What Makes This Role Different

This role is focused on converting complex financial and legal documents into structured, reliable data. While experience with chatbots, retrieval systems, and general-purpose AI applications is valuable, the core challenge is building systems that can accurately understand legal documentation and extract the information that powers financial analysis and workflow automation.

About You

This role will be a great fit if you:

Legal Document Intelligence: Deep experience working with complex legal and financial documents, including bond offering memoranda, credit agreements, indentures, court filings, and related transaction documentation.

Information Extraction: Expertise in extracting structured data from long, complex documents, including financial terms, covenant provisions, definitions, parties, dates, thresholds, baskets, ratios, and transaction mechanics.

Document Understanding & NLP: Strong understanding of document structure, section hierarchy, cross-references, defined terms, tables, exhibits, and other patterns common in legal and financial documentation.

LLMs for Structured Extraction: Experience applying LLMs to high-precision extraction tasks, including schema-driven extraction, citation grounding, validation, and confidence scoring.

Data Quality & Validation Systems: Ability to design review, verification, and reconciliation workflows that ensure extracted data is accurate, consistent, and auditable.

Training Data & Annotation: Experience building labelled datasets, annotation frameworks, synthetic data generation, and evaluation sets for document extraction tasks.
