Senior Backend Engineer for developer platform

Apify's mission is to help anyone get more value from the web with automation, AI agents, and web scraping.

Why?

We believe that humans have better things to do than filling forms, compiling huge Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watching thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo.

Those are jobs for machines.

And just as in the real world we have tools that make our lives easier, we should have tools to make our lives easier on the web.

Web automation has a profound impact. Our users automate service unsubscriptions https://www.rocketmoney.com/feature/manage-subscriptions to save people money, and they collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for AI training https://blog.apify.com/intercom-customer-support-ai-chatbot-web-scraping/, protection of consumers https://blog.apify.com/how-web-scraping-ai-and-the-eu-have-come-together-to-sweep-away-fake-discounts-in-europe/, or finding lost children https://apify.com/success-stories/fighting-child-traffickers-with-technology. We give AI chatbots https://blog.apify.com/intercom-customer-support-ai-chatbot-web-scraping/ the context to interact intelligently, and we’re developing novel ways to work with generative AI like ChatGPT https://blog.apify.com/add-custom-actions-to-your-gpts/.

WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON?

- As our company and team grow, so does the load on our infrastructure. We are looking for talented Backend Engineers to help us with our core web scraping and automation infrastructure built on AWS.

- You'll work in a small cross-functional team with other experienced hackers.

- You'll be creating new features and also solving complex scalability challenges.

- Apify is built for developers by developers. We’re using the Apify platform ourselves every day, and put great pride in making it better for ourselves too. We are big advocates of open source and publish everything that we can on GitHub https://github.com/apify (PRs are welcome 😉).
