Senior Web Scraping Engineer

Senior Web Scraping Engineer (Up to ₱250K | Remote | Night Shift | FREE AI Certification)

Remote | Night Shift | 12:00 AM–9:00 AM | Tuesday - Saturday

You own the end-to-end reliability of a large-scale web data acquisition pipeline processing tens of millions of scrapes per month. You are responsible for maintaining system uptime, reducing failures, and building resilient infrastructure that bypasses sophisticated anti-bot protections and authentication walls.

We are looking for the "missing piece" in our client's engineering team—a specialist who genuinely enjoys the technical challenge of extracting large-scale data and navigating sophisticated bot protections. You will be the go-to expert who ensures our operations run smoothly, allowing the rest of the team to focus on core product features. You don’t just wait for things to break; you proactively suggest and implement improvements to stay ahead of an ever-changing web landscape.

YOU’RE LIKELY A STRONG FIT IF YOU HAVE

• 5+ years of software development experience with significant exposure to web scraping or data acquisition at scale.
• Deep Scraping Expertise: Proficiency with headless browsers, CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol), proxy management, and CAPTCHA mitigation.
• Anti-Bot Evasion: Proven experience handling authenticated sessions and navigating complex anti-bot strategies.
• Observability Skills: Experience building and maintaining monitoring, alerting, and observability systems for production infrastructure.
• Technical Agility: Ability to pick up new languages quickly; while the core codebase is Ruby, we value the ability to work across diverse tools and libraries.
• Structural Constraints: Proven reliability working a fixed night shift (12:00 AM–9:00 AM) in a 100% remote capacity.

STRONG SIGNALS

• A "Scraping Enthusiast": Someone who truly wants to do this type of work on a regular basis and stays on top of best practices.
• Proactive Ownership: A mindset that looks at operations and suggests better ways to build, rather than just waiting for tasks.
• Resilience: The ability to handle "firefighting" days with urgency while using "quiet" days to experiment with new technologies and tackle the backlog.

RESPONSIBILITY PILLARS

Infrastructure Reliability & Uptime You own the heartbeat of the data acquisition pipeline—ensuring tens of millions of pages are scraped successfully.

• Monitor scraping and API success rates to identify and resolve issues before they cascade.
• Respond to system outages with urgency, diagnosing root causes and deploying fixes.
• Build better alerting and redundancies to reduce manual intervention over time.

Platform Evolution & Research You ensure the scraping infrastructure stays ahead of an ever-changing web landscape.

• Evaluate and experiment with new scraping technologies and anti-bot evasion libraries.
• Proactively improve data retrieval resilience, including handling unique authentication wall challenges.
• Build dashboards and tooling to provide clear visibility into system health and performance.

Architectural Collaboration & Ownership You operate as a technical lead for the data acquisition mission.

• Collaborate with the senior team on major architectural decisions.
• Exercise autonomy to move fast on day-to-day improvements without constant supervision.
• Communicate technical failures and status updates clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
