YipitData is hiring a Web Scraping Engineer

About the Role

Join a team focused on extracting and delivering high-value web data at scale. As a Web Scraping Engineer, you'll design and maintain robust systems that gather critical information from diverse online sources. Your work will directly support data-driven insights used across industries.

What You'll Do

  • Refactor and enhance existing scrapers to improve stability, performance, and long-term maintainability
  • Apply clean coding standards and modular design principles to ensure code quality and team collaboration
  • Implement advanced evasion techniques, including browser fingerprint manipulation, header randomization, and proxy rotation
  • Extract data from dynamic websites using tools that render JavaScript and manage complex user interactions
  • Collaborate with analysts to define data needs, validate outputs, and refine collection strategies
  • Monitor scraper health with alerting systems and respond quickly to outages or performance drops
  • Diagnose and resolve issues related to session management, cookies, and request patterns
  • Research and recommend new tools, frameworks, and methods to improve data collection efficiency
  • Stay ahead of evolving anti-bot technologies by tracking changes in website defenses

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience with tools like Selenium, Playwright, or Puppeteer for automated browser interaction
  • Solid understanding of HTTP protocols, REST APIs, HTML parsing, and secure communication (TLS/SSL)
  • Hands-on expertise managing proxy networks, including residential and data center providers
  • Experience configuring cookies, headers, and session lifecycles to mimic real user behavior
  • Strong debugging skills to identify and fix performance bottlenecks in large-scale scraping environments
  • Ability to document systems clearly and communicate technical concepts to non-technical colleagues
  • Familiarity with logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions to maintain system reliability

Environment & Culture

This is a fully remote role based in India, with core hours from 11am to 8pm IST—flexibility is supported. You'll work in a culture that values ownership, transparency, and continuous learning. Growth is tied to impact, not tenure, and you'll have the autonomy to develop your skills and influence technical direction.

We prioritize respect, trust, and inclusion. Our team is committed to equal opportunity and welcomes individuals of all backgrounds. Benefits include competitive pay, comprehensive coverage, learning support, parental leave, and time off to recharge.
