## About the Role

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Web Programming, Loans, Application Programming Interface (API), Financial Services, Data Collection, Artificial Intelligence (AI), DOM (Document Object Model), Structured Data, Web Programming, * 4+ years building production web scraping systems at scale (not just scripts - real infrastructure).

 * Deep hands-on experience with headless browser automation (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium) including stealth plugins/patches.
 * Practical experience defeating or working around Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai Bot Manager, Kasada, or similar.
 * Strong understanding of TLS fingerprinting, HTTP/2 fingerprinting, canvas/WebGL fingerprinting, and browser fingerprint spoofing.
 * Experience with residential/mobile/datacenter proxy rotation and session management at scale.
 * Proficiency in Python and/or Node.js/TypeScript for scraping and orchestration.
 * Experience using LLMs/AI models for content extraction, parsing, and classification on messy/unstructured HTML.
 * Familiarity with CAPTCHA-solving approaches and detection-avoidance strategies.
 * Must be based in and authorized to work in the United States.
 * Must pass a standard background check prior to start.
 * Comfortable working in a fast-moving, iterative environment where target sites change defenses frequently.

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

* 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.
