Founding Engineer Infra/Backend

Overview: Spur is every company’s AI QA Engineer.

New York City

Spur builds fundamental technology for the future of QA: autonomous browser agents that think, explore, validate, and self-heal like real users. We’re not another test tool — we’re reimagining how digital teams ship with confidence.

The market has responded loudly. Top brands (Alo Yoga, Living Spaces, HelloFresh, Nextdoor, Abercrombie & Fitch, and more) are actively pulling us in. Inbound demand is exploding. Sales cycles are fast. And the product actually delivers — teams go live in days, not months.

We’re a small, elite team of builders from DeepMind, Figma, ex-founders and customers — shipping at a pace that big companies can’t touch.

Our Mission: We want to help our customers deliver the best digital experiences
