Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Proxy Network

Our proxy network is the beating heart of the platform - residential, ISP, mobile, and datacenter proxies serving billions of requests, with rotation, geo-targeting, and IP reputation management underneath every one of them. We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to go deep into that layer: build and own core proxy and networking infrastructure, not configure someone else's.

You bring the same range as our core infrastructure engineers - proxies and networking, browser internals, and cloud-native systems (Kubernetes, Docker, AWS) - with the depth to design and debug at every layer of the stack, plus a genuine specialization in networking and proxy systems.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of engineering experience.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with proxy infrastructure.
• Deep, hands-on networking expertise - TCP/UDP, sockets, HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5, HTTP/2/3, DNS - at the protocol level, not the surface level.
• Proven experience building (not just configuring or integrating) proxy or networking infrastructure - reverse proxies, rotation systems, IP reputation and quality management.
• Working knowledge of proxy types - residential, ISP, mobile, datacenter - their characteristics, trade-offs, and failure modes.
• Comfortable in the Linux networking stack: iptables, routing tables, network namespaces, connection tuning.
• Experience with high-throughput, low-latency, high-scale systems, and the debugging skills to chase a problem down to a packet trace when needed.
• Solid cloud infrastructure skills - Kubernetes, Docker, and IaC (Terraform) - to ship and operate what you build.
• A genuine AI-native mindset - daily, expert use of AI-assisted development tools to move faster without sacrificing correctness.
• Strong software engineering ability in Node.js, Rust, Go, or Python - you design and build production microservices, not just scripts and runbooks.
• Experience with data infrastructure at scale - high-throughput pipelines and storage (nice to have).

Responsibilities:

• Build core proxy infrastructure - reverse proxies, IP rotation, session management, intelligent routing.
• Own IP pool health - reputation scoring, monitoring, blacklist recovery - across residential, mobile, datacenter, and ISP proxies.
• Implement geo-targeting at country, city, and ASN level.
• Work at the protocol level (TCP/UDP, sockets, HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5, HTTP/2/3) and the Linux networking stack underneath.
• Build monitoring, health checks, failover, and bandwidth/usage metering for the proxy fleet.
• Deploy and scale on cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform).
• Use AI-assisted development tools daily.

About us:

Nimble is the real-time web search platform built for enterprise accuracy, completeness, and trust. We run Web Search Agents that actively navigate live websites using real browsers and reasoning, turning the public web into governed, decision-grade data for AI systems and high-stakes business use.

Unlike index-based “AI search” tools or brittle legacy scraping, Nimble makes the live web queryable on demand, delivering structured outputs that teams can verify and rely on. Our platform powers use cases where correctness matters: financial due diligence, real-time pricing and promotions, market intelligence, and AI systems that depend on fresh, complete data.

Trusted by leading enterprises like Home Depot, Uber, and Coca-Cola and backed by top-tier investors, Nimble sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and real-time web intelligence.

As demand accelerates across AI, LLMs, and data-driven decisioning, we’re scaling quickly and looking for high-energy, driven teammates who thrive in fast-moving environments and want to help define a new category.

Why join Nimble?

• Work on a deeply technical platform powering real-time AI and enterprise decisions
• Help define the future of Web Search Agents and live web intelligence
• Build alongside a sharp, mission-driven team that moves fast, ships often, and takes ownership
