  • 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.

  • 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.
  • English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above.

Skills

  • Python web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Selenium or similar)
  • Dynamic content scraping (JS, AJAX, infinite scroll)
  • API data extraction via proxies
  • Data extraction from complex structures (hierarchies, archived pages, inconsistent HTML)
  • Data cleaning, normalization, and validation
