Full-Stack Engineer | Web Crawling (m/f/d)

About the Job

We build and operate l arge-scale web crawling and extraction systems that turn unstructured, dynamic websites into clean, structured, and correct data. You'll own crawlers end-to-end: discovery, resilient fetching against real anti-bot defenses, and turning HTML/PDF into trustworthy structured output.

What you will do

• Build and scale  crawlers that handle dynamic, large-scale sites - and keep them running as those sites change and fight back.
• Stay ahead of  anti-bot measures: TLS/browser fingerprinting, proxies, session and rate-limit strategy, change detection.
• Turn raw HTML and PDF into clean,  correct structured data - including LLMassisted extraction - where silently-wrong output is worse than a crash.
• Design and operate pipelines for ingestion, deduplication, versioning, and enrichment.
• Ship and run containerized apps in the cloud, with CI/CD.
• Shape our technical architecture and engineering culture.

Our Tech Stack

Python, Docker, GCP (Cloud Run jobs) and Azure Blob, MongoDB. Go services and a React frontend on the periphery. You don't need all of it on day one, but you do need to ramp up fast

Your profile

• 3+ years of professional software development (5+ for the senior track).
• Strong Python - real production code, async.
• Hands-on web scraping at scale, including firsthand experience with anti-bot

defenses and the failure modes of large-scale collection.

• A data-correctness mindset - you care that extracted data is right, not just that the job finished.
• Docker + at least one major cloud (GCP, Azure, or AWS), Git, comfortable on the CLI.
• Clear communicator who works well in a small, fast-moving team.

Nice to have

• LLM-assisted extraction / working with LLMs, ML pipelines, or data labeling workflows.
• Go or Java/Spring Boot.
• Frontend (React) — or eagerness to pick it up.
• Terraform, Kubernetes, modern DevOps tooling.

Why us?

• A vibrant in-office culture in Munich with the option for up to 60 % work from home.
• Flexible working hours.
• 30 vacation days per year (including 4 “company rest days” over christmas).
• 30 days of "workation" per year, within the EU and selected countries.
• High autonomy and flat hierarchies.
• EGYM Wellpass for unlimited access to fitness courses and gyms.
• Udemy access for educational videos.
