Software Engineer
About the job
ProxyScrape empowers businesses with seamless, scalable, and ethical access to publicly available web data. Our proxy and data-access infrastructure supports thousands of companies across eCommerce, cybersecurity, research, and advertising — delivering reliability, performance, and global scale.
We are a fast-growing, bootstrapped, and profitable tech company built around speed, automation, and impact. We move quickly, ship often, and value people who take ownership and push things forward.
We are now looking for a Software Engineer to join our Dev/Product team — a hands-on engineer with real experience in proxy and scraping systems who enjoys building, shipping, and owning production infrastructure.
You’ll work on the core of our products, from backend services and data pipelines to frontend and infrastructure.
Your Mission
You will build, scale, and improve the systems behind ProxyScrape’s core products, turning technical challenges into reliable, fast, and cost-efficient solutions.
- Design and implement features and services across core products and internal systems
- Contribute to architecture discussions and technical decisions
- Identify repetitive, manual, or error-prone processes and automate them, using AI-assisted tools where it makes sense
- Help the team ship faster through better tooling and systems
- Work closely with product and engineering to turn business needs into working software
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and data pipelines with Go and PHP
- Develop frontend features with React and Next.js
- Work on scraping and proxy infrastructure: improve success rates, latency, reliability, and cost
- (Optional) Work on anti-bot systems, including fingerprinting and protection bypass strategies, to make the platform more resilient
- Take part in deployments, CI/CD, and monitoring alongside the team
- Write clean, tested, well-documented code and take part in code reviews
What You Bring
Proxy & Scraping Experience
- Around 2 years of hands-on production experience with proxy systems and web scraping
- Experience building and operating proxy-based or scraping infrastructure
- Practical understanding of IP rotation strategies, session persistence, fingerprinting, CAPTCHA/bot mitigation, and unblock flows
- Experience improving success rates, latency, reliability, and cost in data extraction pipelines
Technical Foundation
- 3+ years of engineering experience building backend or data platforms
- Strong hands-on experience with Go/PHP
- Frontend skills with React and Next.js
- Experience designing, building, and integrating APIs
- Experience with Redis, queues, and message brokers
- Comfortable working with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools
- Comfortable working in Linux production environments
- Good understanding of HTTP, TLS, HTTP/2, proxies, browser internals, and CDP
- Familiarity with networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP) and request optimization
- Fluent English (documentation and communication are in English)
Mindset
- You thrive in fast-moving startups where ambiguity is normal and execution matters more than process
- You take ownership of your work, from design to delivery and quality
- You make sound decisions on your own and proactively improve systems
- Product-driven mindset: you care about user impact and business value, not just elegant code
- You spot risks and bottlenecks early and act on them
- Curious and practical about AI tools that make development faster
Why Join ProxyScrape
- Work on core products from the ground up
- High autonomy and real influence on the technical solutions you build
- Work directly with the CTO and a strong scraping lead
- Competitive compensation package
- Remote-first flexibility
- Budget for conferences, learning, and work tools
- Join a lean, ambitious team where execution beats bureaucracy
