Python Job: Python and Node.JS Engineer (Web-Scraping)(Kompyte

Hi there!
We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers.
And this is our Python and Node.JS Engineer role for those who want to turn ideas into reality using code, algorithms, and maybe a bit of magic.

Tasks in the role

As a Python and Node.JS Engineer, you will be responsible for implementing and supporting Kompyte’s web scraping tools. You will implement both site-specific and site-agnostic navigation and interactions. You will also implement cloaking tools to bypass bot-detection systems. Efficiency and scalability is also a must, as you will be dealing with huge amounts of data that is inter-related among hundreds of websites. We implement our own low-level web-crawling and web-scraping tools, so you will have to understand how Browsers (Chrome) work internally and debug 3rd-party code

Who we are looking for

• 2+ years in a similar role (web-scraping, information retrieval/extraction)
• Proficient in Python 3
• Proficient in modern Javascript (Browser & Node.JS)
• Deep understanding of modern web technologies and Web APIs: ECMAScript 7, Web Animations, WebSockets API, Web Workers API, MutationObserver/IntersectionObserver API
• Awareness of software design patterns. Clean coding
• Experience with web-crawling / web-scrapping tools: Puppeteer, Scrapy, Selenium, Chrome DevTools Protocol, PyQuery, Cheerio
• Software Testing and Debugging
• Autonomous Work, Fast Learning
• Ability to communicate in English
