About Apify
What is Apify?
Apify is a Prague-based platform for web data and tools for AI builders: web scraping, browser automation and a marketplace of ready-to-run tools called Actors. Its About page says "We’re building the world’s largest platform for web data and tools for AI builders", reports 80,000 customers worldwide and 112,177 ready-made Actors in the Apify Store (a live counter, read on 6 November 2026), and explains that the company was launched by Jan Čurn and Jakub Balada in 2015 from the Y Combinator Fellowship in Mountain View, California, then moved back to the Czech Republic in 2016. The ads describe a marketplace where "Actors are created by a global community of builders who earn from them, while Apify manages infrastructure, billing, and distribution".
Where will I work?
The contact page lists the Prague headquarters at "100Yards Na Prikope 959/27, 110 00 Prague 1" and the Brno office at "Titanium Brno Nove sady 25, 602 00 Brno"; a company blog post says the team moved out of Palác Lucerna into 100yards in August 2026, although the careers page still describes the old Lucerna loft. On 6 November 2026 all 13 live ads were listed in the Czech Republic (10 as Prague, 3 as Czechia). Remote work depends on the role. Two engineering ads spell out the remote terms: the Billing ad says "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" and the Agentic Experience Engineer ad says remote hires onboard in Prague for 1-2 weeks and visit the office at least once a month; five more ads offer an "Option to work remotely" or "Option to work fully remotely" without terms, and three engineering ads do not mention remote work. The Head of Brand ad says "Hybrid work model", the Publisher ecosystem engineer ad says "Location: flexible, onsite in Prague for ~2 days/week at minimum", and the Product Manager ad asks for someone "Able to work full-time from the Prague or Brno office".
What is the Apify team like?
The careers page says "We’re hackers at heart, building the kind of company we always wanted to work for" and that people "take ownership, move fast, and ask for forgiveness rather than permission". Its values are Open, Driven, Responsible, Flexible and Team, and it promises to "value results over excuses" and "respect everyone’s time". Engineering ads describe small cross-functional teams that ship in two-week sprints and deploy several times a day; the Senior Backend Engineer, Actors ad says the team is "Built on our own tools", the open-source Crawlee and Apify SDK libraries. Ads cover engineering (9 of 13), go-to-market (3) and product (1); the Junior Video Producer (TikTok) role is part-time. The company says "87% of Apifiers say our company team-buildings, offsites, and parties are legendary".
Work-Life Balance
Under the heading "Flexible working hours and vacation" the careers page says: "We look at the output of work, not the input. Nobody tracks how long you work, when, and from where." All 13 live ads list flexible working hours as a benefit: 10 say they are "perfect for both night owls" and early birds, and the other 3 list plain "Flexible working hours". No core-hours window or required overlap is stated anywhere. On time off the page says "We don’t count paid days off—people usually take 25 days per year", and every ad adds "Nobody counts holidays as long as the work gets done". The page states no fixed entitlement. Where the ads spell out the remote terms (Billing, Agentic Experience Engineer), remote hires visit the Prague office at least once a month.
