This role is part of our ScraperAPI team, one of our growing brands at saas.group.
ScraperAPI is an enterprise scale web scraping tool that handles proxies, browsers, and CAPTCHAs, so you can get the HTML from any web page with a simple API call. ScraperAPI is part of Saas.group LLC which was founded in 2017 with a simple goal in mind: to help small companies reach their full potential. We looked at what made private equity firms and other common routes so maddening, and worked backward, simplifying every step.
Profile Overview
We’re looking for new members to join our small and focused engineering team to build the next generation of web scraping tools together. We’re building a world where data collection is a breeze and where publicly available data is at anyone’s doorstep - should you be a marketplace looking for competitor information or an SEO agency collecting search engine data for your customers. The role offers challenges that will keep your brain busy, a chance to work on a large scale product that customers can rely on, a modern tech stack and a great team where people learn from each other.
Our Tech Stack: NodeJS, TypeScript, Python, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
By the end of your first 6 months with us:
- we would expect you to have developed a reasonable level of understanding of our tech stack, codebase and our CI and CD practices;
- we would expect you to have successfully completed multiple minor bug fixes or feature enhancements; and
- We would expect you to have successfully delivered at least one major feature enhancement.
Your responsibilities
In your new role you will be responsible for helping to build, maintain and improve our ability to fetch and transform data for our customers, which is vital to our current and future service offerings.
- You will also be responsible for helping to maintain and further develop a large transactional SaaS API and related components that handle tens of thousands of requests every second.
As your role progresses and develops, you will also be responsible for helping to build out our other new service offerings.
What You bring to the table
- Solid background with large scale SAAS applications (tens of thousands of API calls every second)
- Deep understanding of HTTP and related protocols, headers, proxies, cookies, TLS, etc
- Interest in data - fetch, parse data and make it structured for our customers; all these in a scalable, automated way
- Experience with Node.js and TypeScript - we are not looking for a specialized developer, but we also don’t want to start from scratch
- Focus on developing for our customers, not for the sake of just releasing things
What’s in it for You
- Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
- Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of independence to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
- Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable. We work in a loose agile process because we don't need to remind ourselves what we need to do.
- Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
- Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning and expertise with each other internally.
- Unlimited paid time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
ScraperAPI is part of saas.group and we have a shared goal of succeeding together.
