At Zyte, we eat data for breakfast and you can eat your breakfast anywhere and work for Zyte. Founded in 2010, we are a globally distributed team of over 250 Zytans working from over 28 countries who are on a mission to enable our customers to extract the data they need to continue to innovate and grow their businesses. We believe that all businesses deserve a smooth pathway to data.

For more than a decade, Zyte has led the way in building powerful, easy-to-use tools to collect, format, and deliver web data, quickly, dependably, and at scale. And today, the data we extract helps thousands of organisations make smarter business decisions, secure competitive advantage, and drive sustainable growth. Today, over 3,000 companies and 1 million developers rely on our tools and services to get the data they need from the web.

Are you interested in building web crawlers harnessing the Zyte platform, which powers crawls of over 3 billion pages a month?

Do you like working in a company with a strong open source foundation?

Zyte is looking for Software Engineers to join our Delivery team to work on web crawler development with Scrapy, our flagship, open source project.

Job Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and maintain Scrapy web crawlers.
• Leverage the Zyte platform and our open source projects to perform distributed information extraction, retrieval and data processing
• Identify and resolve performance and scalability issues with distributed crawling at scale
• Help identify, debug and fix problems with open source projects, including Scrapy

Zyte's platform and Delivery offerings have been growing tremendously over the past couple of years but there are a lot of big projects waiting in the pipeline, and in this role you would be a key part of that process.
