Professional Web Scraper

We're seeking a talented Web Scraper to join our UK based team! The role will be on a project by project basis, as and when we have scraping needs.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

The first project will involve scraping images and text from behind a login. You will develop a scraper using known technologies/libraries and scrape up to a million images. This will be done quietly and with respect to the site owners, so you will need knowledge of proxies and ability to scrape like a natural user.

WHO YOU ARE

Talented developer with previous scraping experience
Experience using scraping libraries
Experience setting up scraping infrastructure including hosting, databases, proxies etc
Good English proficiency
Self-starter who's comfortable with taking initiative
Reliable and responsive
A great communicator who takes control of your inbox and other channels
Someone that doesn’t need to be chased or micromanaged

WHY WORK WITH US

We’re a growing software company based in the UK.

You’ll be working directly with me, the company founder, a serial entrepreneur based in the UK.

We’re a friendly bunch and are looking for someone who is the same.

NEXT STEPS

After the initial screening process, I’ll give you some paid test assignments to see if we’re a good fit, and go from there.

To show us that you're serious about this opportunity, please include “FATHER TED” in your subject line.

Important: In your application, please tell me about your previous web scraping experience. What did the setup look like? How many items did you scrape? What issues did you have to overcome etc?
