Python Automation Engineer

**🧾 Job Title: Python Automation Engineer** **📍 Location: Remote (Albania/Kosovo)** **🕒 Schedule: Part-time/Full-time | Monday – Friday, 16:00-20.00/15.00-23.00** We’re looking for an experienced Python Automation Engineer to transform fragile, UI-driven portal automations into reliable, HTTP-first systems that run consistently in the cloud. This is **not an entry-level role** ; we need someone who can take full ownership, make independent decisions, and drive projects from start to finish. **About the Role** In this role, you’ll design, build, and maintain Python-based automations that securely log into third-party web portals, extract data, and download files. You will focus on backend-request-based automations instead of brittle UI scraping, ensuring reliability and scalability. You will also collaborate with cross-functional teams and clients, managing multiple automations and deployments with minimal guidance. **Key Responsibilities** - Build and maintain Python automations that authenticate into web portals and retrieve data via HTTP/XHR endpoints - Reverse-engineer web portals using browser DevTools (Network tab, HAR files) to understand underlying requests - Replace UI-driven automations with more reliable, maintainable, backend-request-based solutions - Implement retries, timeouts, error handling, logging, and re-run logic to maximize reliability - Deploy, schedule, and operate automations on cloud infrastructure (e.g., DigitalOcean), with monitoring and alerting - Add client-specific rules and configurations without creating one-off scripts - Debug failed runs, investigate portal changes, and restore automation stability independently - Document automation workflows and communicate progress clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders **What We’re Looking For** - Proven experience in managing complex projects, processes, or client-facing systems - Strong independent problem-solver who can take full ownership without step-by-step guidance - Solid Python experience for scripting and automation - Deep understanding of HTTP concepts, including sessions, cookies, headers, and authentication flows - Comfortable in Linux environments (cron jobs, services, log analysis, debugging) - Experience deploying and managing scripts in cloud infrastructure - Strong background in process optimization, cross-functional coordination, and supporting high-performing teams **Nice to Have / Bonus Skills** - Experience reducing bot/CAPTCHA triggers through smarter automation strategies - Familiarity with headless browsers as a fallback (Playwright, Selenium) - Managing multiple client automations in a shared codebase - Monitoring, alerting, or logging setup experience **Why Join Us** - Take ownership of complex, real-world automations - Work on scalable, reliable systems instead of fragile UI scraping - Collaborate with high-performing teams and cross-functional stakeholders - Influence process improvements and automation strategy 📩 **Interested?** Send your **CV in English** to hr@talentbridge.al with the subject line: “Python Automation Engineer".
