About Tekmetric

Tekmetric is the all-in-one, cloud-based platform helping auto repair shops run smarter, grow faster, and serve customers better.
Built by a shop owner and shaped by the needs of the industry, Tekmetric brings together innovation, real-world experience, and a thriving community to help shops thrive - not just survive. From running a shop, to securing payments to engaging customers, our platform simplifies operations so shop owners can focus on what really matters: delivering exceptional service, earning trust, and growing sustainably.

Officially founded in Houston in 2017, Tekmetric has grown from a single shop’s vision to the industry’s leading solution - all by staying true to our values of transparency, integrity, innovation, and a service-first mindset. 
But we’re not just building software. We’re building a movement. We’re empowering repair shops to rise above the daily grind, create meaningful connections with their customers, and lead the industry forward - one interaction at a time.

Come build with us. Join the journey. Shape the future of auto repair.

Working the Tekmetric Way

At Tekmetric, we’re building a culture where winning matters - not for ego, but because when our customers win, we win together. 

We move fast, stay curious, and take full ownership of our results — no excuses, no finger-pointing. If you thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and view honest feedback as fuel for growth, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re direct but respectful, ambitious yet grounded, and collaborative at every level. Everyone leads through impact and is encouraged to speak up, share ideas, and challenge assumptions (even your manager’s). This is a place for builders, not bystanders.

Success here takes focus, follow-through, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves — but if you’re driven by meaningful work and real results, it’s deeply rewarding. You’ll join a team that cares about the work, supports one another, and takes smart risks to achieve bold goals. Be yourself, stay mission-focused, and you’ll thrive. If that energizes you, we can’t wait to meet you.

At Tekmetric, great work happens anywhere, but great teams are built through intentional connection. We offer hybrid and remote work models based on your proximity to our office hubs. Because we value in-person collaboration, travel is an expected part of every role. We come together several times a year for team and company-wide offsites to align on goals and strengthen relationships. Attendance at these events is expected and fully supported.

What You’ll Do
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with expertise in web scraping, data processing, and search technologies to help build a large-scale data ingestion and classification system. You will be responsible for extracting data from diverse sources (web pages, APIs, PDFs), cleaning and normalizing it, and building search capabilities using ElasticSearch/OpenSearch. You will work with Python, Scrapy, Airflow, Kubernetes, AWS, and Spark to create scalable, high-performance data pipelines.

  • Build and design large scale, distributed crawling bots (perhaps AI agents) and infrastructure that operate in an adversarial environment aiming at low operational overhead
  • Develop and maintain data pipelines to extract data from large volumes of web pages, documents, PDFs (OCR), and APIs.
  • Help unify heterogeneous documents into a coherent data schema across varied source formats
  • Preprocess and normalize raw data for downstream classification, ML/NLP, and search indexing.
  • Build APIs to expose structured, classified data via ElasticSearch/OpenSearch.
  • Collaborate with ML/NLP teams to integrate classification models into the pipeline.
  • Automate workflows using Apache Airflow and deploy solutions in Kubernetes on AWS.
  • Optimize and scale data pipelines using Spark (EMR) for processing large datasets.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in Python with building crawling/scraping solutions at scale.
  • Experience working with APIs (REST), PDF processing (OCR, Tesseract, PyMuPDF etc.).
  • Proficiency in data processing & search technologies (ElasticSearch/OpenSearch, NoSQL/SQL databases).
  • Hands-on experience with Airflow and Spark (EMR) or similar distributed systems.
  • Strong problem-solving skills in handling anti-scraping mechanisms and data scaling challenges.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with NLP and Machine Learning (a plus but not required).
  • Experience with LLMs, NLP models, or ML frameworks (e.g., Hugging Face, spaCy, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Prior experience in automated document classification.
  • Experience working in high-scale, production environments with petabytes of data.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes.
