Web Automation Engineer (Anti-Scraping)

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

Why? Because we believe that humans have better things to do than fill in internet forms, compile Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watch thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo. Those are jobs for a machine. And just as we have tools that make our lives easier in the real world, we should also have tools to make our lives easier on the web.

We use web automation to robotize unsubscribe flows to save people money, and we collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for science, market research, or finding lost children.

Fortune 500 companies and small startups alike need this power to make great business decisions 🚀.

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.
