Maintain a strong focus on code quality, security, and resilience in all ML pipelines and APIs.
Apply both traditional machine learning and generative AI techniques to automate and enhance onboarding workflows.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams - product managers, data scientists, and software engineers - to translate business goals into intelligent, scalable solutions.
Prototype and iterate rapidly on AI-powered features using Python-based ML/OCR frameworks.
Contribute to the full product lifecycle, including development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and support.

Required Skills & Experience:

Proven expertise in Document AI/Intelligent Document Processing, using both traditional ML models and Generative AI (e.g., open-source LLMs and fine-tuning for domain-specific tasks).
Strong experience delivering machine learning solutions in Python, with applied knowledge in NLP, OCR, image processing, and deep learning.
Familiarity with core libraries and frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, SpaCy, OpenCV, and Regex.
A practical understanding of productionising AI systems, including performance optimisation, robustness, and security.

Nice to Have:

Background working in agile teams delivering features at a rapid cadence to production.
Experience with PostgreSQL or similar databases for storing and managing model outputs and metadata.
Familiarity with Azure cloud services, especially AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), Azure DevOps, and Azure CLI.
