Job description:

### **TL; DR** We need a founding, full-stack engineer who wants to work directly with our unicorn/decacorn customers, to build our agentic SSO platform. London-based engineers will work largely independently, helping Aglide reach global coverage. ### **Who are we?** Single Sign On systems (e.g., Okta) are the foundation of company security. Simply put, they connect employees to their work apps (AWS, Slack, etc.). When apps are managed by SSO, they’re protected by the company’s suite of security tools (e.g. access logs). If an app isn’t connected to SSO, it’s vulnerable. Existing SSOs are broken, as they require connected apps to support a series of protocols (e.g., SAML). Most apps either [paywall the protocols](https://sso.tax/), or just don’t support them - leaving critical services (bank accounts, Apple Developer, etc.) vulnerable. We spent the last 18 months inventing an entirely novel solution to fix this. What it does today is quite simple: it takes any app and connects it to a company’s SSO, without using the protocols. However, because it’s agentic, what we want it to do tomorrow is incredibly exciting. Customers love Aglide. Giants (unicorns, decacorns) are discovering us deep on Reddit forums, overlooking our currently small size, and closing 6-figure deals with us. We have (a lot) more customers than capacity. So, we just closed a $3+ million seed from the world’s greatest investor, are moving our HQ to San Francisco, and are setting out to build a unicorn. ### **The Job** As a founding engineer, you’ll do more than write good code and release features. You’ll help us work out how to make a local agent do amazing things, for amazing customers. To do this, you will: * Join calls with exciting companies (speaking to people who may be entirely assigned to implementing our platform) to learn about their countless problems. * Make a series of “educated bets” on how you can fix them. * Work independently to build and ship your solutions _extremely_ fast (that week). Our headquarters will be in SF, but we maintain a London office for global coverage. If you stay in London, you will have to do a lot of this work independently, with only one Aglide founder spending a small portion of their time here. When it all works, it makes the evenings and weekends worth it. While we’re comfortable with a little tech debt, we will never cut corners on security. Our entire stack is zero-trust, end-to-end encrypted, and almost every task is performed locally. You’re joining this EARLY. It’s unstructured but you’ll get to see and define the future of an inflecting startup. ### **Required Skills** * 3+ years experience with the full stack: * Backend: Node/Express, Postgres (Prisma) * Frontend: React * Desire to meet our customers, pick up insights, rapidly design and ship tasteful solutions, get their feedback, and iterate. * Comfortable with the day-to-day demands of a growth startup - able to move fast, using modern tools, without getting distracted by fads. ### **Highly Desirable Skills** * Experience with any of the following: * Typescript * Electron * Web-scripting / automation (Puppeteer a massive plus) * Chrome Extensions * Experience building highly secure systems, e.g. zero-trust and end-to-end encryption. * Experience with cybersecurity or knowledge of SSO, identity, etc. * Worked in startups, and willing to help us shape team processes and culture. * Opinionated on SaaS, design, startups, and technology. ## **Benefits** * Competitive salary and equity options. You should describe Aglide as “my company”. * Potential US Visa Sponsorship/Frequent US Travel - you can start in our London office, and move with the founders to our SF HQ. * Private medical, and any equipment/tools you need to work your best. * Largely remote work (though when a founder’s in London, we’d love to work with you in the office) * Access to Aglide’s line of apparel (we don’t do merch).
