Senior Backend Engineer for Web Automation Team (Node.js) - Remote

Overview

Apify's mission is to make the web more programmable. We believe that humans have better things to do than filling forms, compiling huge Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watching thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo. Those are jobs for a machine. Web automation has profound impact. Our users automate service unsubscriptions to save people money, and they collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for AI training, protection of consumers, or finding lost children.

To support our mission, we're looking for talented and experienced engineers to help us build the next generation of the web, where machines talk to machines and humans do creative work that drives progress.

Join our talented Web Automation Engineering team and help us to move to the next level.
