Python Developer – Web Scraping & Automation

We are a U.S.-based real estate investment company specializing in wholesaling and distressed property acquisitions. We generate leads from public records (probates, pre-foreclosures, tax delinquent properties, etc.) across multiple counties in Ohio and Texas.

We are looking for a skilled Python developer to build and maintain a scraping & automation system that pulls leads from county websites, processes them, and pushes them directly into our CRM.

???? Responsibilities

Build modular web scrapers in Python (Playwright/Selenium + requests/httpx) for county websites.

Parse and extract structured data (case numbers, property addresses, owner names, executor names, attorneys, filing dates, etc.).

Handle a variety of formats (HTML tables, PDFs, scanned docs with OCR).

Design scrapers to use config files (so we can add new counties easily).

Implement error handling & retries (sites can be slow or change formats).

Export all data into a standardized schema (CSV/JSON).

Push leads into Google Sheets ? CRM

Set up automated scheduling (cron jobs / n8n / task queues).

Maintain existing scrapers when county websites update.

Document code and create clear SOPs for future developers.

? Qualifications

Strong Python experience (3+ years preferred).

Experience with Playwright/Selenium for dynamic sites.

Familiarity with httpx/requests + BeautifulSoup/parsel/selectolax for static pages.

Experience parsing PDFs (pdfplumber, camelot, tabula) and OCR (pytesseract).

Understanding of data pipelines (pandas, exporting to CSV/JSON/Google Sheets).

Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and integrations (FastAPI/Flask a plus).

Experience with task scheduling/orchestration (cron, Celery, RQ, or n8n/Zapier).

Familiarity with Docker is a plus.

Good English communication, reliable internet, and willingness to work U.S. hours overlap (at least 2–3 hrs).

???? Bonus Skills

Knowledge of U.S. county public records (probate, foreclosure, tax delinquent) is a strong advantage.

Experience integrating with CRMs or real estate tools.

Prior work in lead generation / real estate tech.

???? What We Offer

Stable, long-term role with growth opportunities.

Performance bonuses for delivering projects on time.

Flexible hours, as long as deadlines are met.

Opportunity to work on scalable automation projects with real impact.
