About the role
About Aside
Aside is an AI browser that gets real work done across the websites you already use. It uses your browser session to operate email, dashboards, internal tools, docs, and spreadsheets, and can keep working on tasks that take minutes or hours.
Its browser agent scores 99.0% on Mind2Web, 40% smarter than Claude Cowork with Opus 4.7. Aside runs local-first, with memory and data protected on the user’s device.
After our viral launch in June 2026, we reached 20K+ users and 3M+ views within two weeks. We’re backed by Y Combinator and angels including Dane Knecht of Cloudflare.
The Context
Aside currently lives where most work happens: the desktop browser. But you should not need to sit at your desk to start a task, check its progress, approve an action, or use the result. We need an engineer who can build this new surface from scratch and own it end to end.
The Role
You will build the Aside iOS app from the ground up. You’ll own the product experience, the architecture, the remote connection to a running browser session, and the systems that stream task updates and results back to the phone in real time.
You will:
- Build the core mobile product. Let users start tasks, follow progress, review or approve actions, and use the result from anywhere.
- Make remote sessions feel reliable. Design the networking, state synchronization, reconnection, notifications, and recovery paths required for long-running browser tasks.
- Use the full Apple platform. Explore widgets, Live Activities, App Intents, Shortcuts, share extensions, push notifications, and background execution wherever they make the product more useful.
- Craft a polished native experience. Make every interaction fast, clear, accessible, and at home on iOS.
