Job Description:

What We're Building

We're building a fast, intelligent web scraping platform powered by AI agents. Our in-house infrastructure manages everything - from crawling and scraping to data extraction and automation - so developers, researchers, and businesses can focus on using data, not maintaining complex tools.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a technical co-founder who is interested in what we are trying to build and how we are building it.

A product-minded engineer who not only writes code but also thinks deeply about user flows, UX, system design, and developer experience. You're driven to build tools that other developers love to use.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have ever built or launched something: a side project, a startup, or just something people loved.
• Use (or are curious about) modern stacks: Golang, Python, Nuxt.js (Vue), CloudFlare, etc.
• Have 3+ years of experience (or an equivalent skill level).
• Are comfortable working independently in a startup environment.
• Bonus: experience with web scraping, AI tooling, B2B SaaS.

What to Expect Joining Early

We’re in the pre-seed stage and currently bootstrapping, so this role begins with equity only. As we grow and raise funding, compensation will follow. This is an opportunity to join early and have a real stake in shaping the product, company, and culture.
