Perks

SerpApi has been created by engineers for engineers. High compensation, transparency, remote-first, and a high trust environment are at the core of the company. All of these also make a very neurodivergent-friendly work environment. Several of our team members, including our CEO, are on the spectrum. Having a neurodivergent-friendly company is not an afterthought. We welcome talent from all over the world! No matter where you’re based, you can be part of our diverse, remote-first team. For those outside Austin, TX, we typically hire as independent contractors since we don't have an office there.
