Company Description
Asteroid builds AI browser agents for enterprise operations teams. Their agents run directly in the browser — no APIs, no connectors — automating mission-critical workflows like prior authorization, insurance quoting, and patient data entry at scale. Founded by David (CEO) and Joe (CTO), the team was first to deploy computer-use agents to healthcare and processes thousands of browser agent executions daily. Backed by Y Combinator (W25) and Entrepreneur First, with angels from OpenAI and Hugging Face.
Founder background
David (CEO) has built robots, algorithms for a space agency, and AI agents — graduated top of his class from leading universities across the UK, Singapore, Israel, and Czech Republic. Joe (CTO) has been building LLM systems since GPT-2 and designed Netcraft's Scam Intelligence system, with agents disrupting hundreds of millions in fraud annually.
Traction
Trusted by 100+ teams. Thousands of mission-critical browser agent executions per day. First to deploy computer-use agents to healthcare. HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified. Customers include Thyme Care, CollegeVine, Wagepoint, and others.
Asteroid processes thousands of mission-critical browser agent executions per day — and the interface for supervising them has never been built before. You'll own the entire product experience end-to-end: design system, onboarding, core frontend features, and the website. This isn't a maintenance role — you're creating the UX paradigm for what it means to supervise an AI workforce at scale across complex, exception-heavy workflows. The team is world-class at AI and infrastructure. What's missing is someone with taste.
Requirements
- Proven experience building and shipping products used by thousands of weekly active users, ideally B2B
- Full-stack engineering capability — you don't stop at the frontend
- Ability to translate customer feedback into specific, high-impact platform improvements
- Incredible taste — a perfectionist who knows when to ship
- Self-motivated, hard-working, and extremely AI-native
- 3+ years of relevant experience
Nice to Haves
- Design background — Figma fluency and visual design chops
- Strong AI engineering skills
- PM-like instincts — can run a roadmap, not just execute on one
- Experience managing customer accounts directly
Benefits
- Contract-to-hire path (full-time or part-time)
- Work alongside the full team in SF, ideally in person
- Greenfield ownership — no legacy codebase or design system to inherit
Compensation Details
Salary $130K–$160K. Equity 0.20%–0.40%. Contract-to-hire path available. Standard 4-year vest with 1-year cliff assumed.
