Senior Software Engineer (Node.js)

I run Scrape Creators, a fast-growing social media scraping API company. It’s just me right now. You’d be engineer #2.

We move fast. We ship fast. We break things sometimes. We fix them faster.

If you need bureaucracy, Jira tickets for every breath, and five layers of approval… this isn’t for you.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain high-performance scraping systems (mostly API reverse engineering, not browser automation)

• Work heavily in Node.js / JavaScript

• Debug production issues quickly and independently

• Monitor systems and keep things running (you’ll be in the opposite time zone from me)

• Optimize reliability, performance, and scalability

• Ship features directly to production (yes, sometimes we push directly to master)

Ideal Background

• Strong Node.js / backend engineering experience

• Experience scraping or reverse engineering APIs (huge plus)

• Comfortable working without heavy oversight

• Clear communicator (async-first environment)

• Self-directed and decisive

• Comfortable with ambiguity

• Embraces AI tooling (you should be using AI constantly to move faster)

You don’t need Puppeteer/Selenium experience. In fact, it's a huge plus if you don’t use those and instead reverse engineer APIs.

How We Work

• Small team (literally 2 people)

• No bureaucracy

• Daily standups, otherwise async

• High ownership, high autonomy

• Move fast and fix later

• If you crush your priorities, your schedule is flexible

Culture Fit

You:

• Take ownership

• Don’t wait to be told what to do

• Care about performance

• Like shipping

Me:

• Founder

• Technical

• Direct

• AI-maximalist

• Value speed over ceremony

Perks

• Fully remote

• Flexible hours

• Flexible vacation (just communicate)

• Chill environment if you handle your responsibilities
