The IRIS Institute (gGmbH) conducts applied research into spatial data systems, automated data extraction, and infrastructure transformation. We build scalable data pipelines to turn fragmented public records into structured spatial insights.

Your Role & Key Tasks:
You will design, develop, and maintain autonomous scraping routines and extraction agents for public registers, corporate filings, and official announcements.
