We're building and scaling a real-time SERP API that handles billions of requests, and we need a skilled Ruby Engineer to help us tackle complex scraping and automation challenges. This is a remote, full-stack role where engineers own features from start to finish—debugging under pressure, integrating new search engines, and directly supporting users.
What You’ll Do
- Diagnose and repair failing scrapers quickly and efficiently.
- Expand existing search engine parsers and build integrations for new ones.
- Reverse engineer anti-bot protections used by major platforms.
- Debug issues in browser automation, including CDP, fingerprinting, and evasion techniques.
- Improve internal tools, documentation, and admin interfaces.
- Collaborate on code reviews and testing efforts.
- Engage directly with customers to troubleshoot, gather feedback, and identify gaps.
- Rotate through customer support, ensuring high-quality responses and timely resolutions.
- Proactively communicate updates and deliver solutions users actually need.
For Senior Engineers
- Lead performance optimization in browser automation at scale.
- Design and implement concurrent systems using fibers, ractors, and threads.
- Solve advanced networking problems involving TLS, JA3, WebRTC, and CDP internals.
- Enhance monitoring with detailed logging, real-time analytics, and anomaly detection.
- Architect new systems from the ground up.
- Guide technical direction and mentor junior engineers.
- Shape future roadmap based on deep product and user understanding.
What We’re Looking For
- Deep proficiency in Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
- Solid grasp of web protocols: HTTP, TLS, CSS selectors, XPath, and JavaScript.
- Hands-on experience with scraping, browser automation, and data extraction.
- Fluency in written and spoken English.
- Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
- Self-driven mindset—you don’t wait for tasks, you find what needs doing and do it.
- Focus on results: you ship code, measure impact, and iterate quickly.
- Clear written communication across code, documentation, PRs, and customer messages.
- Strong work ethic suited to fast-moving startup environments.
- Technical depth in areas like CDP, anti-bot systems, concurrency, or browser internals, with the ability to work across the stack.
Nice to Have
- Expertise in Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP).
- Experience bypassing protections from Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, or PerimeterX.
- Skill with concurrency models in Ruby: fibers, ractors, threads.
- Familiarity with Puppeteer or Playwright internals.
- Proficiency in network debugging using Wireshark, Burp Suite, or Proxyman.
- Background in TLS, JA3, or WebRTC fingerprinting.
- Infrastructure experience with Terraform, AWS/ECS, Prometheus, or Grafana.
- Track record working at scale—handling billions of requests.
