If you're applying: Apply only if you are in San Francisco or willing to relocate, since no roles are remote. The browser security and infrastructure roles ask for deep systems skills. The developer advocate, DevRel and content roles ask for hands-on building with agents and writing docs and tutorials. The Infrastructure Engineer role has been open since December 2025, so a direct approach to the team may help.
If you're selling or recruiting: Eight open roles, all in San Francisco. The velocity flag is freeze because no roles opened in the last 30 days, though three opened in the prior 30. Hiring is mostly engineering: systems and browser security, plus four developer-facing roles. The Account Executive and Solutions Engineer pair is the only go-to-market hiring, and both want candidates who understand browser automation and API-first developer tools.
