Full description
Apify is the largest marketplace of tools for AI. On Apify Store, tens of thousands of Actors, purpose-built tools for the web, help people and AI agents get real-time data, track competitors, generate leads, and connect apps. Anyone can build one and earn from it.
Apify is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js/TypeScript). As a member of the Creators group, you'll be building a world-class ecosystem for community developers and builders to create, publish, and monetize their ideas as Actors on Apify. You will build tools and features that help them succeed in the ongoing AI revolution, utilize agentic coding and other agentic flows in their daily operations, and earn monthly payouts to support their living (collectively earning >$1.2M/month from usage of their Actors!).
What you'll be working on:
- Own features and projects end-to-end, from the discovery phase through to production, and see them have a real impact on creators.
- Build the tools and features creators rely on to publish, monetize, and grow their Actors.
- Work in a small, cross-functional team, shipping in two-week sprints and deploying daily.
- Use the Apify platform yourself every day - we build for builders by builders - and take pride in making it better.
- Contribute to open source; we publish everything we can on GitHub (PRs are welcome 😉).
Publishers team
The Publishers team builds everything a creator needs once they publish their Actor on Apify and make it available in Apify Store. They own our Actor monetization logic, analytics, review system, systems for maintaining Actor quality, and much more. By joining the Publishers team, you'll work on the next generation of tools and features that help creators around the world use AI to run a business and earn a living on Apify.
📍 Location: flexible, onsite in Prague for ~2 days/week at minimum
Who we're looking for:
- 3+ years of industry experience building backend systems and APIs.
- Strong development and debugging skills in TypeScript/Node.js, or proficiency in another language, and the drive to learn TypeScript quickly.
- Hands-on experience with AI tools in your day-to-day work, and the drive to stay up to date with the latest trends.
- An experiment-driven, collaborative mindset.
- Comfortable picking up React when a feature needs it. The role is mostly backend, but you'll ship end-to-end, UI included.
- A strong technical background or a great professional track record.
- Good communication skills in English.
