Desired Skills \& Experience

  • Experience with data quality checks or monitoring systems
  • Background working with product catalogs, pricing, or retail data
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, messy data environments
  • Experience collaborating with data or analytics teams

What You Will Be Doing Tech Breakdown

  • 60% Python (scrapers, internal tools, data quality checks)
  • 25% JavaScript (scraping-specific use cases)
  • 15% SQL \& monitoring tools

Daily Responsibilities

  • 70% Hands-on debugging, fixing scrapers, improving reliability
  • 20% Monitoring, prioritization, and communication
  • 10% Collaboration with data and product stakeholders

The Offer You Will Receive The Following Benefits
