  • Architect scraping pipelines using serverless AWS components such as Lambda, Step Functions, S3, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager.
  • Build systems that scale to support high volumes of data extraction with fault tolerance, retries, and intelligent logging.
  • Integrate and manage complex workflows across multiple portals, APIs, and data sources.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions, tooling, and best practices.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience
  • 10+ years of experience in Python development, with a strong focus on automation and data extraction
  • Proven expertise in web scraping using tools like Playwright, Selenium, Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, and requests
  • In-depth experience handling multi-step authentication flows, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), CAPTCHA solving, and session or cookie management
  • Proficient in deploying and managing scraping workloads in AWS, particularly Lambda, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager
  • Experience with asynchronous programming, headless browsers, and JavaScript-rendered content
  • Solid understanding of web protocols (i.e. HTTP, HTTPS, cookies, headers), and the ability to reverse-engineer network calls and authentication mechanisms
  • Comfortable working with APIs, JSON/XML, and data transformation
  • Experience with CI or CD pipelines, Docker, and infrastructure as code (i.e. CloudFormation, Terraform)
  • Familiar with data pipeline orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow or AWS Step Functions
  • Prior experience scraping from secure or enterprise-level portals (i.e. financial, healthcare, legal)
  • Background in data engineering or ETL workflows is a plus
  • Exposure to Python testing frameworks and writing unit or integration tests

iCapital Voluntary Self-Identification Questions [U.S. Only]

Candidates are invited to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in iCapital Network ’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, and you voluntarily decide to complete this survey, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. We request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
