  • 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)

Additional requirements

  • Demonstrated experience handling anti-bot mechanisms and dynamic site structures at scale
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent) and containerization (Docker) as part of real workflows
  • 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
  • A link to GitHub is a plus
