Mindrift is looking for highly skilled Vibecode specialists to join the Tendem project (https://tendem.ai) and drive specialized data scraping workflows within our hybrid AI + human system.

In this role, as an AI Pilot - that's how we refer to this role at Mindrift - you'll collaborate with Tendem Agents that handle repetitive tasks, while you provide critical thinking, domain expertise, and quality control to deliver accurate and actionable results.

This part-time remote opportunity is ideal for technical professionals with hands‑on experience in web scraping, data extraction and processing.

What We Do

The Mindrift platform connects specialists with AI projects from major tech innovators. Our mission is to unlock the potential of Generative AI by tapping into real‑world expertise from across the globe.

About The Role

This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a Vibe Code specialist, you'll handle data scraping tasks requiring technical precision for web extraction and processing, utilizing various tools such as our provided Apify and OpenRouter alongside your own resourceful approaches.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end data extraction workflows across complex websites, ensuring complete coverage, accuracy, and reliable delivery of structured datasets.
• Leverage internal tools (Apify, OpenRouter) alongside custom workflows to accelerate data collection, validation, and task execution while meeting defined requirements.
• 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.

How To Get Started

Simply apply to this post, qualify, and get the chance to contribute to projects that match your technical skills, on your own schedule. From coding and automation to fine‑tuning AI outputs, you'll play a key role in advancing AI capabilities and real‑world applications.

Requirements

• At least 1 year of relevant experience in data analysis, AI automation, data engineering, or software development is desirable.
• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related technical fields is a plus.
• Python web scraping: Build reliable scraping scripts using BeautifulSoup, Selenium (or equivalents) for multi‑level sites, dynamic JS content (infinite scroll, AJAX), and API endpoints via provided proxy.
• Data extraction expertise: Navigate complex hierarchical structures (regions → companies → details), handling archived pages and varied HTML formats.
• Data processing: Clean, normalize, and validate scraped data; deliver high‑quality datasets in well‑structured formats (CSV, JSON, Google Sheets) with clear, consistent presentation.
• 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 (required).

• Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $24/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs.
• Work fully remote on your own schedule with just a laptop and stable internet connection.
• Gain hands‑on experience in a unique hybrid environment where human expertise and AI agents collaborate seamlessly — a distinctive skill set in a rapidly growing field.
• Participate in performance‑based bonus programs that reward high‑quality work and consistent delivery.
