Job description

Scraping Tech Lead Engineer (Web scraping & Anti-bot)

Infatica.io is a global provider of proxy and DaaS solutions. We're building our own high-load web scraping platform : an API where you can submit any URL and receive clean HTML or structured JSON output, without worrying about proxies, CAPTCHAs, or anti-bot systems. The platform supports both cloud deployment and on-premises deployment in client infrastructure (on-prem, Kubernetes).

Key Responsibilities

  • Architecture Design :
  • Data-plane : high-parallel crawler, session management, anti-bot bypass, CAPTCHA solver
  • Control-plane : API, authorization, billing, quotas, monitoring
  • Infrastructure : microservices, Docker / K8s, CI / CD, observability
  • Development Leadership :
  • Team building : participate in hiring backend, browser, DevOps, and QA engineers
  • Establish development and release processes
  • Code quality control and technical decision oversight
  • Anti-Bot Research & Bypass :
  • Browser and network-level fingerprinting (JA3, TLS, CDP)
  • Protection bypass : Cloudflare, Akamai, Qrator, ServicePipe, Variti, and others
  • DevOps / SRE :
  • CI / CD setup, Helm charts, scaling configuration
  • Monitoring organization (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) and SLA processes

Requirements

  • 5+ years of engineering experience in high-load backend / data platforms
  • Extensive scraping experience (mandatory)
  • Excellent understanding of HTTP, TLS, HTTP / 2, proxies, and browser stack (CDP, WebRTC)
  • Experience with async Python and Go (ideally both), Redis, queues, message brokers
  • Advanced level DevOps tools : Kubernetes, Helm, Prometheus, CI / CD
  • Experience analyzing and bypassing bot protection systems – strong plus
  • Fluent English (all documentation and part of the team are English-speaking)
  • Decision-making skills, mentoring abilities, and accountability for results
  • Benefits

  • Participate in developing the company's key product from scratch
  • High autonomy and influence on architecture and team decisions
  • Budget for conferences, courses, and work tools
  • Competitive compensation package
  • Remote work flexibility
  • Apply now and become the technical leader who shapes our platform's future!
