Freelance Web Scraping Engineer (Vibe Coding)

Evolution of the Web Scraper

Mindrift is moving beyond traditional web scraping by hiring 'AI Pilots' to manage the Tendem project. In this remote-first role, you won't just be writing scripts; you'll be designing intelligent workflows that utilize AI agents to handle the repetitive aspects of data collection. Your goal is to oversee the end-to-end extraction process, ensuring that the structured data delivered is both accurate and scalable.

AI-First Toolkit

The tech stack here is a dream for those who lean into AI-assisted development. You will leverage:

• LLM Orchestration: Use OpenRouter to apply large language models to complex data parsing problems.
• Modern Automation: Deploy Apify alongside Python-based tools like BeautifulSoup and Selenium to navigate dynamic web content.
• Vibe-Driven Efficiency: Shift your focus from writing every line of code to validating outputs and refining the 'vibe' of your automated agents.

Flexibility and Growth

This is a freelance opportunity offering up to $32/hour, allowing you to work on your own schedule from anywhere in the United Kingdom. It provides a rare chance to gain professional experience in a hybrid human-AI system, a skill set that is increasingly in demand as companies move toward AI-integrated engineering departments. If you have at least a year of experience in automation or data engineering and possess strong English skills (B2+), this is your chance to pilot the future of web data.
