Senior Python Data Scraping Engineer (Freelance)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential technology organization seeking a Senior Python Data Scraping Engineer for a specialized freelance engagement. This remote role focuses on building and maintaining sophisticated web scraping workflows that deliver high-quality structured data for real-world applications.

This is a part-time freelance position ideal for technical professionals with deep expertise in web scraping, data extraction, and processing. You'll work independently on complex data collection challenges, applying your technical precision to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end data extraction workflows across complex websites, ensuring complete coverage, accuracy, and reliable delivery of structured datasets
• Leverage available tools and 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 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

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

• At least 5+ years of relevant experience in data engineering, web scraping, automation, or software development
• Strong experience in Python web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Selenium or similar), including dynamic content (JS, AJAX, infinite scroll) and APIs via proxies
• Proven ability to extract data from complex structures (hierarchies, archived pages, inconsistent HTML)
• Solid background in data cleaning, normalization, and validation, delivering structured datasets (CSV, JSON, Google Sheets)
• Demonstrated experience handling anti-bot mechanisms and dynamic site structures at scale
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent) and containerization (Docker) as part of real workflows
• Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks (LangChain, OpenRouter, or similar) applied to automation tasks
• 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

Preferred:

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related technical fields
• GitHub profile demonstrating relevant projects

Location: Remote (Georgia)

Time Commitment: Approximately 10–20 hours per week during active project phases (estimate, not guaranteed)
