Overview

Hey this is Rohit (CEO/co-founder) writing this. I find most JDs to be quite impersonal and bland. We do things a bit differently here at String. So to start off, I appreciate you for taking the time to read this and for considering us.

We’re building the most comprehensive platform to collect and structure data from the web.

Customers ranging from the world’s largest hedge funds to seed-stage startups use String to pull 50M+ rows of structured web data per week (that’s literally 50+ rows every second).

We’re generating 7 figures in ARR and are growing double digit % MoM. We have found initial PMF and are now building our delivery team to accelerate growth. We’ve done everything so far with a lean team of < 10 people and we recently raised a seed round (unannounced) from leading VCs and angels in our space (Auren Hoffman, Charlie Songhurst, and many more).

We are looking for the right person to join us on this exciting journey! If you love solving tough technical problems, thrive in fast-paced environments, and enjoy working across the stack, we would love to meet you!

What do we do

Today any business that wants to collect web data has to jump through many hoops:

• Build infrastructure to send thousands of requests to websites
• Build technology to avoid getting detected as a bot (very hard to do at scale)
• Code individual scripts for every website they want to scrape
• Fix all those scripts as websites change, and
• Ensure consistent data quality across runs
