Technical Content Engineer

About Kernel Kernel provides crazy fast, open source infrastructure for AI agents to use the internet. Our API allows developers to instantly spin up secure browsers and automate anything on the web. We handle all the hard problems of running browser-based agents in production: agents x user credentials, autoscaling, bot detection, and human-in-the-loop workflows. We're used by teams at Cash App, Vercel, Framer, Rye, and over 5,000 developers for tasks like QA automation, RPA, virtual assistants, and CUA RL environments. We've raised $22M from Accel, YCombinator, Vercel, Paul Graham, Solomon Hykes (Docker), David Cramer (Sentry), Charlie Marsh (Astral), and more. About the role As a Technical Content Engineer at Kernel, you're a builder first: someone who ships code, then writes, records, or talks about what you built. You're fast, hands-on, plugged into what's new in the agentic stack, and comfortable using AI tools to move quickly without it showing in the final product. You'll build real things with Kernel (agents, demos, SDKs, sample apps), then turn that work into blog posts, videos, and tutorials that show developers how to do the same. You'll be the public face of Kernel's developer experience, growing our community of builders shipping browser-based AI agents, and feeding what you learn back into product, engineering, and marketing.
