• Development & Architecture: Build and optimize scalable scrapers and systems for data collection and parsing in PHP.
• Operations & Monitoring: Ensure high availability in our scraping flows, monitor source changes, and build robust error handling.
• Integration Puzzle: Analyze network traffic, structure unorganized data, and manage complex requests and authentications.
• Data Integration: Clean, validate, and transform collected information from our scrapers for seamless storage in our databases.

Your Profile

You have a couple of years of experience in professional PHP development and are driven by technical challenges where performance, structure, and data quality are at the center.

• 4+ years of experience with modern PHP (8+) and working with complex data integrations or scraping.
• Good understanding of the HTTP protocol, REST/SOAP APIs, DOM structures, and analysis via DevTools.
• Experience with cURL, proxies, and custom request structures.
• Comfortable with SQL (e.g., MySQL/MariaDB) and version control in Git.
• Knowledge of queue systems (RabbitMQ/Redis), Docker, headless browsers (Puppeteer/Playwright), or asynchronous PHP is a plus.
• Good at Regex.
