About Tavily We're building the infrastructure layer for agentic web interaction at scale. Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent — but also informed. We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI — from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it's powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we're the missing link between LLMs and the real world. The Role We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build the web access infrastructure behind a novel search engine designed for agentic AI. In this role, you will investigate how modern websites communicate with browsers and translate that understanding into production systems operating at internet scale. You will build browser infrastructure and tooling that enables reliable, efficient access to web content across a rapidly changing web. Your responsibilities will include: Research and analyse how modern websites communicate with browsers across the complete request lifecycle Investigate browser fingerprinting, client verification mechanisms, and modern web technologies to enable reliable web access Build tooling for browser instrumentation, debugging, observability, and large-scale experimentation Translate technical research into production systems operating at internet scale Requirements You have 5+ years of experience as a software engineer working on production backend or infrastructure systems, and are an expert in several of the following areas: Browser Technologies Chromium architecture and browser internals Browser lifecycle and navigation Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or similar browser automation frameworks Browser instrumentation and debugging Web Platform HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 — TLS, DNS, and browser networking Cookies, browser storage, caching, redirects, and session management JavaScript execution and modern client-side rendering Resource loading, page lifecycle, and browser networking Browser fingerprinting concepts and browser characteristics Nice to Have Experience working on browser engines or browser infrastructure Experience reverse engineering browser or web application behaviour Experience building internet-scale distributed systems Go, C++, Rust, or Python Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure We conduct coding interviews as part of the process. Why Tavily ? Full ownership — small team, you own the entire infrastructure, not a slice of it Real scaling challenges — bursty scraping workloads, cache invalidation, multi-region, millions of daily requests AI-native company — your infra directly powers AI agents used by leading companies in the space.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
