The goal is to create a price comparison website for insurances. This project serves the purpose of doing searches on insurance provider’s homepages, screen scraping the relevant data, and returning the aggregated results as JSON data. This project does not include creating the website, only providing the data that the website will use. It will include scraping some sample websites but you will not be required to screen large amounts of sites. The focus is on building a system that manages screen scraping code and processes.

Detailed requirements in form of stories and mockups available to relevant candidates.

Buyer is experienced from outsourcing and has a long coding background. You are expected to be highly professional and meet deadlines.

As a developer you need to be a master of Ruby or Python and have experience from screen scraping, threading, Linux, MySQL.

When applying please list relevant/similar projects you have worked on. Do not just reference your portfolio.
