  • Solid background in data cleaning, normalization, and validation, with delivery of structured datasets 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 or equivalent and containerization with Docker.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, OpenRouter, or similar for automation tasks.
  • English proficiency at Upper-intermediate (B2) level or above.
  • A GitHub link is a plus.
  • Methodical, detail-oriented, and able to work independently while troubleshooting issues on your own.
