Clio is seeking a Content Developer Engineer in JavaScript to help build and maintain reliable data-collection pipelines that gather information from the public web and partner sources. This role is essential to growing the company’s legal-content moat by ensuring acquisition systems are accurate, scalable, up to date, and resilient to change.
In this role, you will design and operate crawlers and scrapers, handling diverse content types—including HTML, JSON, XML, PDFs, and images—to transform extracted data into structured formats used downstream by our systems. You will collaborate closely with engineering and product stakeholders to deliver high-quality content pipelines that power Clio’s research features.
Pipeline, Infrastructure & Technology Stewardship
Build, maintain, and improve web crawlers and scrapers using modern Node.js tooling such as Puppeteer and Playwright.
Implement robust scraping strategies for both static and dynamic websites, utilizing browser automation where required.
Work confidently with HTTP and FTP protocols, handling requests/responses, authentication, headers, caching, and rate limiting.
Ensure content pipelines are resilient by implementing structured error handling, retries, and schema validation.
Data Normalization & Transformation
Parse and transform inputs from multiple formats, including HTML/XHTML, XML, JSON, PDFs, Word documents, and images.
Convert extracted content into pre-defined schemas with consistent validation to ensure data integrity for downstream systems.
Work with various data storage systems, including both relational and NoSQL databases, to manage acquired datasets.
Quality Assurance & Documentation
Write unit and integration tests for crawlers and parsers to maintain quality standards and ensure deterministic runs.
Produce clear technical documentation, including setup instructions, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides for edge cases.
Contribute to peer code reviews and maintain test fixtures to make systems easier to operate and extend.
Collaboration & Project Stewardship
Partner with engineering and product leads to clarify requirements, share progress, and raise risks early in the development cycle.
Use project management tools like DevOps or Linear to plan, track, and communicate work effectively.
Demonstrate the ability to work autonomously and turn high-level requirements into executable tasks.
1–3 years of hands-on experience (or equivalent through degree/bootcamp) in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js.
Practical experience using web scraping libraries such as Puppeteer or Playwright and HTTP clients like fetch or axios.
Proven experience parsing and transforming structured or semi-structured data (JSON, XML, HTML).
Excellent communication and documentation abilities in English.
