About Us
At Zyte, we eat data for breakfast and you can eat your breakfast anywhere and work for Zyte. Founded in 2010, we are a globally distributed team of over 250 Zytans working from over 28 countries who are on a mission to enable our customers to extract the data they need to continue to innovate and grow their businesses. We believe that all businesses deserve a smooth pathway to data use.
For more than a decade, Zyte has led the way in building powerful, easy-to-use tools to collect, format, and deliver web data quickly, dependably, and at scale. And today, the data we extract helps thousands of organizations make smarter business decisions, secure competitive advantage, and drive sustainable growth. Today, over 2,000 companies and 1 million developers rely on our tools and services to get the data they need from the web.

You’re a natural bridge between technology and people—a communicator who thrives on making complex topics clear, exciting, and accessible. You have a genuine passion for empowering developers, backed by hands-on technical expertise and a curiosity that keeps you experimenting with new tools, frameworks, and ideas.

You believe in community as more than just a buzzword—it’s about fostering connections, listening with intent, and inspiring others to build.
As a Developer Advocate at Zyte, you’ll champion our web scraping and data extraction tools to developers around the world, shaping how they learn, adopt, and innovate with our technology. You’ll create projects, stories, and resources that highlight the power of Zyte API and Scrapy, connecting with our audience across events, social channels, and developer communities. You’ll work closely with product and marketing teams, bringing community insights back into our roadmap, while amplifying the voices of developers who use our tools. Your work will make a tangible impact—growing awareness, deepening trust, and helping Zyte define the Web Scraping API category
