Hands-on experience building, debugging, and maintaining web scraping or data extraction infrastructure at scale.
Proficiency with scraping frameworks such as Selenium, Puppeteer, BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, or similar tools.
Familiarity with bot detection evasion, request infrastructure, or anti-scraping mitigation techniques.
