Senior Software Engineer (EMEA) Born out of the heart of the Basque Country in Bilbao, ZenRows is one of the fastest-growing startups in Europe! We work 100% remotely and believe in hiring the best people, no matter where you are in the world!    Founded in 2021, our mission is to transform the future of data workflows by enabling seamless, large-scale data extraction from the web. With our powerful tools, businesses can automate data collection at scale while leveraging the most advanced anti-bot bypass system on the market. Thousands of companies worldwide—across industries like e-commerce, real estate, finance, and AI—rely on ZenRows to streamline their data pipelines, fueling automation, analytics, and AI-driven insights   As we continue our rapid expansion, we are now looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join us on a permanent basis and make an instant impact.  THE ROLE:  We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Stealth & Reverse Engineering team—the elite force responsible for making our headless browsers and traffic completely undetectable by modern anti-bot systems. You will own and evolve our custom fork of Chromium, continuously identifying and patching all behavioral and fingerprinting vectors that reveal automation. You'll go deep into browser internals, reverse engineer anti-bot defenses, and create a fully cloaked browsing experience across real-world targets. You’ll also build internal tools that detect, analyze, and resolve JavaScript-based bot challenges (like fingerprinting, integrity checks, proof-of-work, and obfuscation traps), and help automate evasions across our infrastructure. This is a deeply technical, adversarial, and high-leverage role at the heart of what makes our scraping infrastructure world-class. We’re a remote-first company with a fast-paced, high-impact culture. In this role, you’ll work closely with our CEO, Aurken, and our Director of Engineering. And as a business with two technical founders who have strong engineering backgrounds—you must be comfortable engaging in technical discussions while balancing business needs. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 🧬 Browser Fingerprinting & Chromium Patching * Own and evolve our Chromium fork, maintaining full control over browser behavior and instrumentation. * Patch and neutralize browser fingerprinting surfaces: canvas, audio, WebGL, screen, navigator, user agent, and more. * Harden the browser against integrity checks (function.toString, error stack traces, memory layout, etc.). * Ensure parity with real users under advanced detection tools like FingerprintJS, Datadome, PerimeterX, and others. 🔬 Reverse Engineering & Challenge Automation * Analyze real-world JavaScript challenges and traps designed to detect bots. * Reverse engineer obfuscated payloads and evasive scripts using tools like Chrome DevTools, Frida, Wireshark, mitmproxy, etc. * Build internal tooling to automatically detect, triage, and solve bot challenges, integrating into our scraping runtime. * Develop detection signatures for new anti-bot mechanisms and continuously track vendor evolution. 🧰 Internal Tooling & Automation * Build robust internal libraries to spoof browser behavior, intercept and manipulate DOM/state, and bypass anti-bot logic. * Create automated pipelines that detect detection, trigger browser patches, or escalate to manual review. * Integrate JavaScript instrumentation and DOM mutation trackers to flag stealth issues before customers do. 📊 Observability, Resilience & Safety * Build internal dashboards to monitor fingerprint mismatches, challenge rates, JS errors, and detection spikes. * Proactively identify and mitigate stealth regressions caused by Chromium updates or vendor changes. * Help maintain and evolve our internal stealth testbed, simulating dozens of anti-bot vendor environments. 🧠 Technical Leadership & Deep Expertise * Be the team’s go-to expert in browser internals, bot detection evasion, and security-focused reverse engineering. * Mentor engineers in topics like V8 internals, JS fingerprinting, and browser automation stealth. * Help define our long-term strategy around browser-level evasion and undetectable scraping at scale. THE PERSON:  You’re the kind of engineer who doesn’t just use tools—you tear them apart to understand exactly how they work. You’re fluent in browser internals, and you treat anti-bot systems as adversaries to outsmart. You’re comfortable working in the gray areas of web security, JavaScript instrumentation, and reverse engineering. You love automation, can write clean low-level code, and know how to survive in hostile runtime environments. This role is for a rare breed of engineer who’s part hacker, part builder, and 100% obsessed with invisibility.

Staff Frontend Engineer

ZenRows

STAFF FRONTEND ENGINEER (EMEA) Born out of the heart of the Basque Country in Bilbao, ZenRows is one of the fastest-growing startups in Europe! We work 100% remotely and believe in hiring the best people, no matter where you are in the world!    Founded in 2021, our mission is to transform the future of data workflows by enabling seamless, large-scale data extraction from the web. With our powerful tools, businesses can automate data collection at scale while leveraging the most advanced anti-bot bypass system on the market. Thousands of companies worldwide - across industries like e-commerce, real estate, finance, and AI - rely on ZenRows to streamline their data pipelines, fueling automation, analytics, and AI-driven insights.   As we continue our rapid expansion, we are now looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer to join us on a permanent basis and make an instant impact.  THE ROLE: We're hiring a Staff Frontend Engineer to take product and technical ownership of our frontend: someone with a strong product mindset, a genuine AI-forward way of building, and the seniority to set the bar for how we ship. This is a frontend-specialist role first, working alongside dedicated Backend Engineers, but there's also room to contribute to and operate backend services/APIs with their support, if that's where your curiosity takes you. You'll work closely with our CEO, and our Director of Engineering.   WHAT YOU'LL DO   * Own features end-to-end — from framing the problem with Product to shipping and measuring impact, across onboarding, activation, dashboards, and billing/account UI. You're judged on outcomes, not tickets closed. * Build with an AI-first mindset — use tools like Claude Code, Copilot, or Cursor as core leverage, and go further: find where AI can improve the product itself (smart onboarding, AI-assisted setup, in-product guidance), prototype it, and advocate those ways of working across the team. * Instrument what you ship — event tracking and dashboards (Amplitude, Segment, BigQuery, PostHog), so every feature comes with a way to know if it worked. * Run experiments — A/B test and iterate on activation and conversion based on real usage data. * Collaborate widely — with Product, Marketing, Sales, Support, and the Backend Engineer(s); help shape API design, and pick up backend work with their support when it makes sense. * Set the technical bar — clean, well-tested React code, and mentor other engineers as the team grows.   WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * 8+ years of frontend/product engineering experience, with real Staff-level scope (technical leadership, not just tenure). * Deep React expertise and a strong design sensibility for polished UI. * A genuine product mindset — you can point to outcomes and metrics you've driven, not just features shipped. * Active, hands-on AI usage in your workflow, ideally with examples of pushing it into the product, not just your own productivity. * Experience with funnel analytics and instrumentation, and familiarity with A/B testing. * Comfortable working against APIs built by others, with the judgment to specify a good contract — and open to picking up backend/API work yourself when it's useful. * Confident communicator — clear with non-technical stakeholders, and unafraid to push back on technical founders when the data supports it.   WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT * Full ownership. You'll own systems end-to-end — design, deployment, and operations. No handoffs to an ops team, no waiting for someone else to ship your work * Direct impact. The systems you build directly affect customer SLAs, billing accuracy, and the core product success rate. You'll feel it * No layers. You'll work closely with our CEO and Director of Engineering — both technically deep — without three layers of management in between * No methodology theater. We skip the ceremony and give you a horizontal view of the problem. You decide where you can have the most impact   WHY YOU WILL LOVE WORKING HERE… * Our people crave ownership and opportunity over everything else. We offer responsibility and scope to do things in your role that you can only dream of in similar roles in larger companies. * We have a CEO who values world-class talent over everything else. Trust and respect are earned, and with them come reward and recognition like nowhere else. * In a world where it feels like everyone is being called back to being in an office, we operate a truly 100% remote approach that allows you to work from anywhere you choose. Forget Agile, Scrum, Lean... or whatever development methodology is trendy this week. We give you a horizontal view that enables you to identify where you think you can contribute the most.
