Job Description

Key Responsibilities- Software Engineering & Web Scraping Leadership:

• Architect, develop, and maintain scalable and distributed web scraping systems using Node.js
• Design and implement data extraction pipelines to process large volumes of structured and unstructured data.
• Develop solutions to bypass anti-bot mechanisms, including CAPTCHA handling, session management, fingerprinting, and IP rotation
• Optimize scraping processes for performance, reliability, and efficiency while managing proxy services(residential, datacenter, rotating).Oversee data storage and processing strategies, ensuring high availability and consistency.
• Collaborate with Product, DevOps, and Data Science teams to integrate extracted data into analytics and business applications.
• Implement best practices for microservices, API integrations, and real-time data streaming

Key Responsibilities- Scalability, Security & DevOps:

• Lead the transition to cloud-native, containerized, and serverless architectures for web scraping.
• Ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards (robots.txt, GDPR, CCPA, etc.).Optimize cloud resources (AWS, GCP, or Azure) to support high-throughput scraping.
• Manage real-time monitoring and alerting systems to detect scraping failures, IP bans, or performance bottlenecks
• Work closely with DevOps teams to optimize CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and system scalability

Key Repsonsibilities- Engineering Team Management & Strategy:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performance engineering team
• Define and execute the technology roadmap, aligning with business objectives.
