We’re looking for a Senior C++ Developer to support the development of custom Chromium-based browser solutions. You’ll work on browser-level modifications, automation detection evasion, and web scraping infrastructure, tackling technically challenging problems alongside a highly skilled engineering team. This is a freelance engagement of around 50 hours per month with flexible working hours and remote collaboration.
Your responsibilities will include: * Modifying and maintaining custom Chromium-based browser builds. * Analyzing and mitigating common browser automation fingerprints and detection vectors. * Implementing solutions to reduce browser automation detectability. * Working closely with web scraping infrastructure and browser automation systems. * Building, maintaining, and optimizing Chromium build environments and CI/CD pipelines. * Troubleshooting browser-level issues and performance bottlenecks. * Collaborating with engineering teams to design scalable and reliable data extraction solutions.
What we expect from you: * Strong commercial experience with C++. * Proven experience working with the Chromium open-source project. * Hands-on experience forking, modifying, and rebuilding Chromium. * Deep understanding of browser internals, networking, rendering processes, and automation detection techniques. * Extensive experience with web scraping projects, particularly on websites protected by advanced anti-bot systems. * Familiarity with automation frameworks such as Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium, including their detection vectors. * Experience setting up and maintaining Chromium build pipelines and development environments. * Senior-level engineering expertise with the ability to work independently on complex technical challenges.
What we offer: * Freelance collaboration for approximately 50 hours per month with an initial engagement of 3+ months. * Interesting projects and technical challenges that support professional growth and provide opportunities to make a meaningful impact. * A team of creative, proactive, and empathetic professionals. * Flexible working hours with a focus on results rather than time tracking. * The opportunity to work remotely from anywhere. * A low-bureaucracy environment with regular feedback and support from colleagues. * Competitive compensation based on your experience and expertise.
