About Lightpanda

Lightpanda is building a headless web browser from scratch, tailor-made for machine usage.

Our mission is to redefine web interaction by enabling AI agents, large-scale scraping, and automated workflows to run faster, smarter, and more efficiently, without the constraints of legacy browsers.

We're an ambitious team with a strong open-source foundation, led by experienced founders with a successful startup exit history, and we're now funded.

You'd be joining our team at an early stage, with equity incentives that reflect that.
