Forager is your always-on B2B sales engine that scours the web in real-time to find prospects matching your customer personas and automatically adds them into your CRM, empowering your sales team. With custom crawlers developed based on user-defined criteria, Forager provides robust enrichment of prospect data across numerous attributes, ensuring your sales pipeline is consistently filled with fresh leads. The platform integrates seamlessly with leading sales CRMs and engagement tools to enhance sales productivity and effectiveness.

📋 Description

• Own backend, data, and infrastructure delivering Forager's data to platform customers at scale, from ingestion through APIs and customer-integrated feeds. • Design, build, and operate RESTful APIs for enrichment, search, feeds, and platform-customer workflows. • Develop scalable backend services, workers, task queues, waterfall lookups, and data pipelines. • Build metering, credit-logging, and billing logic for accurate customer consumption. • Participate in product planning and help prioritize high-impact features. • Own the Elasticsearch / ECK search stack, including index design, ingestion, relevance tuning, cluster health, scaling, and migrations. • Design and operate ETL applications moving data into searchable stores, bulk feeds, Snowflake, S3, and warehouses. • Optimize PostgreSQL query performance, indexing, and cache utilization. • Drive improvements in latency, uptime, error rate, fill rate, and scalability. • Own AWS infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and on-call response. • Drive infrastructure modernization and share crawler infrastructure maintenance. • Build Grafana dashboards, load tests, and data-accuracy evaluations. • Contribute to the React/TypeScript customer-facing application, documentation, onboarding, and self-serve surfaces. • Conduct code reviews; write unit, integration, and E2E tests. • Document features, architecture, and API contracts.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years building and operating production backend systems and APIs, with clear examples of strategic technical problem-solving (not just tenure). • Strong proficiency in Python / Django REST Framework. • Hands-on experience operating Elasticsearch / OpenSearch at scale — index/mapping design, query and relevance tuning, cluster management, migrations. • Demonstrated track record building and operating ETL pipelines that move significant data volumes reliably. • Production experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and async task systems (Celery / RabbitMQ or equivalent). • Core-owner-level comfort with AWS (ECS, S3, CloudWatch), infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or equivalent). • Experience operating services in production — observability, on-call, incident response. • Working proficiency in React / TypeScript. • Strong written communication; comfortable owning documentation as a deliverable. • Daily hands-on fluency with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent. • Experience designing, orchestrating, and debugging multi-step agent pipelines, including MCP server integration and tool-use design. • Judgment about when AI helps versus hurts in production work. • Demonstrable agentic workflow experience; candidates without it will not be considered.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive pay for your location — calibrated to your experience and where you're based. • Flexible working hours — we care about output and overlap, not clock-watching. • Untracked PTO — take the time off you need; there's no accrual to count. • Relaxed working environment — small team, high autonomy, low bureaucracy. Anyone can take an idea to production without jumping through hoops.
