Lead Full-Stack Engineer

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.

• 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).
