Job description

🌍 About us

We’re a company with a startup soul operating in the proxy and web scraping industry for 9+ years. We move fast, we experiment, and we’re not afraid to change course when something’s not working. Pivoting isn’t a failure for us — it’s how we grow and learn.

Collaboration and adaptability are part of our everyday rhythm. If you thrive in environments that are dynamic, collaborative, and open to change, this might just be your place.

This role is not about maintaining scrapers for simple, high-traffic sites. It’s about engineering creative, outside-the-box solutions to extract data from the most sophisticated websites on the internet at a massive scale. Think millions of requests per hour, with dynamic challenges like advanced browser fingerprinting and evolving detection systems.

🚀 Who are we seeking?

We’re looking for a Senior Web Scraping Developer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving complex, often messy problems. You’ll join our talented engineering team of 7 (Team Lead, 2 developers, 1 QA, 2 DevOps, Head of Engineering).

🌟 About the Project

As we continue to grow, web data extraction remains a core part of our product offering. In this role, your primary focus will be on researching and designing scalable solutions for scraping the most challenging websites. Once an effective approach is identified, you’ll develop and optimize robust scrapers, integrate them into our systems, and ensure data collection remains efficient, adaptable, and resilient against evolving detection mechanisms.

✨ Why Join Us?

  • Competitive Compensation

  • Fully Remote & Flexible Hours

  • Stable (9+ years) and constantly growing company

  • Work on high-impact projects with significant, global customers

⚡️ Our Hiring Process - It’s fast and simple!

  1. Fill out the Questionnaire & submit your CV in English, after that you’ll have a chat (60m) with our HR team: Marlena & Ivana
  2. Tech & Culture interview (60-90m): Meet the Head of Engineering & VP of Tech to discuss your experience, technical expertise, and cultural fit
  3. Meeting with CEO (30-60m) & Offer: If we’re a match, we’ll extend an offer and welcome you to the team!

💡 How Can You Help Us?

As a Senior Web Scraping Developer, you will:

  • Design and build scalable scraping solutions for high-traffic environments
  • Build web automation solutions for collecting publicly available data, including fingerprinting, CAPTCHAs, and rate limiting.
  • Optimize and integrate scraping solutions with our backend systems.
  • Work with proxy management to improve scraping success rates.
  • Enhance the performance and resilience of data extraction pipelines.
  • Collaborate daily with the team through stand-ups, ad-hoc problem-solving sessions, and asynchronous communication to design and deliver scalable, reliable scraping solutions.

🎯 What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of strong JavaScript experience in browser environments, including skills in building extensions, intercepting events, and advanced DOM manipulation.
  • 3+ years of experience with Python for scraping.
  • 2+ years of experience with mobile application reverse engineering.
  • Experience in web scraping, including working with Puppeteer, Playwright, or similar tools.
  • Understanding of detection mechanisms such as fingerprinting and rate limiting.
  • Experience with proxy rotation and session management to improve scraping success rates.
  • Experience with Node.js in backend development is a plus
  • Problem-solving mindset and ability to think outside the box.
  • English - communicative level (B2) is a must.
  • You are located in the Central European Time (CET) zone or nearby.

🛠️ Our Tech Stack

  • Python
  • JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Vue.js
  • MySQL/PostgreSQL
