Mindrift is looking for highly skilled Python Data Scraping Engineers to join the Tendem project and drive specialized data scraping workflows within our hybrid AI + human system. As an AI Pilot – our internal title for this role – you will collaborate with Tendem Agents, providing critical thinking, domain expertise, and quality control to deliver accurate, actionable results. This part‑time remote opportunity is ideal for technical professionals with experience in web scraping, data extraction, and processing.
From coding and automation to fine‑tuning AI outputs, you’ll play a key role in advancing AI capabilities and real‑world applications.

- Leverage internal tools (Apify, Open Router) alongside 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 as needed 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.
Contributors can earn up to $32 per hour equivalent, depending on level and pace of contribution. Compensation varies by project scope, complexity, and required expertise.
Qualifications- At least 3 years of relevant experience in data engineering, web scraping, automation, or software development.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related technical fields is a plus.
- Strong experience in Python web scraping (Beautiful Soup, 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).
- Hands‑on experience with LLMs and AI frameworks to enhance automation and problem solving.
- 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.
- Fully remote work with flexible schedule; just a laptop and stable internet connection.
- Opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in a hybrid environment where human expertise and AI agents collaborate.
- Performance‑based bonus programs rewarding high‑quality work and consistent delivery.
