AI Engineer - Scraping

Brazil

Quorum is shaping the future of AI-Powered public affairs. As we expand our efforts to harness AI in scraping, parsing, and structuring legislative, regulatory, and government data across federal, all 50 states, and local levels, we’re seeking an AI Engineer with a builder’s mindset and a drive to make an impact. In this role, you’ll help design and scale a cutting-edge pipeline that uses large language models (LLMs) to transform complex, unstructured government data into clean, actionable insights.

As an AI Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in architecting and scaling GenAI systems that drive our AI-powered scraping infrastructure and its surrounding ecosystem. You will lead the design and implementation of a comprehensive data ingestion pipeline that spans federal, state, and local levels—leveraging LLMs (e.g., GPT-4) to extract structured information from legislative bills, regulatory documents, and procedural histories across diverse government websites.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you will own the end-to-end AI workflow— from web scraping and data preprocessing to prompt engineering, evaluation, and QA integration. Success in this role requires deep experience with AI-first development practices, LLM APIs, and the practical challenges of ensuring high-quality structured data at scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain a distributed scraping framework to ingest legislation and regulatory data across  federal, all states, and local levels.
  • Build and optimize LLM-powered pipelines to extract structured data (titles, sponsors, dates, history, status, etc.) from raw legislative content.
  • Develop robust prompt engineering patterns and schema-driven output formats to achieve 95%+ accuracy.
  • Build and maintain a schema drift monitoring framework, including weekly sampling and validation of outputs.
  • Set up automatic validation, confidence scoring (e.g., via Confident.ai), and routing of low-confidence records to manual review pipelines.
  • Make high-impact architectural decisions that balance performance, cost, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Stay current with emerging frameworks and tools, and champion pragmatic adoption where appropriate.
  • Influence best practices around AI-first development and clean service-oriented architecture.
  • Debug and optimize AI-powered features to improve accuracy, latency, and user experience.

You Should Have

  • 5+ years of engineering experience, including at least 1+ years shipping AI/LLM-based products in production.
  • Strong experience with Python (3.7+) and data validation libraries (Pydantic, jsonschema).
  • Proven ability to develop scalable ETL pipelines and web scrapers (Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium).
  • Proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives and influence product direction.
  • Experience with vector databases and semantic search systems (OpenSearch, Qdrant, etc).
  • Strong understanding of embedding models, LLM-based systems, and RAG architectures.
  • Familiarity with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Bedrock.
  • Experience defining and iterating on LLM evaluation metrics, evaluation sets, production feedback loops, optimizing for precision, recall, and real-world accuracy.
  • Excellent collaboration skills—you can work closely with product managers, UX designers, and cross-functional engineers.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; able to influence through documentation and discussion.
  • Experience in an AI-First engineering environment with tools like Github Copilot, Augment, or Cursor.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Django or similar Python web frameworks.
  • Frontend experience (TypeScript/React) with AI-first interfaces.
  • Domain familiarity in civic tech, legal tech, or policy-driven environments.

Why You’ll Love Working at Quorum

  • Work on one of the most ambitious and impactful GenAI initiatives in civic tech.
  • Lead the charge on greenfield systems and technical innovation—not just maintenance.
  • Join a tight-knit, fast-moving, mission-driven engineering team.
  • Generous benefits, flexible time off, and a deep culture of learning, collaboration, and support.

Quorum Is Working to Advance Pay Equity: What Does That Mean For You?

In an effort to continue to build a diverse and inclusive work environment that advances pay equity, Quorum has implemented a “No Negotiation” policy for base salary for new hires for roles that are currently staffed by three or more team members. This means that candidates for the Fullstack Software Engineer II role cannot negotiate Quorum’s base salary offer.

Here’s our promise to you:

  • We will not ask you what you are currently earning.
  • We will consider years of relevant experience, relevant professional certifications/education, and performance expectations in setting what we believe is a competitive, fair base salary offer.
  • We will be transparent about our compensation structure (see above) so that all candidates have equal access to compensation information and can make an informed decision about whether or not Quorum is the right workplace for them.

If you are interested in learning more about how negotiation impacts pay equity and/or why other start-ups have decided to implement a “No Negotiation” policy of some type, here are a few resources: Project Include, AAUW, Ministry for Women, Magoosh.

Note: Quorum does not endorse or verify any of the information provided in the resources on the impact of negotiation on pay equity. We provide these resources simply to increase awareness of a topic we believe is important for both employers and candidates to consider.  

We comply with all requirements for US government federal contractors issued by the OFCCP, IFR, and the terms of our government contracts.

SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF VETERAN STATUS 

Quorum is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans.

These classifications are defined 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 pursuant to Executive Order 12985. 

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed above, please indicate by making the appropriate selection for the veteran status question below.

VOLUNTARY SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF DISABILITY

Form CC-305 / OMB Control Number 1250-0005 / Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
