On [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store), tens of thousands of [Actors](https://apify.com/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. Join us to help people put the web to work. Apify can [find missing children](https://blog.apify.com/fighting-child-traffickers-with-technology/), protect consumers from [fake discounts across the EU](https://blog.apify.com/how-web-scraping-ai-and-the-eu-have-come-together-to-sweep-away-fake-discounts-in-europe/), and [feed data to AI chatbots](https://blog.apify.com/intercom-customer-support-ai-chatbot-web-scraping/). Working on our mission to build the largest marketplace of tools for AI, we're becoming one of the pioneers in MCP dynamic tool discovery and agentic payments via [Coinbase's x402 standard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqQ5M1OKhrw), letting autonomous agents discover the right tools and pay for them on their own. Because we serve both humans and machines, we're also making natural language a first-class interface to the platform. We stay close to where this is happening: we show our work at conferences like the AI Engineer World's Fair, where we spoke on [the emerging agentic economy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blW-lSd5CYQ), and the MCP Dev Summit; we host our own Prague Crawl, where Jan Curn made the case that ["MCP doesn't suck, your agent does"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnbXQr1UQoM); and we regularly rotate people through San Francisco. We're looking for an **AI Engineer** to help build all of this. It's a small team with a lot of surface area, so you'll own real problems end-to-end. ## **What you'll be working on:** * Build and maintain the Apify MCP Server, turning tens of thousands of Actors into tools that agents can reliably call. * Keep the server ahead of a protocol that changes fast and often breaks: stateless transports, authorization hardening, and tool discovery. * Shape the agent behind Apify AI, from the runtime it runs on to the tools it reaches and the rough edges that surface when it runs a full task end-to-end. * Help autonomous agents discover and pay for Apify tools. * Build evals that turn real production traces into tests, catch regressions in CI, and tell us whether a change made the product better or worse. ## **Who we're looking for:** * 3+ years building real software, with backend experience in Node.js/TypeScript or Python. * You've built something on top of LLMs and know the pain firsthand: tools the model calls wrong, context that balloons, agents that confidently do the wrong thing. * Curious and self-directed: comfortable with loosely defined problems and keeping up with a field that changes every week. * You use the Apify platform, or want to, and care about building tools other people enjoy using. * Good communication skills in English. **Our tech stack:** * Infra: AWS Compute (Kubernetes (EKS), EC2, Lambda), Helm, Terraform, CloudFormation, ArgoCD, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, S3, GitHub Actions * Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Mezmo, Sentry, PagerDuty * Frontend: React.js, styled-components, Storybook, Chromatic, Cypress, Playwright * Backend: TypeScript/Node.js, Nest.js, Next.js, Docusaurus, Vitest * Tools: GitHub, Notion, Google Workspace, Slack * OS, code editor, and AI assistant of your choice (Claude Premium with unlimited tokens, GH Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, or JetBrains AI) * Process: two-week sprints, code reviews, tests, automating whatever we can, and deploying multiple times per day ## **Why should you work at Apify?** * Space, support, and autonomy for personal growth, with a direct impact on our success * Full-time position in our amazing offices in Prague (100Yards) or Brno (Titanium) 🏰 * Option to work fully remotely 🛋️ * Flexible working hours (perfect for both night owls 🦉 and early birds 🐥) * Nobody counts holidays as long as the work gets done 💪 * Unlimited Claude for every Apifier. We don't count tokens. Just use them well 🤖 * Stock options and profit sharing 💰 * Free Multisport card * We welcome pets, kids, and bikes in the office * Epic team buildings and offsites 🚢 with biking, canoeing, and other adventures 🪂 * Solid education and training budget, conference tickets, internal "Eat & Learn" sessions, and the possibility to work across teams * Generous hardware budget 💻 * Free lunches every day when working from the office 🌮🥡 * Unlimited supply of ☕ & 🍺 and snacks * Free entry to the wonderful Prague and Brno Zoo 🐘 * Ping-pong, chess, PS5, lightsabers, foosball league after lunch *For more details about Apify and what it's like to work with us, see our* [*Careers page*](https://apify.com/jobs)*.* ## Apply [Apply on Apify]() Canonical job page:
