities to connect new agent-facing use cases and integrations with our existing proxy and scraping capabilities.
- Represent our technical direction in external communities by engaging with developers, following open-source conversations, and sharing ecosystem insights back with internal teams.
Your skills & experience:
- Hands-on software development experience, with an understanding of developer workflows, technical products, and how developers evaluate tools in practice
- Strong understanding of the AI tooling landscape, with hands-on curiosity around agents, LLM applications, developer tools, APIs, and technical workflows.
- Ability to evaluate products critically from a developer-user perspective and translate observations into concrete product, positioning, or integration recommendations.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to summarize complex technical trends clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable working in a fast-changing space, forming opinions with incomplete information, and adjusting quickly as the ecosystem evolves.
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with proxy, scraping, browser automation, or data extraction products.
- Exposure to AI agent frameworks, browser-use tools, MCP-related developments, or developer infrastructure ecosystems.
- Experience participating in technical communities, open-source ecosystems, conferences, or Discord/Slack developer groups.
