📋 Description

• Design and build pipelines to collect supplier data and chemical product information (specifications, CAS numbers, certifications, SDS/regulatory documents, NAICS classification of manufacturing plants) from supplier sites, distributor catalogs, trade databases, and other public and semi-structured sources • Develop and maintain web scrapers and automated ETL workflows to keep supplier and product data current at scale • Clean, normalize, and reconcile inconsistent supplier data into structured, standardized formats suitable for internal tools and analytics • Apply chemical domain knowledge to validate and enrich data — resolving product names, CAS numbers, synonyms, and specifications across suppliers • Evaluate and improve matching and classification models to map suppliers and products to buyer requirements, and to identify overlapping or equivalent chemical offerings • Partner with Supplier Management and Engineering to define data quality standards, identify gaps in supplier coverage, and prioritize new data sources. • Own pipeline health and data quality, and drive the KPIs that measure overall data coverage

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a data science, data engineering, or applied data role, ideally with exposure to messy, real-world or industrial datasets. • Working knowledge of chemistry or chemical industry data — comfort with CAS numbers, chemical properties, SDS documents, NAICS classification, and supplier certifications • Strong Python skills, with experience building web scrapers and data pipelines • Experience with data cleaning and normalization at scale, and a good eye for spotting inconsistencies in unstructured data • Familiarity with building or applying matching, deduplication, or classification models (traditional ML or LLM-based approaches) • Hands-on experience using AI tools and LLMs to accelerate data extraction, enrichment, or engineering workflows • Startup mindset with a strong sense of ownership — comfortable working independently in a fast-moving, remote environment with ambiguous, evolving priorities
