Job description
As a Backend Developer, you will help us solve the âlast mileâ of document processing: converting complex, unstructured PDFs into perfectly formatted, editable .docx files. The goal is not just to extract text, but to recreate the visual and structural intent of the original document-including nested tables, multi-column layouts, font hierarchies, and styling. You will lead the research and implementation of our document conversion pipeline. This is a hybrid role requiring you to be both a strategic decision-maker (staying on top of the existing tools) and a hands-on developer (combining engineering and AI skills). You will be in charge of: · Comparative Analysis: Perform a deep-dive evaluation of commercial (ABBYY, Adobe, AWS Textract) vs. open-source/AI-native (Mistral OCR, Docling, Nougat, LlamaParse) solutions. · Benchmarking: Establish metrics for âformat fidelityâ to objectively measure how well a tool recreates headers, footers, tables, and styles. · Pipeline Development: Build a Python-based workflow that integrates OCR engines with document generation libraries (like python-docx or Pandoc). · AI Implementation: Explore and fine-tune Vision-Language Models (VLMs) or LayoutLM-style architectures to improve structural recognition. · Optimization: Solve specific edge cases such as rotated text, low-resolution scans, and complex mathematical notation.
