Job description

LandEarly is building an auto-apply tool that watches job boards like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable for fresh postings, then tailors and submits applications on behalf of job seekers within minutes of a role going live. We're looking for a Browser Automation Engineer to help design, build, and maintain the systems that reliably interact with these external job platforms at scale.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain robust browser automation flows that navigate, fill, and submit applications across third-party ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and others)
• Design scraping and monitoring systems that detect new job postings quickly and accurately across thousands of external sites
• Handle the inevitable churn of front-end changes, anti-bot protections, and inconsistent DOM structures on external sites without breaking core flows
• Instrument automation pipelines with strong logging, alerting, and self-healing behavior so failures are caught and resolved quickly
• Collaborate with backend and product engineers to integrate automation results into the core application and tracking experience
• Continuously improve reliability, speed, and success rate of automated submissions as new job platforms and edge cases emerge

What we're looking for

• Professional experience building browser automation or web scraping systems using tools such as Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript or Python skills, with experience running headless browsers at scale
• Practical experience handling anti-bot measures, CAPTCHAs, rate limiting, and other constraints of automating third-party sites
• Comfort debugging flaky, non-deterministic systems and building resilience into automation pipelines
• Solid understanding of web fundamentals - DOM structure, network requests, authentication flows, and browser APIs
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure for running distributed or containerized browser automation jobs

Nice to have

• Experience building or maintaining integrations with applicant tracking systems (ATS)
• Familiarity with proxy management, browser fingerprinting, or stealth automation techniques
• Background in data pipelines or ETL systems supporting real-time data ingestion
