• 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.

• Hands‑on experience with LLMs and AI frameworks to enhance automation and problem solving.
• 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.
