Overview

String is building the most comprehensive and robust platform for extracting and structuring web data.

Customers ranging from the world’s largest hedge funds to seed-stage AI startups use us to pull 30M+ rows of structured web data per week. We’re hiring to meet increasing demand.

We’ve done all this with a lean, ambitious team, and we recently closed a seed round from leading VCs and angels in the data as a service (DaaS) space to further accelerate growth.

We’re currently looking to hire a talented scraping engineer to help fill the gaps in our agents that build scripts and fix issues with our existing scripts. You would be an embedded part of our team and learn from world class engineers building a high growth AI startup. We run hundreds of web extraction scripts daily scraping millions of pages. Our stack consists of Node.js, Typescript, Puppeteer, RabbitMQ, Redis, and GCP.

Requirements:

1. 1+ years web scraping experience
2. 1+ years experience with Typescript, Node.js, and SQL
3. 8+ hours per day availability and overlap to meet during US hours
4. Willingness to work in a fast paced startup environment - meaning comfort with ambiguity, bias towards action and a constant focus on efficiency.

Bonus

1. RabbitMQ (or similar), grpc, Redis, git, bash, BigQuery
2. Google Cloud Platform experience (or other cloud experience)
