Mission
Engineer robust web automation systems for data collection, browser workflows, and proxy validation. Build reliable automation, diagnose edge cases, and help shape the infrastructure that powers it.
The Opportunity
HypeProxies is one of the fastest-growing infra-first proxy and server companies in the market. We've built:
Fully owned infrastructure in Ashburn, VA and Dallas, TX
A world-class brand and reputation
1,000+ servers sold and managed internally
A Proxmox-based VPS platform serving hundreds of B2B and data collection teams
A custom proxy engine and VPS platform
We're looking for a Web Automation Engineer who enjoys hard reliability problems — anti-bot friction, flaky browsers, proxy behavior — and takes pride in systems that keep working under load.
You'll work with engineering and infrastructure on automation that exercises our proxy network and supports customer workflows at scale.
What You Will Own
You will:
Design and build web automation for data collection and browser-driven workflows
Validate proxy behavior across protocols, locations, and edge cases
Harden automation against bot detection, CAPTCHAs, and site changes
Improve reliability, throughput, and observability of automation fleets
Diagnose failures across browser, network, and proxy layers
Partner with platform and network engineers on performance and quality signals
Document playbooks and contribute reusable automation libraries
Responsibilities
1. Automation Systems
Build and maintain browser and HTTP automation pipelines
Design resilient retries, scheduling, and failure handling
Scale workers and sessions without sacrificing success rates
Keep automation adaptable as target sites change
2. Proxy Validation & Quality
Continuously test proxy pools for success rate, latency, and correctness
Surface quality regressions early with clear alerts and reports
Reproduce customer-facing failures and pin them to root causes
Feed validation signals back into product and infrastructure decisions
3. Reliability & Tooling
Improve logging, metrics, and debugging for automation jobs
Reduce flaky tests and false failures
Automate repetitive operational checks
Ship libraries and patterns the rest of engineering can reuse
4. Collaboration
Work with infrastructure and platform teams on proxy and network behavior
Support customer-facing investigations when automation exposes product issues
Share findings that improve the proxy product itself
What Makes This Role Special
You'll build automation on top of real, owned proxy and server infrastructure — not a black-box API.
Your work directly improves product quality for thousands of customers.
You'll tackle interesting anti-bot and reliability problems every week.
You'll have autonomy to ship tooling that makes the whole engineering team faster.
You'll see the impact of your systems in production metrics quickly.
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation: TBD, depending on experience
Fully remote
Unlimited PTO
Performance-based salary growth as responsibilities increase
Clear path to grow with the engineering team as automation scales
