Associate Web Scraping Engineer (Golang Focus) – Student / Graduate

Role Overview

At Scrape.do, we build and operate large-scale web scraping infrastructure targeting some of the most protected domains on the internet. Our entire core system backbone is written in Go and runs under high-traffic and high-cost constraints.

This role is designed for senior university students or recent graduates who want to specialize in production-grade scraping systems, traffic engineering, and cost optimization at scale.

This is not a ticket-based support role. You will work directly on real production flows, analyze real blocking patterns, and help optimize real infrastructure costs. Our goal is not temporary fixes. Our goal is a long-term, scalable, cost-efficient scraping architecture.

You will be mentored by experienced scraping engineers while contributing directly to systems that process millions of requests per day.

Responsibilities

Assist in analyzing and resolving scraping-related production issues

Debug request flows, including headers, cookies, proxies, TLS, fingerprinting, and browser behavior

Work directly with Golang-based services within our scraping pipeline

Optimize request flows to reduce cost per successful request

Investigate block patterns, CAPTCHA challenges, WAF challenges, and rate-limiting mechanisms

Build small Go utilities or diagnostic scripts to reproduce and isolate issues

Contribute to improving traffic efficiency, retry logic, and resource consumption

Support customers with technically accurate integration guidance

Collaborate closely with senior engineers on domain-specific optimizations

Document findings and contribute to internal engineering knowledge

Requirements

Final-year university student or recent graduate in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related fields

Strong foundation in Golang (this is mandatory)

Working knowledge of JavaScript for browser automation and debugging

Solid understanding of HTTP/HTTPS, request lifecycle, and networking fundamentals

Basic understanding of proxy systems and traffic routing

Hands-on experience with at least one scraping project (academic, personal, or internship)

Ability to read, understand, and modify Go-based production code

Strong analytical thinking and structured debugging approach

Clear written technical communication in English

Ownership mindset and strong willingness to learn in high-pressure environments

Nice to Have

Experience with CDP, Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium

Familiarity with Cloudflare, Datadome, Akamai, or other WAF systems

Experience profiling Go applications and optimizing performance

Basic understanding of concurrency patterns in Golang

Exposure to distributed systems or high-throughput services

Familiarity with logging pipelines, observability, or performance metrics

What This Role Offers

Direct exposure to high-traffic, high-cost production scraping systems

Hands-on experience optimizing cost per request at scale

Deep specialization in Golang-based scraping architecture

Real ownership from day one in production, debugging, and optimization

Clear growth path toward Web Scraping Engineer, Traffic Engineer, or Infrastructure Engineer

A technically demanding environment focused on efficiency and long-term system stability

Positioning

We are looking for someone who wants to master Golang in real-world scraping systems, understand traffic at scale, and continuously optimize performance under cost constraints. If you want to work where scraping is treated as an engineering discipline rather than a scripting task, this role is designed for you.
