Alt Platform Inc - Data Engineer, Ingestion Platform

• 3-4 years in data engineering or a closely adjacent seat. • Modern web scraping at scale — Playwright or comparable, plus the ability to impersonate a real browser at the network layer (TLS/request fingerprinting) when a plain HTTP client gets flagged. Selenium alone doesn't cut it anymore. • Strong Python, 3+ years hands-on. Solid SQL for analysis and transformation. • A pipeline you owned end to end in the past two years. Not a pipeline you contributed to. One that was yours when it broke. • Judgment on when to generalize and when to go bespoke — you don't rebuild the same infrastructure per source, and you don't force a one-size-fits-all approach onto a source that needs custom handling. • Orchestration in your hands, not your resume. Airflow, Dagster, or a comparable DAG system — you've built on it, been paged for it, and cleaned up after it. • Cloud development experience (AWS, GCP). • LLM-based extraction and processing at scale (e.g. LLM-as-a-Judge, Agent loops), not just UI-based Q&A and simple Skill building. • Startup experience. You understand the pace, and you've worked somewhere the roadmap changed under you. • A pragmatic bias. Value delivered incrementally over the perfect rebuild. • Bonus: large-scale dataframe processing (Pandas, Polars, PySpark). You collect, or you have opinions about the collectibles market. • Bonus: • How We'll Interview You: • We'll be specific so you can prepare. Before any of it: download the app, put a card up, make a bid, or put a card up for sell. Every round assumes you've used the product, and we expect your point of view to sharpen as you go. • 1.
