[Hiring] Chief Technology and Product Officer @saas.group

Role Description

This role is part of our ScraperAPI team, one of our growing brands at saas.group. ScraperAPI is an enterprise-scale web scraping solution, trusted by businesses across a wide range of industries to extract crucial data at scale. We're currently on an exciting growth journey, scaling rapidly as demand for reliable, high-performance web scraping and data keeps rising.

Your immediate impact in the first 3-6 months will be:

• Get hands-on with the heart of the product: proxy dynamics and anti-bot evasion, working directly with our Head of Ops to optimise vendor relationships and build up capacity.
• Build real fluency in the product and the backend so you can operate as a genuine technical sparring partner to the CEO, not just receive direction.
• Start bringing the ScraperAPI and Traject Data infrastructure together on a coherent technical roadmap.

Your responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end product and technology strategy across our scraping infrastructure, proxy networks, and structured data API products (ScraperAPI, SerpWow, Rainforest API).
• Lead, scale, and develop a 25+ person product and engineering organisation spanning multiple countries and time zones, building the management structure it needs as it grows.
• Set technical architecture direction for high-scale, high-reliability infrastructure, including proxy management, anti-bot evasion, and large-scale scraping systems.
• Drive AI and modern ML tooling into both the product itself and how the team builds and ships it.
• Define and execute one product roadmap across the merged ScraperAPI and Traject Data lines.
• Represent product and technology to the board, and work closely with the CEO and commercial leadership to keep product direction and business strategy aligned.
• Stay close enough to the code and infrastructure to go in and troubleshoot, fix, or challenge a technical decision yourself when it matters.

Qualifications

• Experience leading product and/or engineering at a highly technical company (CTO, CPO, VP Engineering or similar), at a 25+ person org or larger.
• Real hands-on depth in web scraping, proxies, or closely adjacent infrastructure.
• A genuine track record with AI/ML, both shaping AI-powered product capability and pushing AI-native ways of working through an engineering team.
• Experience owning product vision and technical architecture together, not just one side of that line.
• Comfort operating at board level: a clear communicator who can hold their own with an ambitious, hands-on CEO and knows when to push back.
• Bonus: experience integrating product lines after a merger or acquisition.

Benefits

• Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
• Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way, with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
• Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable.
• Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
• Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning and expertise with each other internally.
• Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
