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. Our services are utilized by teams at Cash App, Vercel, Framer, and Rye, along with over 5,000 developers for tasks such as QA automation, RPA, virtual assistants, and CUA RL environments. We have secured $22M in funding from prominent investors including Accel, YCombinator, Vercel, Paul Graham, Solomon Hykes (Docker), David Cramer (Sentry), and Charlie Marsh (Astral).

As a Technical Content Engineer at Kernel, you will primarily be a builder who codes, then writes, records, or discusses their work. You should be fast, hands-on, knowledgeable about the latest in the agentic stack, and adept at using AI tools to enhance productivity without compromising quality. Your role will involve creating tangible projects with Kernel, such as agents, demos, and SDKs, and transforming these into engaging blog posts, videos, and tutorials. You will serve as the public face of Kernel's developer experience, fostering our community of builders creating browser-based AI agents, and relaying insights back to product, engineering, and marketing teams.
