• Handle cleaning of web data and ensure data quality, validation, and governance across ingestion, storage, and serving layers
• Optimize scraping systems for performance, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency
• Monitor, debug, and improve scraping system reliability using observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing)
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver features from design through full end-to-end production deployment
• Take independent ownership of systems in production, including maintenance, iteration and performance management

Core Technical Requirements:

• Experience with web scraping
• Strong SQL skills
• Strong Python experience
• Experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
• Experience designing and building scalable APIs and backend services (e.g. FastAPI, Django, or similar frameworks)
• Experience designing efficient, scalable data models and database schemas
