String (https://www.usestring.ai/) | Founding Engineer | ONSITE - NYC, SF | $170k-220k salary + equity and benefits | Will sponsor any visa

Collecting data from the web is painful with custom scripts everywhere, Cloudflare roadblocks, and pricey infrastructure.

I’m Rohit, the CEO at String, where we are building the first scraping platform that just works. In the last two years, with a small team of five, we have:

- Acquired dozens of enterprise customers generating 7 figures of ARR

- Built infra to reliably scrape 30M+ pages per week

- Raised a seed round from leading VCs/angels in the space while being cash flow positive

Our engineering culture emphasizes speed, ownership, and autonomy. We are building at the forefront of scraping and AI and would love to meet if this sounds interesting to you.

Actually super impressive what you guys have done, based on my limited exposure to web scraping. Team must be cracked

Would you be open to candidates with lesser experience?

Yes, we are! Please apply via the link.

We're building the first end to end web scraping platform powered by AI. We help businesses collect web data without the hassle of maintaining code, infra, and anti-bot evasions.

We're a small team of four that recently raised a seed round from leading VCs and angels to keep up with revenue growth. We ship fast and have signed up several enterprise customers including the largest hedge funds in the world in less than a year. This is an opportunity to join at the ground floor of a product that will be used by thousands of enterprises.

I'm Rohit, one of the founders - if interested, apply here (https://string-ai.notion.site) and mention this post.
