Job description

  • We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to build and scale an AI-powered document parsing platform that extracts structured data from complex PDFs (pharmaceutical batch records, certificates, regulatory documents) using OCR, LLMs, and RAG.
  • You will work across the full stack - backend AI pipelines, frontend chat interface, and cloud infrastructure.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Design and develop production-grade RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines for domain-specific document querying with hybrid search, reranking, and multi-agent answer synthesis
  • Build and optimize document processing pipelines using AWS Textract for OCR extraction from tables, handwritten content, and structured forms
  • Integrate and orchestrate multiple LLM models (Claude, Gemini) for intent classification, data extraction, validation, and conversational AI
  • Develop and maintain the FastAPI backend - REST APIs, streaming endpoints (SSE), authentication, and background task processing
  • Build responsive frontend features using Next.js, React, and TypeScript - chat interface, PDF viewer with highlights, real-time progress tracking
  • Manage cloud infrastructure on AWS - EC2 deployment, S3 storage, RDS (PostgreSQL), and IAM configuration
  • Work with vector databases (Weaviate) and graph databases (Neo4j) for semantic search and structural document querying
  • Implement chunking strategies, embedding generation, cross-encoder reranking, and semantic caching for accurate document retrieval
  • Deploy and monitor AI models and services in production - model fallback chains, retry mechanisms, error handling
  • Write clean, maintainable code with proper logging, error handling, and documentation

Requirements

  • Python (FastAPI, async programming, pandas)
  • TypeScript / React (Next.js)
  • RAG systems - vector search, embeddings, chunking, reranking (production-grade)
  • LLM integration - prompt engineering, structured output, multi-model orchestration
  • AWS - EC2, S3, Textract, RDS
  • PostgreSQL
  • REST API design with streaming (SSE)
  • Git, basic CI/CD, Linux server management

Good to Have

  • Weaviate, Neo4j, or similar vector/graph databases
  • Gemini Vision or GPT-4V for document image analysis
  • LangChain / LangGraph
  • Docker, nginx
  • Pharmaceutical/regulated document experience

Experience

  • 3 6 years
