Description For Founding Engineer (US)

Aglide is revolutionizing the way companies handle access security through their innovative agentic SSO technology. As a founding engineer, you'll be joining a rapidly growing startup that has just secured $3+ million in seed funding and is establishing its HQ in San Francisco.

The role involves more than just coding - you'll be working directly with unicorn/decacorn customers to understand their security challenges and build solutions. You'll be responsible for developing and maintaining their zero-trust, end-to-end encrypted platform that connects any app to company SSOs without traditional protocols.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable with full-stack development (Node/Express, Postgres, React) and have a product-focused mindset. Experience with TypeScript, Electron, web automation (especially Puppeteer), and Chrome Extensions is highly valued. Knowledge of security systems and SSO is a plus.

This is an early-stage opportunity where you'll help shape the future of enterprise security. While the work environment is fast-paced and sometimes requires evening/weekend work, the company offers competitive compensation, equity, and benefits including medical insurance and visa sponsorship.

The company's innovative approach has already attracted major customers who are finding them through Reddit forums and closing 6-figure deals. They're focused on solving a critical problem in enterprise security - the vulnerability of apps that can't connect to SSO systems due to protocol limitations or paywalls.

If you're passionate about security, enjoy working directly with customers, and want to be part of building a potential unicorn from the ground up, this role offers the perfect opportunity to make a significant impact in the enterprise security space.
