About this role

The team waiting for you:

They're building the next generation of web scraping platform - new high-scale product endpoints, designed Go-first. We're looking for a strong backend engineer who wants to grow into Go, treats AI tools as a core part of how they build, and likes owning real problems at scale

In this role, you’ll:

- Continuously research and test AI agent tools, developer products, and emerging infrastructure players, then turn findings into clear recommendations for our product and go-to-market direction.

- Use our products end-to-end from a developer perspective, auditing the experience across product flows, website, docs, and technical messaging to identify friction, gaps, and misleading positioning.

- Track changes in the AI and agent ecosystem, including MCP, browser-use standards, agent-to-agent patterns, and new developer workflows, and highlight what matters most for our product strategy.

- Maintain a living view of the agent tooling landscape, including frameworks, SDKs, key competitors, and emerging categories relevant to proxies, scraping, and developer infrastructure.

- Identify opportunities to connect new agent-facing use cases and integrations with our existing proxy and scraping capabilities.

- Represent our technical direction in external communities by engaging with developers, following open-source conversations, and sharing ecosystem insights back with internal teams.

Your skills & experience:

- 3+ years of hands-on software development experience, with a strong understanding of developer workflows, technical products, and how developers evaluate tools in practice

- Strong understanding of the AI tooling landscape, with hands-on curiosity around agents, LLM applications, developer tools, APIs, and technical workflows.

- Ability to evaluate products critically from a developer-user perspective and translate observations into concrete product, positioning, or integration recommendations.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to summarize complex technical trends clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Comfortable working in a fast-changing space, forming opinions with incomplete information, and adjusting quickly as the ecosystem evolves.

Nice to have:

- Familiarity with proxy, scraping, browser automation, or data extraction products.

- Exposure to AI agent frameworks, browser-use tools, MCP-related developments, or developer infrastructure ecosystems.

- Experience participating in technical communities, open-source ecosystems, conferences, or Discord/Slack developer groups.

Salary & Benefits:

- Gross salary: from 2800 EUR/month to 5600 EUR/month. Keep in mind that we are open to discussing a different salary based on your skills and experience.

- Growth & Learning: 40+ internal learning options, external conferences, mentorship, and year-round knowledge-sharing.

- Health & Well-being: Private health insurance, psychotherapy, on-site well-being consultants, 24/7 gym access, and a wellness app.

- Celebration & Community: Team events, an overseas workation, quarterly team-building budgets, and plenty of ways to mark milestones together.

- Plus bonus vacation days, paid life-moment days off, barista coffee, and all the tools you need. See the full list of benefits here: https://career.oxylabs.io/blog/our-work-benefits/.
