Anti-scraping Security Expert
We are seeking an Anti-scraping Security Expert to design, implement and continuously improve protections against automated data extraction, abusive bots and large-scale scraping activity. You will work across application security, infrastructure and engineering teams to protect digital services while maintaining a smooth experience for legitimate users. The role involves analysing traffic patterns, identifying emerging attack techniques and developing effective, proportionate mitigation strategies across web, mobile and API environments.
Your responsibilities will include building and tuning bot-detection systems, developing rate-limiting and challenge mechanisms, reviewing suspicious activity and investigating scraping incidents. You will create detection logic using behavioural, network and application signals, assess the effectiveness of controls through testing and monitoring, and recommend improvements based on threat intelligence and forensic findings. You will also help establish security standards for APIs and public-facing applications, contribute to incident response, document operating procedures and provide clear reports to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Collaboration with software engineers, site reliability specialists and data teams will be essential to ensure that controls are scalable, resilient and aligned with privacy requirements.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in bot management, web application security, fraud prevention, traffic analysis or a related discipline. You should be comfortable with HTTP, TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, CDNs, reverse proxies, APIs, JavaScript and common automation frameworks, as well as familiar with techniques used to bypass anti-automation controls. Experience with tools such as WAFs, SIEM platforms, observability systems and cloud security services is desirable. Strong programming or scripting skills in languages such as Python, Go or JavaScript are expected, along with the ability to analyse large datasets and translate findings into practical controls. A methodical approach, sound judgement, strong communication skills and a commitment to responsible, privacy-conscious security practices are essential.
