Senior Platform Engineer

This role is part of our ScraperAPI team, one of our growing brands at saas.group. ScraperAPI is an enterprise-scale web scraping solution, trusted by businesses across a wide range of industries to extract crucial data at scale. From e-commerce, travel to real estate and market research, we support companies in turning the web into actionable insights. We're currently on an exciting growth journey, scaling rapidly as demand for reliable, high-performance web scraping and data keeps rising. Profile Overview We are seeking a talented Senior Platform Engineer to join our focused engineering team. We're building a product that handles billions of requests per month for businesses that depend on it. Web data is increasingly central to how companies make decisions, and our infrastructure is what makes accessing it seamless and reliable at scale. You won't be following someone else's roadmap, you'll be building it. Your immediate impact in the first 3-6 months will be:

• Explore and assess the infrastructure architecture, collecting risks and opportunities that need to be addressed
• Build and maintain a platform roadmap based on your findings, prioritising the work that matters most
• Support the consolidation of two infrastructure stacks into a unified platform, helping shape how the migration happens
• Help the engineering team increase its maturity around AI usage and standardise development environment tooling and processes

Your responsibilities

• Own the platform roadmap: identify what needs to be fixed, what needs to be built, and drive it forward. This is not a ticket-following role
• Lead cost management efforts across our infrastructure, including proxy costs which are among our highest expenses. Identify optimisation opportunities and implement them without compromising performance or security
• Ensure the reliability, scalability and performance of our infrastructure through robust monitoring, alerting and disaster recovery strategie
