Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager to oversee our large-scale scraping efforts—millions of requests per month, custom anti-blocking strategies, and multiple internal teams working in sync.

You’ll coordinate our anti-scraping R&D, developer execution, and client communication, keeping projects on track while being responsive to changing priorities.

We’re a startup at heart—this means we value curiosity, adaptability, and clear communication more than rigid processes.

Why Join Us?

• Join a stable, profitable company: Many years of healthy growth, no VC pressure.
  
• Work at real scale: Billions of requests per month across dozens of clients.
  
• 100% remote: Work from anywhere, with overlap during CET mornings.
  
• Be the glue: Coordinate across Dev, Anti-Blocking, and Client teams.
  
• Try new ideas: We welcome process improvements, new tools, and fresh thinking.
  
• Real impact: Your decisions will directly influence delivery speed, team velocity, and customer satisfaction.
  

What You’ll Do

• Drive Communication Across Teams: Ensure developers, anti-scraping researchers, and client-facing teams stay aligned.
  
• Own Project Delivery: Keep roadmaps up to date, unblock bottlenecks, and keep priorities visible and clear.
  
• Manage Budgets and Resources: Track expenses, coordinate tooling needs, and report on performance vs. budget.
  
• Support Stakeholders: Act as the primary point of contact for key clients and internal stakeholders.
  
• Build Rhythm: Create smooth sprint cycles, track timelines, and ensure high-priority tasks get executed first.
  
• Report Clearly: Use simple dashboards, weekly updates, and async check-ins to keep everyone in the loop.
  

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience as a Project Manager in a technical or software environment
  
• Strong communication and coordination skills—especially in a remote, async-first setup
  
• Comfortable managing a technical team (developers, researchers, data teams) even without a coding background
  
• Detail-oriented but flexible: able to adjust to changing priorities, urgent issues, and fast-moving timelines
  
• Bonus: Previous experience with scraping, dev tooling, or infrastructure projects
  
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher

Work Hours

• Your schedule must include Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with work time at least between 6am–12pm CET on working days.
  
• We welcome non-traditional schedules—as long as you’re consistent and available during core coordination windows.
