SEO practitioner Gagan Ghotra shares that Google is hiring a "Senior Engineering Analyst, Search, Anti-scraper" in Mountain View, paying $147K–$216K/year, full-time on-site—joking with a Matrix GIF that Google is hiring its own agent to protect what matters most: the search results.
The posting is read as Google escalating its war against LLM data scraping, a sign that scraping search results at scale—whether for AI training or SEO harvesting—is getting much harder.
