The Browser Company·about 1 month ago
Hi, we're The Browser Company 👋 and we're building a better way to use the internet.
Browsers are unique in that they are one of the only pieces of software that you share with your parents as well as your kids. Which makes sense, they're our doorway to the most important things — through them we socialize with loved ones, work on our passion projects, and explore our curiosities. But on their own, they don’t actually do a whole lot, they’re kind of just there. They don’t help us organize our messy lives or make it easier to compose our ideas. We believe that the browser could do so much more — it can empower and support the amazing things we do on the internet. That’s why we’re building one: a browser that can help us grow, create, and stay curious.
To accomplish this lofty task, we’re building a diverse team of people from different backgrounds and experiences. This isn’t optional, it’s crucial to our mission, as we need a wide range of perspectives to challenge our assumptions and shape our browser through a bold, creative lens. With that in mind, we especially encourage women, people of color, and others from historically marginalized groups to apply.
At The Browser Company, we're building Dia, an AI-native browser. Getting Dia to Windows meant building something most people assumed wasn't possible: a production-grade Swift toolchain that runs beyond Apple platforms. This team built it, and it's the reason Dia on Windows exists.
We sit on the Swift core team, support Swift on Windows and Android, and companies are already reaching out to build with our tools. The technical foundation is extraordinary, and we need someone to help us drive it forward.
As a Technical Program Manager on the Toolchain team, your first priority is keeping Dia moving. You'll make sure the cross-platform Swift infrastructure stays ahead of what Dia needs. You'll also own the Apple relationship, run Swift core team meetings, and grow the platform's reach. More companies building on it means more contributions flowing back and a stronger foundation for everything we ship.
Externally, you're the person developers and partners reach out to when they want to build with Swift beyond Apple platforms. Internally, you turn a large backlog and a brilliant technical vision into shipped outcomes on a predictable cadence.
You'll report to the CTO and work directly with the technical lead who's driven this work for many years.
Keep Dia unblocked
Own the operational cadence for the Toolchain team. Work with the technical lead to shape a rich pipeline of ideas into concrete plans on 2-3 month horizons.
Stand up the right rituals and tracking so the team ships predictably without bureaucratic drag.
Be the connective tissue between Toolchain and the Dia on Windows team. When Dia needs a compiler fix, a runtime improvement, or a new capability, you make sure it doesn't stall.
Own the Apple relationship
Run Swift core team meetings. Keep them focused and drive follow-ups.
Route issues directly to the right Apple engineers, skipping management layers when possible.
Manage quarterly Apple syncs with structure and continuity.
Grow the platform to strengthen Dia's foundation
Be the front door for Swift adoption outside Apple platforms. Onboard companies, field questions, and build relationships that go somewhere.
Spot partnership and adoption moments and act on them fast. Deepen existing relationships and cultivate new ones. Every company building on cross-platform Swift is a potential contributor back to the infrastructure Dia depends on.
Build demos, write blog posts, run events. Make cross-platform Swift tangible: real working things people can try, not marketing slides.
Show up where developers are stuck. Find what's painful for the community and help fix it.
5+ years of experience in technical program management, developer relations, developer-facing product work, or a comparable blend of these. Non-traditional backgrounds welcome; we care about what you've shipped, not where your career started.
Technical fluency. You don't need to be a compiler expert, but you can follow a conversation about debug info, runtime components, and toolchain architecture and ask the right questions.
Organizational follow-through. You can wrangle a large backlog into something structured and trackable. Things don't fall through cracks on your watch.
Initiative on partnerships. You have a track record of spotting opportunities and acting on them without being asked.
You thrive in a high-trust, high-ambiguity environment: you seek feedback, but you don't need hand-holding.
Nice to Have
Evangelism that's intrinsic. This role builds cross-platform Swift's public presence from scratch. You write blog posts and build demos because you find real value in getting the right ideas in front of the right people.
Direct experience navigating large platform vendor relationships.
Experience with compiler toolchains, language runtimes, or low-level systems work.
Open-source community leadership: maintaining projects, building contributor communities, running events.
Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes base salary, equity, and benefits. The annual salary range for this role is $225,000 - $275,000 USD. The actual salary offered will vary based on experience level and interview performance.
Benefits: We offer a wide range of perks and benefits designed to support you, your family, and help you engage with your local community.
Location: We're a remote-friendly company and can hire in any country where we have a legal entity. If you live in New York (or want to visit), you're welcome to work from our beautiful office in Williamsburg.
The Browser Company is an ambitious team of close to 100 people (and growing!) who are passionate about building great products. We are a remote-first, distributed team, with the option to work from office in Brooklyn, New York. We strongly support diversity and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
