Senior Python Data Scraping Engineer (Freelance)

The Role: AI-Driven Data Architecture

Mindrift is seeking a freelance expert to lead complex data harvesting operations for the Tendem project. This isn't a typical scraping job; you will be architecting end-to-end workflows that transform chaotic web data into structured assets for AI training. The focus is on using intelligent automation to navigate interactive sites, ensuring high-fidelity data delivery at scale while working in a fully remote, flexible environment.

Vibe Coding & Technical Stack

This role is tailor-made for engineers who excel at using AI tools to multiply their output. You will combine core Python libraries like BeautifulSoup and Selenium with modern AI orchestration frameworks like LangChain and OpenRouter. This stack allows you to leverage 'vibe coding' techniques—using LLMs to solve difficult extraction puzzles, bypass anti-bot measures, and automate data validation. Experience with AWS and Docker ensures your AI-driven workflows are robust and ready for production.

Compensation and Flexibility

As a senior-level contributor, you can earn up to $45 per hour in a role that values the pace and precision of your work. This is a freelance opportunity typically requiring 10-20 hours per week, offering the perfect balance for a developer who wants to work on high-impact AI technology without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5. If you have a deep background in automation and a GitHub that showcases your ability to build with AI, Mindrift wants your expertise.
