• Developing custom Python applications for extraction, pre-processing, and automation using OpenCV, Pytesseract, pdf2image, pdfplumber, and more.
• Designing extraction workflows on IDP platforms (UiPath, ABBYY, Tungsten, and Automation Anywhere).
• Training and tuning machine learning models for document classification and entity extraction.
• Building API-driven architecture, using Flask, FastAPI, or Django.
• Integrating document workflows with ERPs, CRMs, databases, and cloud storage.
• Implementing high-volume batch pipelines with parallel processing, error handling, and retries.
• Applying advanced image-processing algorithms and NLP techniques for unstructured content.
• Deploying containerised solutions via Docker and CI/CD pipelines.

What You Need to Succeed:

• Minimum 3 years' professional Python development experience.
• Strong exposure to OCR technologies and custom IDP workflows.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major IDP platform (UiPath / ABBYY / Tungsten / IQ Bot).
• Proven ability to build production-ready processing systems handling thousands of documents.
• Experience with cloud document AI (Azure, AWS, and Google).
• Knowledge of SQL/NoSQL, message queues, and API-driven integration architecture.
