The Job

We’re looking for a data engineer who can take ownership over data extraction processes.

The HeroHunt.ai product is fueled by real-time access to public data.

The most important function of the data engineer is to improve our access to (profile) data, real-time and at scale.

Requirements:

• Must haves: data scraping / crawling
• Nice to haves: Puppeteer, Python, captcha, TypeScript, Parsing 
• English: speaking and writing professional sufficiency
• Preferable: Product driven startup or scaleup experience

Experience:

• 3 - 8 years experience in data engineering related positions. This may be partly from a serious hobby. If experience is partly from hobby, you must be able to showcase the products you built.

Our values

HeroHunt.ai is a company of free thinkers who love to learn. As a team we prioritize iterative learning and experimentation because we believe in the long term this leads to better product and a better business.

We take ownership over our deliverables by default. This makes us independent and responsible professionals who grow consistently personally and professionally, while having the freedom for our creativity, eagerness to build and overall joy in our work.

We all feel responsible that everyone involved finds joy in their work.

Our team

We are a growing team, currently still small with the two co-founders and a team of 7.

The founders you’ll work with on a day-to–day basis:

Lucian Simo (Co-founder, CTO and hiring manager for this position)

Yuma Heymans (Co-founder & CEO)

We’re entirely bootstrapped and a profitable company.

How we work (remote)

We are a remote-first team. We work both synchronously (overlapping work times) as async (no overlapping work times). Generally speaking, most of the time is synchronous so you can communicate real-time.

We don’t cut on software costs which means you will have all the tools available that you need to do your work (Slack, automation software, other subscriptions).

We work with sprints of two weeks in which we finish our tickets (deliverables). Tickets are set every beginning of the sprint and estimated. We keep each other in check to whether we challenge ourselves hard enough and at the same time be realistic. 

We learn a bit more everyday on how to balance the right level of challenge and what’s realistic. That way we improve quickly as a team and as professionals.
