Nice to Have * Experience with mobile app API reverse engineering (in addition to web). * Background in adversarial ML or anti-bot research (from either side). * Experience with distributed task queues (Celery, Kafka, SQS) for scraping orchestration. * Prior work in a data-as-a-service, alt-data, or web intelligence company. ## Description As an AI Web Scraping Engineer (Stealth Data Acquisition), you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining resilient, undetectable data collection systems at scale. This is not a "requests + BeautifulSoup" role - we need someone who has operated against modern anti-bot infrastructure (Cloudflare, PerimeterX, DataDome, Akamai, Kasada) and knows how to stay under the radar while extracting structured data reliably and continuously. You will integrate AI/LLM-based parsing to handle dynamic, unstructured, or frequently-changing page layouts and build self-healing scrapers that detect layout/DOM changes and adapt automatically. Responsibilities * Stealth Scraping Pipeline Development - Design, build, and maintain stealth-based scraping pipelines that evade bot detection, fingerprinting, and rate-limiting defenses. * Anti-Bot Reverse Engineering - Reverse-engineer target sites' anti-automation measures (TLS/JA3 fingerprinting, canvas/WebGL fingerprinting, behavioral detection) and build countermeasures. * Distributed Infrastructure Architecture - Architect distributed scraping infrastructure using rotating residential/mobile proxies, headless browser farms, and session/cookie management at scale. * AI-Powered Parsing Integration - Integrate AI/LLM-based parsing to handle dynamic, unstructured, or frequently-changing page layouts without brittle selectors. * Self-Healing Scraper Development - Build self-healing scrapers that detect layout/DOM changes and adapt automatically. * Monitoring & Iteration - Monitor scraper health, success rates, and detection signals; rapidly iterate when sites patch defenses. * Compliance & Legal Guardrails - Ensure data pipelines are compliant with client-defined legal and ethical guardrails (ToS review, robots.txt handling, rate limiting) as directed by Pinwheel's legal/compliance team. * Data Pipeline Collaboration - Collaborate with data engineering to deliver clean, structured, deduplicated datasets into downstream systems. ## Related Videos - [Scrape, Train, Predict: The Lifecycle of Data for AI Applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1652-scrape-train-predict-the-lifecycle-of-data-for-ai-applications) - [Celery on AWS ECS - the art of background tasks & continuous deployment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/561-celery-on-aws-ecs-the-art-of-background-tasks-continuous-deployment) - [Rendering Design Software in the Browser at Penpot](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1353-rendering-design-software-in-the-browser-at-penpot) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [From clicks to cribs - How to find your dream home with web scraping](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/767-from-clicks-to-cribs-how-to-find-your-dream-home-with-web-scraping) - [Walking into the era of Supply Chain Risks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/376-walking-into-the-era-of-supply-chain-risks) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [13 AI Tools You Have to Try](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/219-13-ai-tools-you-have-to-try)
