  • Ensure reliable extraction from dynamic and interactive web sources, including JavaScript-rendered content and changing site behavior.
  • Enforce data quality standards through validation checks, cross-source consistency controls, formatting compliance, and systematic verification before delivery.
  • Scale scraping operations for large datasets through efficient batching or parallelization and maintain stability against minor site structure changes.

  • Strong experience in Python web scraping using BeautifulSoup, Selenium, or similar tools, including dynamic content, JavaScript, AJAX, infinite scroll, and API access via proxies.
  • Proven ability to extract data from complex structures such as hierarchies, archived pages, and inconsistent HTML.
  • Solid background in data cleaning, normalization, and validation, with experience delivering structured datasets in CSV, JSON, or Google Sheets.
  • Demonstrated experience handling anti-bot mechanisms and dynamic site structures at scale.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS or equivalent and containerization with Docker in real workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, OpenRouter, or similar tools applied to automation tasks.
  • Strong attention to detail, commitment to data accuracy, and the ability to work independently.
  • Upper-intermediate English proficiency (B2) or above is required.
  • A link to GitHub is a plus.

  • Estimated workload of around 10–20 hours per week during active project phases.
