You ship real integrations and pull requests into the open-source ecosystem: the libraries, agent frameworks, and automation tools developers reach for every day. This is distribution through contribution, not a logo wall. Real PRs in other people's repos, not a list of names.\nAbout SearchApi\nSearchApi is a real-time SERP API delivering structured data from 100+ search engines and sources, including Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Jobs, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and many more. We power production workloads for Fortune 500 companies, AI startups, and developers who need reliable search data at scale.\nWe're a lean, profitable, bootstrapped team. No VC pressure, no bloat. Just people shipping real products to real customers.\nWhy Join Us?\nYour work ships to everyone. A merged PR in a popular framework puts SearchApi in front of thousands of developers at once.\n\nBuild in the open. You contribute to real open-source projects, with your name on the commits.\n\nAI-native company. Our customers are AI builders. You work at the center of the agent and automation ecosystem.\n\nReal impact. A small team means the integrations you ship move adoption directly.\n\nBootstrapped and Profitable. We answer to customers, not investors.\n\nTech Stack\nRuby, Python, and TypeScript/Node for integrations\n\nAgent and RAG frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI\n\nMCP servers and tools\n\nAutomation platforms: n8n, Make, ActivePieces, Zapier\n\nThe wider agent and workflow ecosystem (n8n, OpenClaw, Hermes, skills, AI workflows)\n\nGitHub and CI, used daily\n\nAI and Automation Are Non-Negotiable\nOur customers are AI companies, and this role lives in their world. You need to genuinely care about AI tooling and be obsessed with automation. If you're doing the same thing twice by hand, you should be automating it. You use these tools daily, not from a tutorial.\nWhat You'll Do\nShip merged PRs. Add and improve SearchApi support in the frameworks and repos developers actually use.\n\nBuild integrations and MCP servers. Make it trivial for a developer or an agent to pull search data into their stack.\n\nWrite the glue and the docs. Example apps, integration guides, and quickstarts that just work.\n\nStay genuinely current. Track what's new and hot in the agent and automation space, and move when it matters.\n\nFind the gaps. Spot where developers and agents need search data and put us there first.\n\nYou pick the targets. We don't hand you a backlog. You decide which integrations have the most leverage and go ship them.\nThe Hard Parts\nThis role is not for everyone. Here's what makes it hard:\nYou contribute to repos you don't own. That means maintainer review cycles, code standards that aren't yours, and patience.\n\nThe ecosystem moves weekly. What's hot today is legacy in six months. You have to keep up for real.\n\nLeverage over breadth. A hundred low-value integrations are worth less than three that matter. Choosing is the hard part.\n\nBroad and self-directed. Some days you decide what to work on from a blank page.\n\nIf you want a narrow, well-defined backlog, this isn't for you.\nAbout You\nYou ship open source. You have merged PRs in repos you don't own, not just personal side projects.\n\nGenuinely current. You can talk about what changed in the agent ecosystem this month and why it matters.\n\nFluent across the stack. Comfortable in Ruby, Python, or TypeScript, and at least one agent or automation framework.\n\nGood writer. Integration docs, PR descriptions, examples. Clear and human.\n\nSelf-directed. You don't need someone to tell you what to build.\n\nFluent in English, written and spoken.\n\nRequired experience:\nMerged open-source contributions in repos you don't own.\n\nAn integration, library, or MCP server you shipped that other people use.\n\nWe're especially looking for:\nYou maintain a popular open-source tool or integration.\n\nYou've built and published an MCP server.\n\nDeep hands-on experience with n8n, LangChain, or a similar framework.\n\nWhat We Look For\nWhat makes a strong application:\nDrop links to two or three merged PRs you authored in repos you don't own. One line each on what merging it unlocked. Merged beats opened. Repos you don't own beat your own side projects.\nSignals we look for:\nA maintained open-source project. An MCP server others use. Integration docs you wrote. Evidence you live in this ecosystem.\nInclude \"Octopus Tentacle\" in your application so we know you read this. [redacted]\n Get to know each other.\n\nTake-home challenge. Ship a small, real integration.\n\nFollow-up call. Walk through your approach.\n\nReference check + Offer\n\nWhat You Get\nFully Remote. Work from anywhere.\n\nEquity share. Own a piece of what you're building.\n\nProfit sharing. When we win, you win.\n\nLearn from the founder. Understand how a real SaaS business grows.\n\nAnnual team retreats (last one in Spain).","description_format":"text","description_chars":4959,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Japan","iso":"JP","kind":"country"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Argentina","iso":"AR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Brazil","iso":"BR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"},{"name":"Colombia","iso":null,"kind":"country"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Cyprus","iso":"CY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Egypt","iso":"EG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"country"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Kazakhstan","iso":"KZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Malaysia","iso":"MY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"},{"name":"New Zealand","iso":"NZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Norway","iso":"NO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Philippines","iso":"PH","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Serbia","iso":"RS","kind":"country"},{"name":"South Africa","iso":"ZA","kind":"country"},{"name":"South Korea","iso":"KR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"country"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Taiwan","iso":"TW","kind":"country"},{"name":"Turkey","iso":"TR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Vietnam","iso":"VN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Albania","iso":"AL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Chile","iso":"CL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Costa Rica","iso":"CR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Georgia","iso":"GE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Iceland","iso":"IS","kind":"country"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"country"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Moldova","iso":"MD","kind":"country"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"country"},{"name":"Uruguay","iso":"UY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Hong Kong","iso":"HK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Luxembourg City","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Web Scraping & Proxy Networks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T14:59:42Z"}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.333,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":95,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["conf:14","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/searchapi-ai-integrations-engineer-open-source-web-search","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/searchapi-ai-integrations-engineer-open-source-web-search.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T02:10:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1947,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3053,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
