As a completely bootstrapped company in its initial two years, we have won the trust and admiration of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses globally by prioritizing our customers’ needs in every decision we make.

We are building a full stack B2B SaaS platform of data extraction products, including Proxy-as-a-Service (Rotating Residential Proxies, Rotating Mobile Proxies, ISP Proxies, DC Proxies) and Data-as-a-Service products (Scraping APIs, AI Scraper, WebUnblocker).

Our remote-first approach and four-day workweek reflect our commitment to innovation and efficiency. Our team is a lively mix of entrepreneurial, data-driven, and hands-on individuals. At SOAX, we focus on delivering fast and flawlessly, making more with less.

We are seeking a strategic and driven Product Lead to take ownership of our Scrapers Team, a core component of SOAX’s product offering. The Scraping Team is dedicated to building and evolving our Scraping APIs, which empower businesses to access structured data from a variety of public resources, such as marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart) and search engine result pages (SERP).

As the Product Lead, you will be responsible for the outcomes of the Scrapers Team, measured by key product metrics directly connected to ARR. This role involves not only developing a market-leading scraping solution but also collaborating cross-functionally with product, infrastructure, and acquisition teams to ensure our data extraction products are unmatched in speed, accuracy, and reliability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with Acquisition, Infrastructure, and Lifecycle teams to ensure strategic alignment and actively contribute to shared goals, such as customer retention and platform scalability.
Technical Innovation & Scalability: Partner with engineering and R&D teams to explore and implement technologies that improve the scalability, reliability, and speed of our Scraping APIs.
Team Leadership: Oversee a team of developers and data specialists, fostering a collaborative and results-driven culture. Make strategic hiring and team development decisions to maintain efficiency and maximize ARR/FTE.
