Senior Software Engineer

About the Position

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our ScraperAPI team, part of saas.group, one of our growing brands. ScraperAPI is an enterprise-scale web scraping solution trusted by businesses across various industries. We're on an exciting growth journey, scaling rapidly as demand for reliable, high-performance web scraping and data extraction rises.

Responsibilities

• Analyze how specific anti-bot and bot-mitigation systems detect and block us, and design systems to work around them.
• Turn isolated breakthroughs into durable, repeatable processes: hypothesis, test, discard what's wrong, move on.
• In collaboration with other senior team members, design and build a greenfield agentic environment that can propose and run tests on anti-bot behavior and bypass approaches, and do it in a way that's well understood and repeatable.
• Work largely independently on deep, concentrated problems, while actively pulling in knowledge from across the wider engineering team.
• Communicate clearly what you plan to do, and step into major incidents when the team needs your depth.

Requirements

• Core Skills:
  • Deep understanding of HTTP, TLS, fingerprinting, proxies, headers, cookies, and browser behavior.
  • Strong hands-on skills in Node.js and TypeScript with solid Python.
  • Comfort across backend systems at scale (Postgres, Redis/Valkey, MongoDB, Puppeteer/Camoufox, Kubernetes).
  • Real skill at directing AI coding agents with precision.
• Preferred Background:
  • Scraping, anti-bot, or web-security work, reverse engineering, or a research or academic path where you built your own tooling and lived by the scientific method.

Nice to Have

• Experience with directing AI coding agents like Claude, Codex, or similar.

We Offer

• Ultimate flexibility: 100% remote work.
• Freedom and autonomy: High-trust team with minimal bureaucracy.
• Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
• Flexible time off: Recharge your batteries when needed.
