About Us:

Upscrape is a fast-growing data automation and web scraping company building advanced scraping systems, custom data pipelines, and API-driven solutions for enterprise clients. We work on complex real-world challenges that require precision, scale, and expertise. As we continue to grow, we are looking to bring on an experienced developer to join our core technical team.

Position Overview:

We are hiring a full-time Python developer with strong experience in web scraping, browser automation, and backend API development. The ideal candidate has previously built production-level scraping systems, understands anti-bot protections, and can independently manage end-to-end data extraction workflows.

This is a highly focused technical role, ideal for someone who enjoys solving real-world scraping challenges and working on meaningful projects that deliver immediate impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain robust web scraping pipelines for dynamic, heavily protected websites.
• Develop backend APIs to serve and manage scraped data.
• Handle browser-based scraping using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, or Puppeteer.
• Implement advanced proxy management, IP rotation, and anti-blocking mechanisms.
• Ensure efficient error handling, retries, and system stability at scale.
• Collaborate closely with the founder and technical team to deliver client projects on time.

Required Experience & Skills:

• 1+ years of

  hands-on scraping experience

  .
• Python (Playwright, Selenium, Requests, Async/Aiohttp, Scrapy, etc.).
• Experience bypassing anti-bot protections (Cloudflare, captchas, WAFs, bot detection).
• Proxy management at scale (residential, rotating proxies, IP pools).
• REST API development (Flask / FastAPI preferred).
• Database experience (MongoDB, PostgreSQL).
• Version control (Git), Docker, and Linux-based environments.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving ability.
• Clear, consistent communication.

Bonus (Nice to Have):

• Experience with AI-powered data enrichment (LLMs, OCR, GPT-4 integrations).
• Familiarity with large-scale scraping architectures (millions of records).
• Previous work in SaaS, APIs, or productized data services.

The Right Fit:

We are looking for a developer who is:

• Self-driven

  - takes full ownership of tasks.

• Technically strong

  - has delivered real-world scraping solutions.

• Highly responsive

  - available for fast-paced collaboration across time zones.

• Outcome-focused

  - understands that clean, working systems matter more than theory.

What We Offer:

• Remote full-time position.
• Stable long-term role with growth potential.
• Direct, efficient communication, no corporate bureaucracy.
• Work on meaningful projects with direct client impact.
• Competitive compensation based on skill and experience.

How to Apply (Important Filter):

In your application, please include:

1. Links or code samples of scraping projects you’ve built
2. Which tools and libraries you are most comfortable with
3. A short explanation of how you approach extracting data from modern, highly dynamic websites that require advanced automation and protection handling.
