# Software Engineer, Data Acquisition

The Opportunity You'll own the systems that feed Nascent's trading and research operations with the data they need to compete - building and operating the web scraping and data acquisition infrastructure that runs 24/7 across a heterogeneous fleet of machines, providers, and operating systems. This is a roughly 50/50 split between software engineering and operations: half your time you're writing production code (primarily Rust) to build new scrapers, defeat anti-bot countermeasures, and architect resilient pipelines; the other half you're deep in logs, monitoring dashboards, and fleet health - diagnosing failures, tuning proxies, and keeping a distributed system humming across mixed infrastructure. You'll work closely with analysts and researchers who depend on the data you deliver. The problems are genuinely interesting: every major website is actively trying to stop you, infrastructure spans multiple cloud providers and bare metal, and the surface area of what breaks is enormous. The team has a growing analyst presence in Montreal and in-person collaboration matters so this is on onsite role in our Montreal office. Responsibilities Build and maintain production-grade web scrapin
