About The Position

Kernel provides fast, open-source infrastructure for AI agents to use the internet. Our API allows developers to instantly spin up secure browsers and automate anything on the web. We handle complex issues like agent x user credentials, autoscaling, bot detection, and human-in-the-loop workflows. We are used by teams at Cash App, Vercel, Framer, Rye, and over 5000 developers for tasks such as QA automation, RPA, virtual assistants, and CUA RL environments. We have raised $22M from prominent investors and individuals. As a DevRel Engineer at Kernel, you will be a blend of builder, solutions engineer, and community advocate, deeply involved with the developer community. This is a hands-on engineering role, with approximately 50% of your time dedicated to coding tools, demos, and SDKs, and the remaining time focused on supporting developers. As an infrastructure company, developers are our primary users. In this role, you will be the public face of Kernel for developers, creating content, interacting with the community, and relaying insights back to our product and engineering teams. You will play a key role in educating builders about browser infrastructure, facilitating Kernel adoption, and advancing the capabilities of AI agents on the live Web.
