Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Apify's mission is to make the web more programmable.

Why?

We believe that humans have better things to do than filling forms, compiling huge Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watching thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo.

Those are jobs for a machine.

And just as in the real world we have tools that make our lives easier, we should have tools to make our lives easier on the web.

Web automation has profound impact. Our users automate service unsubscriptions to save people money, and they collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for AI training, protection of consumers, or finding lost children.

To support our mission, we’re looking for a talented Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help us build and maintain our scalable cloud architecture, optimize system performance, and improve the developer experience that powers Apify’s web automation platform.

What you’ll be working on?

Your role will be working on improving our core infrastructure, identifying bottlenecks, doing experiments, and implementing new ways of increasing system performance, as well as developer efficiency.

Apify is built for developers by developers. We use the Apify platform ourselves every day, and put great pride in making it better for everyone. We’re big advocates of open source and publish everything that we can on GitHub (PRs are welcome 😉).

Our tech stack

• Frontend: React.js, styled-components, Storybook, Cypress

• Backend: TypeScript/Node.js, Next.js, Express.js, Docusaurus, Jest

• Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, Helm, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, S3, GitHub Actions

• Monitoring: New Relic, LogDNA, Sentry, PagerDuty

• Tools: GitHub, ZenHub, Notion, GSuite

• Process: two-week sprints, code reviews, tests, automating whatever we can, deploying multiple times per day

They say there are no perfect candidates, but you might be the one if you have:

• Experience with Linux and networking

• A track record building infrastructures on AWS

• Experience with container technologies, specifically Docker and Kubernetes

• You’re familiar with some observability stack - Prometheus/Grafana is a great combination

• Strong focus on infrastructure as code - we have a lot of CloudFormation, Terraform, and other YAML files

• Drive and passion for automating repetitive tasks

• You're a self-starter who genuinely enjoys improving development pipelines and making infrastructure more efficient.
