  • 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:

  • 3+ years of hands-on software development experience, with a strong 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.
  • Salary & Benefits:

  • Gross salary: from 2800 EUR/month to 5600 EUR/month. Keep in mind that we are open to discussing a different salary based on your skills and experience.
  • Growth & Learning: 40+ internal learning options, external conferences, mentorship, and year-round knowledge-sharing.
