Gogolook is a TrustTech company with the mission of "Build for Trust." We build AI-powered products — including Whoscall and Watchmen — that protect hundreds of millions of people and businesses from fraud across Asia-Pacific. Our work sits at the intersection of real-time threat intelligence, data engineering, and enterprise-grade SaaS, and it has real-world stakes: the systems you build will directly determine how fast we can detect and neutralize emerging scam threats.

Role Overview

As a Backend Engineer (Data Acquisition) on the Anti-Scam 2B team, you will own and evolve Gogolook's web data acquisition infrastructure — the backbone that powers our Watchmen brand-protection platform. You'll tackle one of our most critical cost-and-capability challenges: replacing high-cost crawler dependencies with an in-house, scalable, cost-efficient crawling fleet that supports real-time social media monitoring, fraud signal extraction, and threat intelligence enrichment.

This role requires deep crawler expertise and a high degree of independence. You will be the team's go-to expert for data acquisition, working closely with backend engineers, data engineers, and product to shape how we collect, process, and operationalize web intelligence at scale. As the team's first dedicated crawler specialist, you'll have the ownership to set the technical direction and build the capability for long-term scale.

What You'll Work On

In the next 6–12 months, your primary mission will be to replace the existing Watchmen crawler dependencies with a purpose-built, in-house crawling system, dramatically reducing operational costs while improving coverage, freshness, and reliability. Beyond the initial migration, you'll expand crawler coverage to new social platforms and fraud signals, build extraction pipelines that feed into Gogolook's fraud database, and develop reusable crawling infrastructure that serves the company's broader B2B product roadmap and AI/ML detection initiatives.
