Scrapinghub Ltd. is looking for Python Engineers, Data Scientists, Erlang Engineers and more: https://scrapinghub.com/jobs
Quick summary of the open positions:
- Python Engineer (scraping): you’ll be in charge of designing, developing and testing Scrapy web crawlers.
- Data Scientist: you will work on NLP, record matching, clustering and classification of semi-structured data, leveraging massive datasets.
- Erlang Engineer: you will work developing and maintaining a high load distributed system.
We're a fully distributed company with more than 100 engineers and staff. Based around open source, we maintain Scrapy, Portia, Webstruct, Frontera, and other tools made for crawling and scraping massive web datasets– everyone at SH helps makes these projects grow, and we offer to pay you to work on open source if you have the right skills (though everyone inside the company is encouraged to contribute).
You'll have the chance to work on projects that harvest and transfer datasets of thousands of millions of records, as well as build some of the systems that will deliver data to current Fortune 500 companies and the startups that are building great products on top of our stack.
We have a very engineering-driven culture (two engineer-founders) and a great place to work if you're self-directed, curious, and interested in working in open source environments. More on Open Source at Scrapinghub: http://scrapinghub.com/opensource/.
We've been growing a lot during the past two years and we're looking for great additions to our team, wherever you're located! Positions outside Ireland are on a contracting basis, equivalent to full-time (160 hours per month).
Application process consists of two rounds of interviews and a small programming trial (done at your own time/pace, not live).
