The project focuses on the development and enhancement of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) solutions for the automatic extraction of information from thousands of PDF documents — especially fees and recoverable amounts.
The goal is to eliminate manual verification and achieve near 100% accuracy in extraction results.

Responsibilities: 

  • Develop and optimize OCR pipelines for reading and extracting structured and unstructured data from PDF documents.
  • Create and maintain Python scripts for processing, validating, and transforming extracted data.
  • Implement testing, performance tuning, and continuous improvements to OCR models and extraction rules.
  • Collaborate with the client’s internal teams (engineering and business) to understand requirements and propose efficient technical solutions.
  • Support technical documentation and the maintenance of the developed solution.

Technical Requirements:

  • Advanced English for technical collaboration with the client’s global team
  • Strong Python experience, ideally 8 to 10 years — automation, PDF manipulation, regular expressions, testing
  • Hands-on use of AI tools such as Claude or Codex, with a focus on prompt engineering
  • Solid (Senior-level) experience in OCR projects
  • Experience with data pipelines, modeling, and integration of results (e.g., JSON, CSV, APIs)
  • QA experience
  • AWS experience
  • Familiarity with agentic workflows
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail to ensure high accuracy

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

  • Previous experience in document automation projects within energy, utilities, or finance companies
  • Knowledge of Machine Learning applied to OCR (e.g., layout analysis, entity recognition)
  • Familiarity with Google Vision, AWS Textract, or Azure Cognitive Services
  • Experience with Gemini
  • Architecture background
