Web Scraping + ongoing maintenance
Worldwide
Web Scraping Specialist — advanced web scraping + ongoing maintenance I run an industrial container reconditioning and freight business. I need a scraping specialist to build AND maintain advanced web scrapers that pull product listings from a range of online sources into a structured pipeline (Airtable). This is ongoing — maintenance IS the job, not an afterthought. ONLY APPLY if you can confidently say YES to ALL of these, with examples: 1. Scrape sites with aggressive anti-bot / bot-detection protection — kept running long-term 2. Handle login-walled / account-gated sources — including session and disposable-account management 3. Scrape general web / B2B sources 4. Deliver clean structured data into Airtable (or via API / webhook) 5. Ongoing maintenance when scrapers break — proxies, account rotation, detection handling If any of those is a "maybe" or "I'd figure it out," we're not a fit — please don't apply. HONEST NOTE: several of the target sources have aggressive anti-bot systems and change frequently — scrapers break and need active upkeep. I need someone who has actually run hardened scraping in production, not theorized about it. LIKELY STACK: Python, Selenium / Playwright / Scrapy, proxy infrastructure, Apify or similar — tell me yours. HOW TO APPLY: for EACH item 1–5, tell me — have you done it, how, and a link/example. Then: your maintenance/retainer model, availability, and rough rate. TERMS: build in my accounts where applicable, IP mine, milestone-based, NDA before the detailed spec. Short call first.
