About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage data infrastructure startup, working directly with the CTO to build core systems for extracting, analyzing, and visualizing web data at scale. You'll own large, meaningful pieces of the product — from autonomous agents to distributed backend services — powering enterprise customers who depend on structured, real-world web data every day.
What You'll Do
-
Build autonomous agents that tackle real-world information extraction problems across diverse and unpredictable web environments.
-
Design and iterate on a full-stack, self-serve application that makes complex workflows intuitive for non-technical users.
-
Maintain and scale backend architecture to reliably handle thousands of requests per second and tens of millions of rows of data daily.
-
Contribute across the entire stack — infrastructure as code, ML pipelines, website updates, and whatever else moves the team forward fastest.
What We're Looking For
-
5+ years of professional experience shipping production software, or equivalent demonstrated skill in a 0→1 environment.
-
Proven track record launching meaningful products on small, early-stage teams with rapid iteration cycles.
-
Hands-on experience building LLM applications and agentic systems — including RAG, agent workflows, model evaluation, and fine-tuning.
-
Strong command of distributed systems design, including scaling tradeoffs for high-throughput, data-intensive workloads.
-
Full-stack capability spanning backend, frontend, and infrastructure-as-code.
-
Experience building user-facing, self-serve products with a focus on usability for non-technical audiences.
-
Deep domain knowledge in one or more of: antibot systems, reverse engineering, JavaScript deobfuscation, or browser automation.
-
Familiarity with web scraping, data extraction, or web automation at scale is a strong plus.
-
Bias toward action, comfort with ambiguity, and genuine enthusiasm for early-stage startup pace and ownership.
