Backend Engineer for Integrations team (Node.js/TypeScript)

Apify's mission is to make the web more programmable 💻.

Why?

We believe that humans have better things to do than fill in internet forms, compile Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watch thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo.

Those are jobs for machines.

And just as we have tools that make our lives easier in the real world, we should also have tools to make our lives easier on the web.

We use web automation to robotize unsubscribe flows to save people money, and we collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for science, market research, or finding lost children.

Fortune 500 companies and small startups alike need this power to make great business decisions 🚀.

We are seeking a Backend Engineer for our newly established Integrations team to help us scale and improve Apify’s connectivity with other platforms and the whole world.

To understand how customers integrate Apify, watch videos of users integrating Apify with platforms like Clay or Make. Integrations are key to enabling innovative use cases, expanding our reach, and establishing Apify as the #1 platform for web scraping and web automation.

Your mission at Apify:

• Design and implement backend services in Node.js/TypeScript to power our integrations with 3rd party platforms.
• Build and maintain APIs and webhooks to ensure connectivity with platforms like Zapier, IFTTT, and Make.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to define and deliver on integration requirements, ensuring a smooth user experience.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve bottlenecks or bugs to maintain high performance and responsiveness of backend services.
• Take ownership of writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code, while driving best practices in backend development.

You'll be a perfect match 💜➕💜 if you have:

• Technical background with experience in software development.
• Expertise in Node.js/TypeScript.
• Experience with Python is a plus, but not a requirement.
• Experience with building integration apps with integration platforms, particularly for platforms like Zapier, IFTTT, and Make.
• Solid knowledge of RESTful API design, microservices architecture, and asynchronous processing.
• A collaborative, experiment-driven mindset, especially for undefined projects.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
