Software Engineer (Edge - Networking & Fleet) - Remote
About the Role
At Zyte in the Information Technology space, Powering data-driven organizations with ethical, scalable web data extraction.
At Zyte, we're pioneering the next revolution in web data extraction, empowering businesses to focus on innovation. Companies often struggle with challenges like navigating dynamic web structures, countering anti-scraping measures, and ensuring data accuracy. We tackle these obstacles by providing best-in-class tools for seamless, reliable web data extraction. With over a decade of expertise, we've become the trusted solution for over 3,000 companies and a million developers, helping them achieve a competitive edge and drive sustainable growth. We are a diverse and enthusiastic team of data nerds, tech aficionados, and hackers. At Zyte, you'll join an inclusive community where everyone belongs. We thrive on collaborating with our smart, passionate teammates and customers to solve complex problems in data science and engineering. Join us and be part of the data revolution! About The Job: Reverse engineering is at the heart of how Zyte stays ahead in the banning war. We've cracked some of the hardest antibots on the web — but the ground shifts weekly: antibots ship new sensor formats overnight, obfuscation schemes mutate, and new fingerprinting surfaces appear faster than any team could chase by hand. This role is not about solving tickets one at a time. It's about building the tools, pipelines, and automation that let both engineers and AI agents solve them at scale. You will be the person who turns a reverse-engineering breakthrough into reusable tooling, who automates the investigation that used to take days into a readout that takes minutes, and who feeds the intelligence our AI systems learn from. You'll work at the intersection of deep JS/VM reverse engineering and modern AI-assisted engineering — using LLMs and agentic tooling aggressively to compress the loop between 'new detection surface discovered' and 'solution shipped.' If you're energized by wielding AI to multiply your own output, by automating away manual toil, and by working on problems where the adversary is smart and the target moves — this is the seat.
