Software Engineer

Smartcuts is building a browser extension that turns your clicks and keystrokes into shareable, no-code automations (1-minute video). We're looking for individuals who approach their craft with curiosity, clarity, and an appetite to learn to join our tiny but mighty distributed team. Smartcuts investors include Y Combinator, SignalFire, and prominent angels including the founders of Fitbit, Hubspot, Lyft, and Segment. We use ReasonML, ReScript, Next.js, Vercel, GraphQL, and the serverless database Fauna. Our choices were built on a preference for strongly typed, functional languages and for serverless architectures -- choices that allow us to focus on the necessary, not the incidental, complexity of the problem space.

Some of the interesting engineering and design challenges in this problem space?

• How do you design a product that doesn't expose engineering concepts to users?
• How can you design an algorithm that can reliably locate elements on a page, without asking the user to specify css selectors?
• How can you leverage AI to automatically detect and extract structured records from a web page?
