Infatica.io is a global provider of proxy and DaaS solutions. We're building our own high-load web scraping platform: an API where you can submit any URL and receive clean HTML or structured JSON output, without worrying about proxies, CAPTCHAs, or anti-bot systems.
The platform will support both cloud deployment and on-premises deployment in client infrastructure (on-prem, Kubernetes).
We are now looking for an experienced Tech Engineer for our web scraping development team who will lead and drive architectural decisions, and shape the future of our cutting-edge scraping infrastructure.
