Senior AI/Data Engineer – Own Document Intelligence Systems (OCR, Validation, Workflows)

✈️ About AirNxt

AirNxt is building the next generation of AI-powered MRO software to transform aviation maintenance, operations, and management. Our platform is designed to be intuitive, scalable, and high-performance, simplifying complex workflows and enhancing efficiency across the aviation industry.

As we scale, we’re looking for passionate professionals who thrive in agile environments and are eager to solve real-world aviation challenges using cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

About the Role

We’re building a next-generation enterprise platform for a regulated industry. A critical part of making the system usable is turning messy, real-world customer data, PDFs, Excel files, scanned forms, into clean, structured, validated records.

You’ll design and own the AI/ML systems that make that possible.

This is foundational work. It’s not an AI prototype, it’s the core engine powering a production system used daily in high-integrity operational environments.

What You’ll Work On

  • Build document ingestion pipelines (PDF, Excel, scanned forms → structured JSON)

  • Design and implement validation logic (rules + heuristics to catch bad data)

  • Develop step-based workflows (flag → route → correct → approve)

  • Enable human-in-the-loop feedback (logging, traceability, correction UIs)

Your work will directly affect how airlines, engineers, and regulators interact with critical operational data.

Must-Have Experience

• Python (you write clean, testable code, not just notebooks)

• OCR & document parsing (e.g., pdfplumber, Tesseract, PaddleOCR)

• Data structuring & transformation (semi-structured ETL pipelines)

• Schema-based validation (e.g., Pydantic, Cerberus, or custom logic)

Nice to Have

• Workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Prefect, Airflow, LangGraph)

• Human-in-the-loop systems

• API/CLI development experience

• Experience in high-integrity or regulated domains (aviation, healthcare, finance)

• Vector databases, fuzzy matching, or enrichment logic

• Lightweight ML models (e.g., classification, anomaly detection)

You don’t need to check every box.

We care more about how you think, how you build, and how you debug complex real-world systems.

Who We’re Looking For

  • A senior engineer who can lead this area independently

  • Experience working in startups or fast-moving product teams

  • Strong sense of data integrity, structure, and systems reliability

  • Calm, focused, proactive, and collaborative in ambiguous environments

Our Current Stack

  • Python, FastAPI

  • pdfplumber, Tesseract, spaCy

  • PostgreSQL, JSON, Airflow/Prefect (soon)

  • Future tools: LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases

Contracting or Freelance?

We’re open to long-term contractors or freelancers who can commit 30+ hours/week.

Compensation

We’re open to market rates for the right experience. Let us know your expectations, our priority is finding the right person.

Why This Role Matters

This isn’t a throwaway AI demo. You’ll be building the core data infrastructure that everything else depends on. Clean, structured, validated data is the backbone of our platform, and your work will be felt across every module, every user, every day.

How to Apply

Send us:

  • A short intro about your experience with similar systems

  • Links to anything relevant: projects, repos, writeups, or a quick bullet list

We keep the process fast, focused, and human.

📍 Location & Work Environment

Hybrid & Remote Options: Roles are primarily based in Dubai (HQ) and Cairo (Egypt Agile Hub) with flexibility for hybrid work depending on position requirements.

Collaboration-Driven Culture: We value cross-functional teamwork, continuous feedback, and a growth mindset.
