TypeScript Engineer, JS Agent

Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source. We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open-source project is FingerprintJS (27K stars on GitHub). We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle). We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored.

TypeScript Engineer, JS Agent

Know what really happens under the hood of a browser? Can you walk through the JavaScript event loop in your sleep? Do you understand the browser rendering pipeline better than most devs understand their own code? Have you ever built your own JavaScript framework just for fun? Love open source? Then you might be exactly who we’re looking for. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill TypeScript/JavaScript role. We’re not building landing pages or dashboards here. This is backend-level engineering that happens to run in the most hostile, performance-constrained environment there is: the browser. We’re hiring a TypeScript Engineer to own our browser-side JavaScript agent, CDN integrations, and performance-critical SDKs used by millions every day. You’ll be crafting tamper-resistant, lightning-fast code that survives in the wild—pushed to its limits by scale, security threats, and the quirks of every browser under the sun. If you want to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser, apply today! But first, check out our [*open-source projects*](https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs) to see if you can picture yourself here.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain our browser-side TypeScript/JavaScript agent used for device identification, bot detection, and risk assessment
• Engineer for stealth, resilience, and performance-minimizing footprint, resisting detection, and maintaining compatibility across browsers
• Stay ahead of browser changes, plugin behaviors, and fingerprinting techniques
• Collaborate with backend, security, and data science teams to align signal capture with detection logic
• Write comprehensive tests and contribute to CI pipelines that ensure functionality across a wide range of platforms and devices
• Contribute to a widely-used open-source project with 27K+ GitHub stars and 25B+ monthly usages
• Use native browser JavaScript APIs (we use ZERO third-party libraries in runtime)
• Push TypeScript and other tools to their limit

What You Bring:

• 3-5 years of JavaScript and TypeScript experience, especially in browser environments
• Experience building libraries or SDKs, especially for production or developer-facing use cases
• Strong frontend experience (~80%), with backend familiarity (~20%)
• Deep knowledge of browser JavaScript APIs
• Experience of writing asynchronous code with parallel execution
• General understanding of the HTTP protocol and web security
• Proficiency with build tools like Vite, Webpack, Rollup, Esbuild, including code obfuscation and minification
• Experience with modern testing frameworks such as Vitest, Jasmine, Jest, or similar
• Familiarity with security principles, privacy best practices, and adversarial engineering
• Comfortable working in fast-paced environments without rigid specifications
• Strong sense of ownership and autonomy; you enjoy working independently and solving hard technical problems
• Clear written and verbal communication skills in English

Nice to Have:

• Experience in complex domains like media, gamedev, or security, or on technically demanding browser projects (e.g. Google Docs, Figma, Miro, or 3D browser games)
• Contributions to open-source projects especially in JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem
• Historical record of open source contributions
