• Ensure the team builds and maintains reliable web crawlers and scrapers using Node.js, Puppeteer, Playwright, and other modern tooling.
• Guide the implementation of resilient scraping strategies, including retries, throttling, schema validation, and robust error handling.
• Oversee infrastructure and operational readiness, ensuring pipelines remain performant, observable, and easy to maintain.
• Plan improvements to pipeline infrastructure, storage systems, and integration points in partnership with engineering.
• Ensure extracted data (HTML, JSON, XML, PDF, Word, images, etc.) is accurately transformed into structured schemas.
• Establish standards for normalization, validation, and testing across all content development work.
• Oversee automated test coverage, deterministic pipeline behavior, and documentation of edge cases.
• Lead root‑cause analysis for recurring data‑quality issues and drive long‑term fixes.

Qualifications

• Deep experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and scraping frameworks such as Puppeteer or Playwright.
• Experience with parsing structured or semi‑structured data (HTML, JSON, XML), and operating within relational or NoSQL data storage systems.

• Top‑tier medical and dental coverage at preferred employee pricing for you and your family, with access from Day1.
• Flexible hybrid work environment with intentional in‑person gatherings to build connection.
