Role Overview:
Data Extraction Engineer designs extraction systems (and not just scripts). They build and maintain a next-generation data acquisition platform that treats web scraping as a declarative, specification-driven discipline.

Key Responsibilities:
Specification-Driven Extraction Engineering-
Design and maintain declarative extraction specifications—using Pydantic models, JSON schemas, or domain-specific languages—that describe exactly which fields to capture, their types, and validation rules.
Implement pipelines that translate these specifications into executable extraction plans, leveraging both classical (Scrapy, Playwright) and AI-augmented (LLM-based semantic parsing) backends.
