Job description

About us

We're building a product that relies heavily on collecting structured data from a number of known websites. We need someone experienced who can own this part of the system end-to-end; from writing scrapers to making sure they scale and stay reliable.

This is a senior role. We're looking for someone who has already dealt with the real-world problems of web scraping and can work independently.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain scrapers for 24-30 websites (starting with 6).
  • Handle authenticated sites, sessions, cookies, tokens, etc.
  • Work with search endpoints and dynamic content.
  • Architect the data ingestion pipeline, caching, retries, and queues.
  • Make the scrapers stable and resilient even as websites change.
  • Collaborate closely with our backend team to define and use APIs.
  • Handle scaling, rate limits, and performance.

What we're looking for (hard requirements)

  • 5 - 7+ years of building production-grade web scrapers
  • Strong experience with both API-based scraping and browser automation (Playwright / Puppeteer)
  • Familiarity with proxies / IP rotation and basic anti-bot handling
  • Comfortable with auth flows (cookies, sessions, tokens)
  • Ability to design pipelines : ingestion → clean → store → cache
  • Can work independently and own the scraper system end-to-end
  • Nice to have (not required)

  • Familiarity with Cloudflare's ecosystem.
  • Python, Node.js (TypeScipt only), or Go; any backend language is fine, TypeScript is preferred.
  • Who will do well here

  • You enjoy scrapers that work reliably, and predictably.
  • You think in terms of systems, not quick patches.
  • You can work remotely and manage your own time.
  • You appreciate straightforward communication and minimal bureaucracy.
  • Compensation

    Base : ₹3,00,000 - 4,00,000 per month (36 - 48 LPA). Equity / options are available if you choose to take a lower cash component.
