What you’ll be doing
We are hiring an experienced AI/OCR Engineer to design and build production-grade document intelligence and AI-assisted workflows for a complex digital platform.
The role focuses on processing scanned documents, photographs, PDFs, digital documents, and multi-page files; extracting structured information; validating results; managing confidence levels; and integrating document-processing services into secure web, mobile, and backend workflows.
This is not a chatbot-only, prompt-engineering, or research-only AI role. The position requires hands-on experience building reliable production OCR/document-processing systems.
