  • Ensure reliable extraction from dynamic and interactive web sources, adapting approaches as needed to handle JavaScript-rendered content and changing site behavior

  • 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)
  • 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
  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related technical fields

Benefits
