About the Role

Join the Tendem project as a Senior Python Data Scraping Engineer to drive specialized data scraping workflows within a hybrid AI + human system. As an AI Pilot, collaborate with Tendem Agents, providing critical thinking, domain expertise, and quality control for accurate, actionable results. This part-time remote role is for technical professionals experienced in web scraping, data extraction, and processing.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end data extraction workflows across complex websites, ensuring complete coverage, accuracy, and reliable delivery of structured datasets.
  • Leverage internal tools (Apify, OpenRouter) alongside custom workflows to accelerate data collection, validation, and task execution while meeting defined requirements.
  • Ensure reliable extraction from dynamic and interactive web sources, adapting approaches as needed to handle JavaScript-rendered content and changing site behavior.
  • Enforce data quality standards through validation checks, cross-source consistency controls, adherence to formatting specifications, and systematic verification prior to delivery.
  • Scale scraping operations for large datasets using efficient batching or parallelization, monitor failures, and maintain stability against minor site structure changes.

Requirements

  • At least 5+ years of relevant experience in data engineering, web scraping, automation, or software development.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related technical fields is a plus.
  • Strong technical foundation and practical experience with scripting, automation, and AI-assisted workflows.
  • Ability to solve non-trivial problems.
  • Confidence working with LLMs.
  • Ability to systematically collect, structure, and validate data from diverse sources.
  • Methodical, detail-oriented approach.
  • Ability to work independently.
  • Strong experience in Python web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Selenium or similar), including dynamic content (JS, AJAX, infinite scroll) and APIs via proxies.
  • Proven ability to extract data from complex structures (hierarchies, archived pages, inconsistent HTML).
  • Solid background in data cleaning, normalization, and validation, delivering structured datasets (CSV, JSON, Google Sheets).
  • Demonstrated experience handling anti-bot mechanisms and dynamic site structures at scale.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent) and containerization (Docker) as part of real workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks (LangChain, OpenRouter, or similar) applied to automation tasks.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy.
  • Self-directed work ethic with ability to troubleshoot independently.
  • A link to GitHub is a plus.
  • English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above.
