Charted Sea is hiring a
JavaScript Deobfuscation Engineer

About Charted Sea

Charted Sea is a small, bootstrapped SaaS company helping customers scrape very complex platforms such as Shopee. They focus on hard technical problems like anti-bot, browser automation, fingerprinting, and captcha solving.

Job Description

We’re building a SaaS to extract data from complex platforms like Shopee. Our focus is a deobfuscator that turns obfuscated JavaScript into readable code. It targets: - restore strings (e.g., f(42) -> "my-string") - simplify control flow (e.g., a && b || !a && c -> if (a) { b } else { c }) - unpack sequence expressions (var a = (c=1, b=1+c, 3+b+c)) - decompile a custom bytecode VM (70K instructions). This is not typical web/backend work; the target platforms evolve constantly. You will own the deobfuscator, work directly with the founder, and have time to go deep on long-term problems. Stack: TypeScript, Babel. Compensation: $40k–$80k USD + monthly bonus (10% of net revenue shared with team). Apply: marc.plouhinec@chartedsea.com (short intro + CV/GitHub).
