About the role

Research Engineer role focused on large-scale web crawling to source high-quality data for frontier AI models. Own crawling systems, solve complex crawling challenges, and build pipelines to convert crawled data into clean, training-ready datasets.

Responsibilities

  • Building and operating large-scale, distributed web crawlers that discover, fetch, and extract data across billions of pages reliably and efficiently.
  • Solving hard crawling problems such as content extraction from messy HTML, deduplication at web scale, freshness and recrawl strategies, and politeness and rate-limit handling.
  • Designing targeted crawling pipelines that find high-value data sources, including audio, video, and multilingual content, and turn them into clean training-ready datasets.
  • Creating tooling and infrastructure that lets researchers request, monitor, and explore newly crawled web data quickly and reliably.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience building and scaling web crawlers or scraping systems, ideally in support of machine learning training data.
  • Strong engineering skills in distributed systems at scale (e.g., Kubernetes, queue-based architectures, or custom pipelines processing billions of documents).
  • The capacity to autonomously evaluate the quality, coverage, and compliance of crawled data, and to build the tooling to measure it.
