• Developing and supporting parsing services across web, mobile, and API targets
• Reverse-engineering web and mobile applications and their APIs to enable reliable data collection
• Building anti-bot bypass logic and resilient request pipelines
• Using LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to extract and structure unstructured data
• Performing code review, refactoring, and writing technical documentation
• Owning a defined area of services end-to-end, from research to production

• Anti-bot bypass: Real-world experience defeating anti-bot and anti-scraping protections
• Networking: Deep understanding of the HTTP protocol; confident with regular expressions
• AI for data extraction: Production experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) and prompt engineering for extracting and structuring data
• AI-assisted parser development: Practical experience using LLMs to design, write, and accelerate the development of parsers themselves
• Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch); confident with ORMs
• Testing: Pytest, unit and integration testing as a habit

• Mobile app reverse engineering experience (Android/iOS traffic interception, deobfuscation, etc.)
• Computer vision experience for image-based data analysis
• Working knowledge of additional languages: Go, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript
• Docker and Docker Compose in daily workflow
• CI/CD with GitLab CI or GitHub Actions
• Kubernetes for service deployment and orchestration

Benefits

• Remote-first setup: work from anywhere in the world (excluding Russia and Belarus)
