What does a Web scraping developer do?
The scraper developer (web scraping engineer) builds pipelines that extract, normalize and operate data from authorized web sources. This Relink Job Dictionary profile targets ads where the mandate is data acquisition, not generic software.
How critical is this role
Deep technical knowledge, hard to transfer.
Concentrated knowledge of web data sources and pipelines. If they leave, extractors keep running until a source changes—and then nobody can fix them in time.
A reference range based on our own search work in Chile, not a figure from a published study. It shifts with the salary offered, the location and any exclusivity requirement.
