  • Solid background in data cleaning, normalization, and validation with structured output formats such as CSV, JSON, or Google Sheets.
  • Demonstrated experience handling anti-bot mechanisms and dynamic site structures at scale.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS and containerization with Docker in real workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, OpenRouter, or similar tools for automation tasks.
  • English proficiency at Upper-intermediate (B2) level or above.
  • A GitHub link is a plus.
  • Ability to work independently with a methodical, detail-oriented approach.
  • Strong technical foundation with practical experience in scripting, automation, and AI-assisted workflows.
