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
If you’re excited by complexity, ownership, and building real systems — we’d love to talk.
