Python Engineer (OCR / AI)

Intetics Inc., a global technology company providing custom software application development, distributed professional teams, software product quality assessment, and “all-things-digital” solutions, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Python Engineer (OCR / AI) to join our dynamic team.

About the project:

We are working on a healthcare product — we developed from scratch a multilayer, web-based platform, built on the basis of microservice architecture which supports numerous integrations with external web services and third-party applications.

Requirements

Python Proficiency

• Deep understanding of Python, including its advanced features and libraries.
• Experience in developing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Computer Vision (CV) systems, particularly for extracting data from document scans and photos (ID cards, insurance policies, invoices, CVs).
• Hands-on experience with open-source libraries for OCR and CV (e.g., OpenCV, Pillow, Tesseract, EasyOCR).
• Experience with asynchronous programming (e.g., asyncio) for handling multiple concurrent requests.
• Experience in developing and maintaining RESTful APIs to serve models (using FastAPI or Flask).

Performance Optimization

• Skills in optimizing model inference speed and resource consumption (CPU/GPU/RAM) to handle high loads effectively.
• Experience with acceleration techniques: batch processing, quantization, and GPU (CUDA) utilization.

Data Handling and Preprocessing

• Proficiency in NumPy and Pandas for processing both images and the extracted structured data.
• Experience building data pipelines for efficient loading and image preprocessing of large datasets.

Concurrency and Parallelism

• Understanding of concurrency models for efficient request management (e.g., threading, multiprocessing).
• Experience with message queuing systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka).

Benefits

• Paid Time Off (36 paid days per year)
• Work From Home
• Training & Development
• Partial medical compensation
