Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Chicago, IL

Own and patch Chromium/Firefox C++ source to build an in-house stealth browser. Fix fingerprinting at the engine level (navigator, WebGL, canvas, fonts, Client Hints), eliminate CDP leaks, maintain per-OS fingerprint profiles, continuously rebase patches, build validation tooling, and debug detection issues to keep automation indistinguishable from real users.

Ship real open-source integrations and MCP servers to bring SearchApi to agent and automation frameworks. Create PRs, example apps, docs, and integration guides. Stay current with the agent ecosystem, pick high-leverage targets, and work independently to deliver production-ready integrations.

Produce reproducible technical benchmarks and long-form content by coding tests, running and tracking measurements over time, testing no-code/agent tools, improving docs, and publishing data-backed comparisons that rank and convert. Use AI to accelerate work but verify every claim and provide code and datasets for reproducibility.

Host and run a developer-focused YouTube channel: script, build working demos using the SearchApi, film on-camera tutorials/shorts/webinars, edit or direct edits, and consistently publish technical content that places SearchApi in comparisons and best-of lists.

Lead and run engineering delivery end-to-end: own planning cadences, track projects, surface risks, command incident responses and run blameless RCAs, own delivery metrics, coach and grow engineers, run hiring pipeline, and enable the founder by removing operational load.

Design and implement developer-facing UI from Figma to production using Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) and ViewComponents. Own the dashboard, API playgrounds, docs, marketing site, and data visualization. Optimize performance and bundle size, maintain a coherent component system, and ship polished, production-ready front-end with tests and CI/CD.
