Anon is building the platform that enables enterprises to deploy authenticated AI agents for their most critical data workflows.
We're solving one of the biggest challenges in enterprise automation: accessing and transforming data trapped behind authentication barriers. Our platform allows AI agents to securely connect to any web-based system, extract unstructured data, and deliver it through modern APIs.
Since 2023, we've helped industry leaders transform weeks-long manual processes into automated workflows that complete in minutes. We've raised $14M from Union Square Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, Okta Ventures, and Abstract Ventures.
Our vision: every business system should be accessible to AI agents. If you're excited about building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of AI applications, join our team of 12 in San Francisco.
As a Backend Engineer at Anon, you'll build core infrastructure that powers authenticated AI agents for enterprise workflowsβfrom secure authentication systems that handle complex logins and MFA, to resilient web automation and data processing pipelines. You'll tackle technical challenges spanning distributed systems, real-time processing, and AI-powered automation while maintaining high reliability for systems processing millions of records.
