Join Studyportals – Use the power of AI to revolutionize education access globally! 

About Us 

At Studyportals, we help millions of students find the best education options across the world. Our mission? To make education more transparent, accessible, and inclusive for everyone. Every minute, over 100 students trust our platforms (like mastersportal.com) for free to shape their future. 

We support 200,000+ English-taught global study programmes – and our Data Operators team works tirelessly to keep them accurate. But now, we’re taking a big leap forward through automation and AI. That’s where you come in!

What You'll Do 

We’re looking for a Software Developer to help us automate and scale our data collection and analysis processes. You’ll work with a passionate R&D team based in Bucharest and focus on: 

• Web data mining and scraping 
• AI-driven automation 
• Workflow optimization 

This is not a junior/entry-level role – we need someone with solid technical skills, who’s ready to build, improve, and grow with us. Experience with AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, ChatGPT, OpenAI API) is a plus, but not a strict requirement.

Your Mission (Key Objectives) 

• Automate study data and scholarship collection – triple the daily productivity of our Data Operators 
• Develop smart crawlers that detect when data on the web changes 
• Identify and solve inefficiencies in current workflows – build cost-effective automation solutions

Your Team 

You’ll be the second Software Automation Engineer in our growing R&D unit at SIA (Studyportals Intelligence Agency), reporting to Ioana, Process Intelligence Manager. 

Expect a flat hierarchy, quick decision-making, and an open culture where your ideas matter. You'll collaborate with a smart, friendly, and tech-driven team (like Tibi – your future teammate).
