Job details

Web Automation Engineer (Anti-Scraping)

Apify's mission is to make the web more programmable.

Why?

We believe that humans have better things to do than filling forms, compiling huge Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watching thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo.

Those are jobs for a machine.

And just as in the real world we have tools that make our lives easier, we should have tools to make our lives easier on the web.

Web automation has profound impact. Our users automate service unsubscriptions to save people money, and they collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for AI training, protection of consumers, or finding lost children.

What you’ll be working on?

  • To automate human activities on the web and proceed with our mission, we need robots that behave and act like real users, and this is where we need your help!

  • You will be part of one of our 5 product teams—the team that works on Apify’s open-source tooling loved by the community.

  • The team is led by Martin Adamek, co-author, and maintainer of Apify’s Crawlee and his own MikroORM framework.

  • You will research existing anti-scraping services and implement new open-source libraries or internal services to overcome them by utilizing various proxy services, browser fingerprinting methods, human-like browser interaction, session management, and others.

Our tech stack

  • Frontend: React.js, styled-components, Storybook, Cypress

  • Backend: TypeScript/Node.js, Next.js, Express.js, Docusaurus, Jest

  • Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, Helm, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, S3, GitHub Actions

  • Monitoring: New Relic, LogDNA, Sentry, PagerDuty

  • Tools: GitHub, ZenHub, Notion, GSuite

  • Process: two-week sprints, code reviews, tests, automating whatever we can, deploying multiple times per day

They say there are no perfect candidates, but you might be the one if you have:

  • 3+ years of industry experience with Node.js/TypeScript or Python (if you are open to learning TypeScript too)

  • Prior experience in web scraping or web automation

  • Ability to solve unique, unprecedented challenges

  • Understanding of how the web works, from HTTP protocol up to modern browser APIs to draw an SVG

  • Experience in open-source development is a plus

  • Experiment-driven and collaborative mindset

  • Good communication skills in English

Why should you work at Apify?

  • Space, support, and autonomy for personal growth, with a direct impact on our success

  • Full-time position in Prague (Lucerna Palace) or Brno (Titanium) 🏰

  • Option to work remotely 🛋️

  • Flexible working hours (perfect for both night owls 🦉 and early birds 🐥)

  • Nobody counts holidays as long as the work gets done 💪

  • Stock options and profit sharing 💰

  • We welcome pets, kids, and bikes at the office 🐕👨‍👧🚲

  • Epic team buildings and offsites 🚢 with biking, canoeing, and other adventures 🪂

  • Solid education and training budget, conference tickets, internal “Eat & Learn” sessions, and the possibility to work across teams 👩🏼‍💻👨🏽‍💻

  • Generous hardware budget 💻

  • Free lunches every day when you’re in the office 🌮🍱🍜🍕🥡

  • Unlimited supply of ☕ & 🍺 and snacks

  • Free entry to the wonderful Prague Zoo 🐘

  • Free Multisport card 🏋

  • Ping-pong, chess, PS5, lightsabers, foosball league after lunch.
