Data Automation Engineer

Join Forage AI as a Data Automation Engineer! In this role, you will work with an
amazingly passionate team of data scientists and engineers who are striving to achieve
a pioneering vision.

Responsibilities:
Our web crawling team is very unique in the industry - while we have many “single-site”
crawlers, our unique proposition and technical efforts are all geared towards building
“generic” bots that can crawl and parse data from thousands of websites, all using the
same code. This requires a whole different level of thinking, planning, and coding.
Here’s what you’ll do -
● Build, improve, and run our generic robots to extract data from both the web and
documents – handling critical information among a wide variety of structures and
formats without error.
● Derive common patterns from semi-structured data, build code to handle them,
and be able to deal with exceptions as well.
● Be responsible for the live execution of our robots, managing turnaround times,
exceptions, QA, and delivery, and building a bleeding-edge infrastructure to
handle volume and scope.
Requirements:
● Either hands-on experience with, or relevant certifications in the Robotic Process
Automation tools, preferably Kofax Kapow, Automation Anywhere, UIPath,
BluePrism, OR crawling purely in Python and relevant libraries.
● 1-3 years of experience with building, running, and maintaining crawlers.
● Successfully worked on projects that delivered 99+% accuracy despite a wide
variety of formats.
● Excellent SQL or MongoDB/ElasticSearch skills and familiarity with Regular
Expressions, Data Mining, Cloud Infrastructure, etc.

Other Infrastructure Requirements

● High-speed internet connectivity for video calls and efficient work.
● Capable business-grade computer (e.g., modern processor, 8 GB+ of RAM, and
no other obstacles to interrupted, efficient work).
● Headphones with clear audio quality.
● Stable power connection and backups in case of internet/power failure.
