About The Position

About us Felicity is a beautiful creation tool for browser automations. Automating browser workflows is often a frustrating and time-consuming task for engineers and operators. At Felicity, our mission is to deliver a browser automation platform that combines elegant UI with blazing fast performance. We believe AI should enhance, not replace, structured systems.

Founded in late 2024, Felicity is already the browser automation platform of choice for several healthcare companies. We’ve raised $5.75M from top investors including Accel, XYZ, and Afore. You will join a small team of staff engineers from Square, Google, Oscar, Palantir, and Apple. Tech A real-time no-code editor built into a Chrome extension, powered by WXT.
