Artificial Intelligence • Data

Wynd Labs is focused on making public web data accessible for artificial intelligence applications. The company provides enterprise customers with robust web scraping networks for accessing diverse data, such as financial insights for small to medium cap equities.

Their platform supports a wide range of business solutions, including AI training data, price scraping, ad verification, and financial data services.

📋 Description

• Architecting the Fork: Designing and building a custom Chromium-based browser tailored to Wynd’s specific networking and performance requirements. • Upstream Mastery: Managing the relentless intake of upstream Chromium releases. You’ll be the gatekeeper, ensuring our custom patches play nice with the latest Google updates. • Stability & Triage: Owning the "crash-to-resolution" pipeline. You’ll analyze crash dumps, triage issues in the field, and implement robust fixes to ensure five-nines of stability. • Workflow Engineering: Building the CI/CD and QA infrastructure required to compile, test, and deploy a massive C++ codebase across multiple platforms. • Performance Optimization: Identifying bottlenecks within the browser engine and optimizing C/C++ code for maximum efficiency and minimal resource footprint.

🎯 Requirements

• C/C++ Mastery: You have extensive experience writing high-performance, memory-safe code in C and C++. You understand the "why" behind the language, not just the "how." • Chromium Experience: You’ve spent significant time inside the Chromium project (or similar large-scale forks like Brave, Edge, or Electron). You are familiar with GN, Ninja, Blink, and V8. • Systems Intuition: You understand operating system internals (Linux/Windows/macOS), memory management, and multi-process architectures. • The "Rebase" Mental Strength: Experience managing complex Git workflows, specifically handling large-scale upstream merges and conflict resolutions. • Infrastructure Mindset: You don't just want to fix a bug; you want to build a test suite that ensures that bug never comes back. You’re comfortable with automated QA and deployment pipelines.

🏖️ Benefits

• Opportunity. We are at the forefront of developing a web-scale crawler and knowledge graph that improves access to public web data and extends the value of AI to the people. • Culture. We're a lean team with a high bar. We come to work not to be comfortable, but to find out what we're capable of and to do work that matters. We're not calling for people who keep things moving. We're calling for people who make everyone around them better. We prioritize low ego and high output. This is a fully remote team. • Compensation. You’ll receive a competitive salary, benefits and equity package.
