Junior Software Engineer (Intern)

Crawlzo, Tallinn, Estonia (Remote)

  • Built purely request-based scrapers for social media and e-commerce platforms, reverse-engineering private and undocumented APIs from network traffic — no browser automation required.
  • Defeated modern anti-bot protections using TLS/JA3 fingerprinting, proxy rotation, and authenticated request replication (headers, cookies, tokens, pagination) via curl_cffi and tls-client.
  • Engineered resilient extraction pipelines that clean, normalize, and store data as structured JSON — handling rate limits, retries, and dynamic response schemas at scale.
  • Deployed and maintained scrapers on Linux servers with scheduling, proxy pools, and monitoring for continuous unattended extraction.
