Founded in 2010, we are a globally distributed team of over 250 Zytans working from over 28 countries who are on a mission to enable our customers to extract the data they need to continue to innovate and grow their businesses. We believe that all businesses deserve a smooth pathway to data

For more than a decade, Zyte has led the way in building powerful, easy-to-use tools to collect, format, and deliver web data, quickly, dependably, and at scale. And today, the data we extract helps thousands of organizations make smarter business decisions, secure competitive advantage, and drive sustainable growth. Today, over 3,000 companies and 1 million developers rely on our tools and services to get the data they need from the web.

As a Full Stack Engineer, you will play a crucial role in enhancing our customer-facing applications and backend systems. You will work closely with a diverse and collaborative team, embracing opportunities to innovate and implement scalable solutions. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the entire technology stack but with a focus on the frontend and has a strong understanding of web applications and technologies.

We employ agile methodologies and work in cross-functional pods to facilitate innovation and rapid development. With this approach, we can effectively respond to customer needs and adapt to changes in the market.

Responsibilities:

    • Develop and maintain front-end and back-end components of our applications with strong focus on performance, scalability & security.
    • Deliver high‑performance user interfaces in Angular and Next.js, with a strong focus on Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID/INP) and page load times.
    • Optimize our Angular & Next.js applications through server‑side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG/ISR), code‑splitting, caching, and asset optimization (images, fonts, and scripts).
    • Implement secure‑by‑default patterns across the stack (e.g., safe data handling, protection against XSS/CSRF, secure cookies, proper auth/session handling, and dependency hygiene).
    • Collaborate with designers and product managers to define UX & design specifications (Figma) to develop responsive and accessible UIs that look great on all devices and browsers.
    • Instrument applications with analytics, logging, and performance monitoring to detect regressions early and continuously improve UX (e.g., tracking Core Web Vitals, error rates, and key user flows).
    • Write and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, and end‑to‑end) for critical user journeys to ensure performance and security are protected during rapid iteration.
    • Partner with DevOps/infra to improve our build, deployment, and caching strategies (CI/CD, CDN configuration, edge caching) for fast and reliable releases.
    • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code & participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers.
    • Keep up to date with emerging technologies and apply them to the development process.

Requirements

    • Proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript with hands‑on experience in Angular and React/Next.js for frontend development.
    • Strong understanding of Next.js features such as SSR, SSG/ISR, dynamic routing, next/image, and API routes. Similarly (SSR) via @angular/ssr, Prerendering (SSG) with route-based configurations, dynamic routing through the Angular Router with parameters and resolvers, image optimization using NgOptimizedImage, and API integration via HttpClient or meta-frameworks like AnalogJS, and how all the above can impact performance and SEO.
    • Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs (GraphQL experience is a plus), and integrating them efficiently into SPA and SSR/SSG apps.
    • Familiarity with performance profiling and optimization tools and techniques (web core vitals, lazy loading, bundle analysis, tree shaking, caching strategies, HTTP/2, etc.).
    • Strong CSS skills and experience with modern styling approaches (e.g. Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, SCSS) and responsive design patterns.
    • Experience with backend development using Python (Django/Flask/FastAPI) and/or Node.js (e.g. Next.js API routes) to build secure and performant server‑side logic.
    • Experience with PostgreSQL or MongoDB and designing queries that scale under real‑world traffic.
    • Experience working with version control tools such as Git.
    • Solid debugging and problem-solving skills.
    • A collaborative mindset and a strong desire to learn and grow.
    • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
    • Ideally, prior experience working in a remote team environment.
    • Experience with agile methodologies is a plus.
