This senior engineering role builds repeatable technical methods for diagnosing bot-detection systems and improving an enterprise web-scraping platform. The engineer will investigate HTTP, TLS, browser-fingerprinting, proxy, cookie, and browser-behaviour signals, then turn findings into reliable testing systems. Core development work uses Node.js, TypeScript, Python, distributed backend services, browser automation, databases, and Kubernetes. The position is remote within Europe and requires independent ownership, rigorous experimentation, incident support, and clear communication with a senior engineering team. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 4/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThe role tackles sophisticated, adversarial technical problems involving web protocols, browser behaviour, bot mitigation, and reverse-engineering-style investigation.

I would form isolated hypotheses, change one meaningful variable at a time, record results, and use the evidence to identify the most likely detection signals before proposing a durable mitigation. How would you design a repeatable environment for testing anti-bot behaviour? I would build a controlled test harness with versioned browser and network configurations, reproducible proxy selection, structured request and response telemetry, and experiment definitions that state hypotheses and expected outcomes. The system should run comparable test matrices, preserve artifacts, and produce reports that make results reviewable by other engineers. What factors can contribute to a browser or HTTP client fingerprint? Signals may include TLS and HTTP/2 characteristics, header ordering and consistency, IP and proxy reputation, cookies, JavaScript-exposed browser properties, rendering behaviour, locale and timezone consistency, request timing, navigation sequences, and storage state. The key is to assess combinations of signals rather than assume one field alone explains blocking. How do you use AI coding agents effectively on complex engineering work? I provide constrained tasks, relevant architecture context, acceptance criteria, and examples of expected output. I validate generated code through review, tests, security considerations, and runtime evidence, treating the agent as an accelerator rather than an authority on design or correctness. Describe how you would communicate during a high-impact incident involving widespread customer scraping failures. I would quickly state the observed impact, scope, current hypothesis, owner, and next verification step in a concise incident channel. I would provide time-boxed updates as evidence changes, avoid overstating uncertain conclusions, coordinate mitigations, and document the root cause and follow-up actions after recovery.

ScraperAPI is an enterprise-scale web scraping solution, trusted by businesses across a wide range of industries to extract crucial data at scale. From e-commerce, travel to real estate and market research, we support companies in turning the web into actionable insights. We’re currently on an exciting growth journey, scaling rapidly as demand for reliable, high-performance web scraping and data keeps rising. ### Profile Overview This is the hard end of web scraping. The sites we rely on, Google, Amazon, Walmart and many others, actively work to block us, and they change the rules without warning. We’re looking for a senior engineer who can go deep on why we’re being blocked, work out how the detection actually functions, and design repeatable ways around it. You’ll be joining a self-driven, high-autonomy team to take on our most involved problems, with the room and the trust to build something from close to a blank page: an environment that turns one-off breakthroughs into a methodical, repeatable way of defeating anti-bot systems. If you like confronting problems that genuinely resist you, and you work methodically rather than by trial and error, this is an unusually open brief. ### Your immediate impact in the first 3-6 months will be: * Getting a full local environment running and becoming fluent in our systems and how they operate, in the first few weeks. * Contributing to a proposal on the design for a repeatable environment we can pose anti-bot problems to and get reliable analysis out of. * Building that environment out over the following months so that, by month six, we can point it at a target or provider and have it reliably tell us how we’re being blocked and what is and isn’t being used against us. ### Your responsibilities * Analyse how specific anti-bot and bot-mitigation systems (the likes of DataDome, Cloudflare Turnstile, Kasada, PerimeterX and Akamai) 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 behaviour 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. ### What you bring to the table * Deep, genuine understanding of how the internet works underneath: HTTP, TLS and fingerprinting, proxies, headers, cookies, and browser behaviour. This is the core of the role and it isn’t something we can shortcut. * Excellent problem-solving built on a scientific, methodical approach: you form a hypothesis, design a test, read the result honestly, and iterate. Trying things at random is the opposite of what this role needs. * Strong hands-on skills in our stack, Node.js and TypeScript with solid Python, and comfort across backend systems at scale (Postgres, Redis/Valkey, MongoDB, Puppeteer/Camoufox, Kubernetes). * Real skill at directing AI coding agents with precision, and the judgement to tell strong output from weak. The specific tool doesn’t matter (Claude, Codex or similar); knowing how to steer it well is what counts. * A background that has given you this kind of depth and rigour. That might be 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. Direct scraping experience is a strong plus rather than a strict requirement. * Independence and strong communication: you’re comfortable owning hard problems in a remote-first team with little hand-holding, and you keep the team in the loop on your thinking as you go. ### 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 flexibility 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. * 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. * Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
