Senior Python Data Scraping Engineer (Freelance)

The Opportunity: AI-Powered Data Extraction

Join the Tendem project at Mindrift as a freelance engineer focused on modernizing the way we harvest web data. You will move beyond basic scripting to design sophisticated extraction workflows that power high-quality AI training. This role is specifically designed for developers who understand how to pair traditional Python scraping tools with cutting-edge AI orchestration.

The Tech Stack & Vibe

This isn't your standard scraping job; you'll be leveraging a 'Vibecode' approach by integrating:

• AI Orchestration: Using OpenRouter and LangChain to automate complex logic.
• Advanced Scraping: Deploying Apify, Selenium, and BeautifulSoup via AI-assisted workflows.
• Scalable Infrastructure: Managing Dockerized environments on AWS.

You will be responsible for bypassing bot protections and turning messy, dynamic JavaScript sites into clean, structured datasets ready for AI consumption.

Role Details & Growth

This freelance position offers a flexible 10–20 hour weekly commitment with a competitive hourly rate. It is ideal for senior engineers who have a 'maker' mindset and prefer using LLMs to accelerate their output. If you have 5+ years of experience and a portfolio that shows you can solve hard problems using modern AI tools, this is your chance to shape the data layer of the AI revolution.
