Mindrift is looking for highly skilled Senior Python Data Scraping Engineers to join the Tendem project and drive specialized data‑scraping workflows within our hybrid AI + human system. This part‑time remote opportunity is ideal for technical professionals with hands‑on experience in web scraping, data extraction, and processing. In this role you will collaborate with Tendem Agents that handle repetitive tasks, while you provide critical thinking, domain expertise, and quality control to deliver accurate and actionable results.
Key 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, work confidently with LLMs, and systematically collect, structure, and validate data from diverse sources.
- 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).
- 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.
- GitHub link is a plus.
- English proficiency: Upper‑intermediate (B2) or above.
