About Kernel

Kernel is building the developer platform that lets AI agents use browsers. Our edge is cloud infrastructure: extensible, observable, built to scale from day one. We run the hard stuff—autoscaling reliable browser infrastructure, session persistence, observability, human-in-the-loop workflows—so developers don’t have to. Every LLM that has tool access also needs a browser — that’s Kernel.

​
About the role

We’re looking for someone who lives at the intersection of developer tools, browser automation, and AI agents. Someone who can go deep on technical infra (unikernels, WebRTC, microVMs) and then translate that into content that excites, educates, and grows a community. You might be a developer who’s already a prolific blogger, a dev advocate with a content bias, or a content marketer who vibe codes on weekends. The common thread: you know how developers think and you love writing.

​
What you’ll do

  • Write deep technical content: blog posts, tutorials, guides, docs on topics like persistence, stealth mode, unikernel startup, and live-view debugging.
  • Tell Kernel’s story: use cases, customer stories, why we exist, what problems we solve, and how we’re different.
  • Run our blog + newsletter: grow a consistent voice for Kernel across blog, newsletter, and social, highlighting features, demos, and open-source projects.
  • Shape social content: repurpose long-form content into short, scroll-stopping posts. Keep Kernel present in the developer/agent ecosystem.
  • Spot trends: stay ahead of conversations around agentic AI, infra, and automation, and plug Kernel into those discussions.

​
What we’re looking for

  • You love writing and are comfortable with code (you’ve coded, or at least read/write it with ease).
  • You understand developer workflows and can pick up browser automation frameworks (Playwright, Puppeteer, Browser Use, Computer Use).
  • You can switch between long-form content (tutorials, whitepapers) and snappy social posts.
  • You love high velocity environments: Kernel ships fast, and you do too! You can draft, edit, and publish multiple pieces a week across formats (blogs, docs, social), balancing speed with technical depth.
  • You’re plugged into developer + startup culture, following what’s trending.
  • Experience with SEO + growth of social presence.

​
What you can expect as a Kernel

  • Industry-competitive salary
  • Above market equity— 0.1% to 0.25% (first content hire).
  • Premium medical + dental coverage + dependent coverage
  • Small, trusting team of builders
  • Default async—minimal bureaucracy, only two meetings a week
  • $1k / mo budget for LLM usage fees #vibecheck
  • Daily lunches on us
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 401k + company match
  • Relocation assistance

​
Hiring process

We have a simple process focused on real world collaboration and jointly getting to know each other:
  1. 30 minute intro calls with each of Kernel’s co-founders (1 hour total)
  2. Half-day on-site (virtual or in-person) working with our team and co-founders on relevant technical challenges.
  3. Offer!
