Steel | Open-source Headless Browser API
Open Roles • About Steel • Our Tech Stack • Our Values • Links
Steel is building open-source browser infrastructure for AI agents & apps.
We make it easy for developers to ship AI products that interact with the web using our Sessions API. We believe in a future where AI uses the majority of our software for us and we’re building the browser that will connect the next billion agents to the internet to make that happen.
As a small team, we’re all generalists constantly picking up new challenges. We like to ship fast and often. We are obsessed with delivering world-class DX and evangelizing the web agents space. We’re looking to work with sharp, experienced people who can pick a new problem and solve it.
With 2.5k+ GitHub stars, world-class investors, and millions of api calls served, we're building a remote-first team that's shaping the future of how humans interact with the internet.

Our Tech Stack
- Our entire tech stack is in Typescript — this helps with cohesion on the frontend/backend/orchestration allowing anyone to jump in and help anywhere
- Frontend is written in Vanilla React + TailwindCSS + Shadcn, built using Vite, and deployed on Vercel
- We use Fastify, Node.js, Zod and Drizzle on the backend with Redis, PostgreSQL, and S3 for our primary data stores
- For infra, we rely on Firecracker VMs and Docker
- GitHub, Discord, Notion, Figma - you know the deal
Our Values
- User First, Always: The developers building on Steel and their end-users come first. Our infrastructure is mission-critical to some of the most important AI apps—we succeed only when our users succeed.
- Open Source at Heart: We build in the open and contribute back to the community. Open source isn't just a strategy for us—it's fundamental to how we create better software and push the entire field forward.
- Move with Speed & Urgency: Speed is our #1 business strategy. We make quick, deliberate decisions, learn rapidly through action, and stay intensely focused on what moves the needle.
- Build for the Long Term: Infrastructure is a decades-long game and we want to go the distance. We tackle building enduring services the only way we know how — Gradatim Ferociter.
- Be Obsessed: Beyond the point that most would consider reasonable. We're obsessive about API design, performance, and reliability—not because we have to be, but because we want to be. If you consider your craft as an extension of yourself, you'll fit right in.
- Show, Don't Tell: Start with the experience we want developers to have—the docs they'll read, the demos that'll make them say "wow." Then work backwards until the implementation matches the magic.
