Key Responsibilities:
- Build robust, scalable data processing pipelines for unstructured documents (PDFs, emails, forms, etc.) using PySpark and Python.
- Implement document cleansing, classification, and enrichment techniques to prepare high-quality data for AI/ML applications.
- Develop and integrate data workflows that feed into LLM-based pipelines and support vector-based retrieval using RAG architectures.
- Engineer vector embeddings, document chunking, and metadata tagging for semantic search and question-answering systems.
- Collaborate closely with AI architects, AI/Data engineers, and platform teams to design end-to-end AI solutions.
- Communicate data readiness, pipeline quality, and model integration strategies clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Apply Agile methodologies and CI/CD best practices to deliver continuously evolving AI capabilities.
Required Skills:
- Overall 5+ years of commercial experience with 2+ years in a relevant role.
- Strong proficiency in PySpark and distributed data frameworks.
- Solid experience in core Python, including ML/AI libraries (e.g., Transformers, LangChain, Hugging Face, FAISS, etc.).
- Proven expertise in processing unstructured data and document intelligence (OCR, NLP, classification, tagging).
- Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Redis) and embedding models for RAG pipelines.
- Understanding of LLM lifecycle, including fine-tuning, inference, and prompt engineering.
- Experience working in agile environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to interface with both technical and business stakeholders.
