Project:
- Build an AI platform (RAG, search, document drafting) to automate and scale complex corporate consolidation assessments for PwC.
- Duration: 1 year (Start: ASAP).
- HackerRank: Yes.
- Location: Fully remote (occasional quarterly team sessions in Prague; Prague-based candidates preferred).
- Hours: Core US overlap required (minimum 2–6 PM CET, preferred 2–7 PM CET).
- Contract: B2B only (must have a valid EU VAT number verifiable in VIES).
Python Backend and Platform Engineering:
- Core: Python 3.12+, OOP, clean architecture, FastAPI, CLI scripting (argparse, Bash).
- Async and Data: Celery, event-driven workflows (RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus), PostgreSQL, MongoDB.
- Data and Reporting: pandas, NumPy, openpyxl (JSON to Excel report generation), batch processing.
RAG and LLM Engineering:
- Pipeline: End-to-end RAG (ingestion, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, generation).
- LLMs and Prompts: OpenAI API (reasoning models, structured output parsing), prompt engineering and versioning (manifest.yaml).
- Search and Retrieval: Hybrid retrieval (Vector + BM25), metadata filtering, Qdrant, Azure AI Search (ACS), pgVector.
Document Processing and Ingestion:
- Extraction and OCR: PyMuPDF (fitz), Tesseract (pytesseract).
- Strategy: Clause-aware and section-aware chunking for legal and financial documents.
Fullstack Integration and UI Demos:
- Internal Tools: Multi-page Streamlit apps, session state, streamlit-aggrid for SME workflows and PoCs.
- Fullstack Support: Basic-to-intermediate Node.js and React to maintain and connect frontend integration modules to Python APIs.
DevOps and Quality Assurance:
- Hygiene: Docker, Docker Compose, Git (small, regular commits), YAML-driven configurations.
- Testing: Unit and integration tests for Python services and pipelines.
Soft Skills and Nice-to-Haves:
- Soft Skills: Autonomous pipeline debugging, strong communication to iterate on prompts and outputs alongside non-technical accounting and audit SMEs.
- Nice-to-Have: RAG evaluation frameworks, MCP/FastMCP, LangChain, LangGraph, multi-agent frameworks (CrewAI, AutoGen, TaskWeave), Azure CI/CD.
