Web crawling software developer
Description:
PostJobFree team downloads several million English-language jobs per month.
We need to find and download even more jobs.
Requirements:
1) Curiosity and critical thinking.
You should be able and willing to ask questions.
Please demonstrate that you are able to ask questions in your job application and in the follow-up interview.
Asking questions helps to find bugs in our system and business processes.
Asking questions is one of the best ways to get a solid understanding of how our system works and various problems we are trying to solve.
2) Extract job title, location, and job description from HTML page.
3) We use C#, but if your main language is C, C++, Java or Python that could be ok too.
4) Be a "finisher": focus on completing or closing tasks.
Just starting tasks is not enough.
5) Analytical thinking. Systems analysis/business analyst.
6) Good communication skills. Should be able to effectively communicate in the remote settings (Email + Telegram + Skype/Zoom voice + screen sharing).
7) Full-time (~40 hours per week) work.
The job is remote, but it is not a part-time.
Part-time developers, usually, do not have enough time to understand the system, and, as a result, are not effective.
We are looking for a full-time developer.
Desired skills:
1) Html parsing.
We use AngleSharp, but if you have experience with another parser - that is good too.
2) Writing and maintaining auto-tests (unit tests).
3) Navigate large C# codebase.
A big part of our work is to navigate our existing codebase in Visual Studio when troubleshooting an issue or researching how a new feature fits into existing solution.
3) Web debugging tools, such as Telerik Fiddler.
4) Writing and maintaining web crawler.
5) SQL.
6) Experience with working remotely.
This is a remote/telecommute job opening. Work from home.
Tools and technologies we use:
C#, SQL Server, Visual Studio .NET, ASP.NET, ElasticSearch, JavaScript, JSON, various APIs.
Team City/Continuous Integration/CI, Skype, Windows, Linux and more.
