Job Description

Experience: 9- 15 years
Location: Hyderabad
Job Type: Full Time

AI, NLP & Document AI (Primary Differentiator)

• NLP fundamentals:
  • Text extraction, classification, entity recognition
• Document AI:
  • OCR, document parsing, structured/unstructured data extraction
• LLMs / GenAI:
  • Prompt engineering
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Knowledge of document workflows:
  • Input → processing → enrichment → output

Data Engineering & Processing (Tech & Data Arch)

• Data pipelines (ETL/ELT)
• Batch and streaming data processing
• Handling large document datasets
• SQL, BigQuery / data platforms
• Data transformation and enrichment

Software Engineering Excellence (Core Expectation)
