About the role
Apify is the largest marketplace of tools for AI. On Apify Store , tens of thousands of 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.
Apify is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js/TypeScript) . As a member of the Creators group, you'll be building a world-class ecosystem for community developers and builders to create, publish, and monetize their ideas as Actors on Apify. You will build tools and features that help them succeed in the ongoing AI revolution, utilize agentic coding and other agentic flows in their daily operations, and earn monthly payouts to support their living (collectively earning >$1.2M/month from usage of their Actors!).
What you'll be working on:
Own features and projects end-to-end, from the discovery phase through to production, and see them have a real impact on creators.
Build the tools and features creators rely on to publish, monetize, and grow their Actors.
Work in a small, cross-functional team, shipping in two-week sprints and deploying daily.
Use the Apify platform yourself every day - we build for builders by builders - and take pride in making it better.
Contribute to open source; we publish everything we can on GitHub (PRs are welcome 😉).
You will be joining one of the following teams:
Publishers team
The Publishers team builds everything a creator needs once they publish their Actor on Apify and make it available in Apify Store. They own our Actor monetization logic, analytics, review system, systems for maintaining Actor quality, and much more. By joining the Publishers team, you'll work on the next generation of tools and features that help creators around the world use AI to run a business and earn a living on Apify.
📍 Location: flexible, onsite in Prague for ~2 days/week at minimum
Billing team
The Billing team is responsible for the entire payout infrastructure for creators, ensuring that >$1.2M/month actually reaches the hands of hundreds of community developers. They also own the entire billing system, ensuring Apify users can subscribe, invoices are issued, payments go through, and more. One of the most exciting challenges you'll work on is building the backbone for the emerging agentic payment economy, alongside deep, complex work to keep our internal billing system running efficiently and reliably as Apify's business grows.
📍 Location: onsite in Prague or Brno / fully remote; if remote, visiting our office at least once a month and onboarding (~1-2 weeks) in Prague
