- Strong hands-on experience with Node.js/JavaScript or TypeScript.
- Experience with Playwright and/or Puppeteer for browser automation and web scraping.
- Experience handling anti-bot challenges: proxies, rate limiting, CAPTCHAs.
- Comfortable shipping at high velocity, multiple Actors per week, with a systems mindset rather than one-off scripts.
- Experience leading or mentoring 1-2 engineers, comfortable doing code review.
- Familiarity with Apify's native storage (Dataset, KeyValueStore, RequestQueue).
As Lead Full-Stack Engineer (Remote) you own Actor delivery for our client's Apify-based scraping product, and lead a team of two.
What you'll own
- Build and ship Apify Actors (structured-data scrapers) using the internal "Actor Factory" process: turn a target website into a production-ready Actor in under 24 hours.
- Build and maintain scrapers with Playwright, Puppeteer, and the Apify SDK across a catalog of 1,500+ production Actors.
- Own reliability: the team runs at a 99%+ success rate, and you're responsible for holding that bar as lead.
- Manage two engineers: review their Actor code, unblock scraping and anti-bot issues, and keep the team's shipping pace (13+ Actors/week) on track.
- Contribute to the Actor Factory system itself, not just individual Actors, improving the process the whole team ships through.
Here is what to expect after you apply
- You will get an email from Puente with a short online assessment and a quick grammar check.
- You will record three short video answers so we can see how you communicate.
- If it looks like a fit, our recruiter sets up an interview.
- Shortlisted candidates are introduced to the US client team for final interviews.
Competitive USD compensation paid monthly, 100% remote work from anywhere in Latin America, flexible schedule aligned to a US business day, paid time off, and direct exposure to the leadership of a fast-growing US-based talent platform.
