About the Role

We’re looking for a senior engineer to join our lean team and take ownership of the core of our large-scale scraping engine powering over 1 billion requests each month. You’ll play a critical role in shaping our technology, tackling complex challenges across browser automation, distributed systems, proxy infrastructure, and performance optimization.

This role is for someone who thrives in autonomy, prefers building over meetings, and enjoys diving deep into tough technical problems that only show up at scale.

🚫 What This Role Is Not

Although we’re a web scraping company, this is not a data extraction job.

We’re not looking for developers who only write ad-hoc scrapers using requests and BeautifulSoup.

Instead, this role is about building and scaling the infrastructure that powers scraping at massive scale. That means working on Python internals, concurrency, distributed systems, and performance engineering, not writing and maintaining scripts to fetch pages, extract data.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and optimize our Python-based distributed scraping engine
• Profile, debug, and resolve elusive performance bottlenecks and production-only bugs
• Develop new product features and ensure the engine runs reliably under heavy load
• Collaborate across backend, DevOps, and tooling as needed—wearing multiple hats when required
• Improve overall code quality with testing, documentation, and refactoring initiatives
• Share your expertise, mentor teammates, and contribute to raising our engineering bar
• Participate in hiring and help grow the team with like-minded engineers

What Makes You a Good Fit

• You care deeply about engineering and would rather spend your time coding than sitting in meetings
