Senior Python Data Scraping Engineer (Freelance)

Project Overview

Join Mindrift as a Senior Data Scraping Engineer to help power the Tendem project. This freelance role is designed for experts who want to move beyond basic scripts and build high-performance data pipelines. You'll be responsible for navigating the most difficult parts of the web, ensuring that complex data is extracted, structured, and validated with surgical precision.

Why Vibe Coders Will Excel

This isn't a traditional 'type-every-line' role; Mindrift is specifically seeking specialists who use 'Vibecode' techniques to accelerate their output. By combining your Python expertise with tools like OpenRouter and LangChain, you'll be able to build intelligent agents that can handle dynamic JS-heavy sites and sophisticated anti-bot measures. It’s an ideal playground for someone who treats AI as their primary pair programmer to solve non-trivial data challenges.
