About this role
We're creating the third layer of interaction — a personalized AI action layer that lives across all your workflows. If that excites you, and you’re a world-class infrastructure expert, please apply.
Why Dex Matters
Flow is everything. Every tab switch, every UI reload, every wait for an AI handoff kills momentum.
The future of productivity is collaborative AI. Dex is an active, real-time partner embedded directly in your browser—the place where your work actually lives.
Context makes or breaks a product. You need systems that understand where you are, what you're doing, and what should happen next.
What You'll Build
Core agent components, including memory stores, context compression, inter-agent protocols, planning and tool use.
High performance state management and real-time UI observation systems.
Scalable infrastructure for browser-native AI.
Requirements
Expert in React/Next.js, TypeScript, and Python.
Deep browser internals experience.
Proven rapid prototype to production track record.
Preferred: Prior experience with AI/ML infra or agentic systems.
Sample Projects
Translating browser inputs (voice, keyboard and mouse inputs, tab changes, DOM) into actionable workflow graphs.
Agentic systems that predict and execute users’ next steps in complex workflows.
A searchable, self-updating memory store for personalized user flow paths.
