If you're not sure you fit but you're a strong problem solver, apply anyway.\r\nAbout SearchAPI\r\nSearchAPI is a real-time SERP API delivering structured data from 100+ search engines and sources, including Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Jobs, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and many more. We power production workloads for Fortune 500 companies and fast-moving startups who need reliable search data at scale. We're a lean, profitable, bootstrapped team. No VC pressure, no bloat. Just engineers shipping real products to real customers.\r\nWhy Join Us\r\nReal Impact: Small team, massive scale. Your code runs in production serving billions of requests, powering tools you've probably used.\r\n100+ APIs: Google, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and growing.\r\nOpen Source First: LangChain, HayStack, Flowise, LangFlow, Dify integrations.\r\nFortune 500 Customers: Our API powers production workloads, not just pilots and experiments.\r\nBootstrapped and Profitable: We answer to customers, not investors.\r\nSearchAPI Values\r\nWe do everything the Rails Way. If you don't like DHH's style, this may not be the place for you.\r\nWe embrace the one-person framework.\r\nWe hire Managers of One. We trust you to figure it out.\r\nOpen Source contributor.\r\nRemote-only. Async-first. Results-driven.\r\nTransparency. No politics.\r\nTech Stack\r\nRuby on Rails 8.1\r\nRuby 3.4\r\nHotwire (Stimulus.JS + Turbo)\r\nTailwindCSS (TailwindUI components)\r\nPostgreSQL\r\nRedis\r\nSidekiq\r\nTerraform + AWS\r\nWe use Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Intercom, GitHub, Chrome Developer Tools, and Slack daily. We ship multiple times a day with CI/CD.\r\nWhat You'll Do\r\nFix broken parsers under time pressure.\r\nAdd new elements to existing search engines.\r\nBuild and ship new search engine integrations.\r\nReverse engineer website protections and anti-bot systems.\r\nDebug browser automation issues (CDP, fingerprinting, evasion).\r\nCreate and improve documentation pages.\r\nDevelop landing pages and admin dashboard features.\r\nReview PRs and help test.\r\nTalk to customers directly. Help them figure things out, brainstorm solutions, identify what's missing. Learn the APIs and websites we scrape yourself so you can actually help.\r\nRotate on customer support. Everyone does it, including senior engineers.\r\nProactively update customers on progress and ship what they need.\r\nSenior Engineer Responsibilities\r\nImprove browser automation and debug performance at scale.\r\nOptimize concurrency: fibers, ractors, threads.\r\nHandle complex challenges: TLS fingerprinting, JA3, WebRTC, CDP internals.\r\nImprove API monitoring: logging, real-time analytics, anomaly detection.\r\nArchitect and build new systems from scratch.\r\nLead technical decisions and mentor engineers.\r\nHard Parts\r\nThings break without warning. Search engines change layouts, anti-bot systems evolve, proxies fail. You'll debug production issues under pressure.\r\nNo hand-holding. We don't assign tasks or write detailed specs. You identify problems and fix them.\r\nCustomer-facing. You'll rotate on support. You'll talk to customers. You'll ship what they need and tell them when it's done.\r\nSmall team, big scope. There's no one to hand things off to. You own it end-to-end.\r\nWritten communication is everything. Remote-first means if you can't write clearly, you'll struggle.\r\nFast pace. We ship daily. We expect results, not activity.\r\nAbout You\r\nGrinder. You don't wait for instructions. You find work that matters and do it.\r\nResults-driven. You ship. You measure. You iterate.\r\nGreat writer. Code, PRs, docs, customer messages. Writing is thinking.\r\nStrong work ethic. Startup pace. We work hard because that's how you win against incumbents.\r\nSpecialist with range. We need depth in hard technical areas: CDP, anti-bot, concurrency, browser internals. You can collaborate across the stack, but you go deep where it matters.\r\nPassionate about Ruby & Ruby on Rails.\r\nDeep knowledge of web fundamentals: HTTP, TLS, CSS selectors, XPath, JavaScript.\r\nExperience with browser automation, scraping, and data extraction.\r\nFluent in English, written and spoken.\r\nBSc or higher in CS or equivalent technical field. We're building developer tools, strong technical foundations matter.\r\nWe're Especially Looking For\r\nCDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) specialists.\r\nAnti-bot and evasion experts (Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, PerimeterX).\r\nConcurrency experts: fibers, ractors, threads in Ruby.\r\nBrowser automation engineers (Puppeteer, Playwright internals).\r\nNetwork debugging (Wireshark, Burp Suite, Proxyman).\r\nTLS/JA3/WebRTC fingerprinting experience.\r\nInfrastructure: Terraform, AWS/ECS, Prometheus, Grafana.\r\nExperience at scale: billions of requests.\r\nWhat Makes a Strong Application\r\nSpecific examples, not generic claims. Mention projects, technical challenges, tools you've used. If it looks copy-pasted, we won't read it.\r\nSignals We Look For\r\nStuff you personally built and shipped, not team achievements. CDP, anti-bot, or browser automation expertise. Web scraping and reverse engineering.\r\nTechnical articles or blog posts.\r\nCompetitive programming.\r\nNotable academic achievements.\r\nHigh chess or strategy game rating.\r\nMeaningful open-source contributions.\r\nInclude Octopus Tentacle in your application so we know you read this.
