Role
Who you are
- The "Back-End First" Mindset: You are proficient in Golang. (Candidates with strong C/C++ experience who are ready to switch to Go are also encouraged to apply)
- Frontend Capability: You have professional experience with ReactJS and understand the logic of modern frontend frameworks
- Systems Thinking: You understand how a frontend (Chrome Extension) interacts with a complex backend. You don't just "fix bugs"; you think about the flow of data
- The "Plus" Factors: Previous experience with AWS and an interest in web scraping, browser automation, or cybersecurity
- Adaptability: You are comfortable working in a 100% remote team and are eager to learn new parts of the stack
What the job involves
- At Corsearch, we are dedicated to creating a world where consumers can trust the choices they make
- As a global leader in Trademark and Brand Protection, we partner with businesses to safeguard their most valuable assets in an increasingly complex digital environment
- Our comprehensive solutions, powered by AI-driven data and deep analytics, enable brands to establish, monitor, and protect their presence against infringement and counterfeiting
- While over 90% of Corsearch’s data acquisition is automated, we rely on Cyborg to navigate 'hard domains'—websites that employ advanced detection and aggressive blocking
- Cyborg is our proprietary Chrome extension and backend ecosystem that allows us to bypass scraping restrictions and collect high-value data manually when bots fail
- We are looking for a Fullstack Engineer to evolve Cyborg from a manual parsing tool into a sophisticated task-dictating engine
- You won’t just be building a tool; you’ll be building the system that tells our team what to scrape, when, and how, integrating a new database-driven queueing feature to make our data collection 100% efficient
- This is a Fullstack role with a 2:1 emphasis on the Backend
- 65% Backend (Golang): Developing the core infrastructure, managing database integrations, and building the "task-queue" logic
- 35% Frontend (ReactJS): Enhancing the Chrome extension UI to ensure a seamless, high-speed experience for our manual scraping teams
- Evolution of Cyborg: Lead the transition of the Cyborg tool into a task-management system
- Infrastructure Development: Write high-performance, scalable code in Golang to support our scraping infrastructure
- Frontend Excellence: Use ReactJS to build and maintain the Cyborg Chrome extension, focusing on user efficiency and data accuracy
- Strategy & Mitigation: Work with the team to develop strategies (account management, time-delays, semi-automation) to mitigate scraping restrictions on major global marketplaces
