About the job
Apify builds tools that let people and organizations automate online tasks, extract web data, and use AI agents to get more done. The company believes that repetitive digital work, like filling out forms, copying data, or searching for visual details, should be handled by machines so people can focus on more meaningful problems.
Web automation helps users in practical ways: some automate unsubscribing from services to save money, others collect large datasets for AI training, consumer protection, or even tracking missing children. Apify also supports AI chatbots with relevant data and explores new ways to connect with generative AI platforms.
To keep advancing this mission, Apify is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer focused on proxy infrastructure and unblocking. This role is based in Prague.
What You Will Do
- Design and build bots that imitate real user actions to automate online processes.
- Work closely with a small, skilled team of developers.
- Improve Apify Proxy and related backend technologies.
About the Role
As anti-bot systems evolve, Apify needs to keep its scraping infrastructure ahead of the curve. This engineer will strengthen Apify Proxy, research anti-scraping defenses, and create internal tools using browser fingerprinting, human-like interaction patterns, and session management to keep data flowing smoothly.
The team values engineers who enjoy solving tough technical problems and want to contribute to open-source proxy libraries.
