Job description
We are looking for a Senior Data / Ingestion Engineer for our client, a consultancy that helps banks and insurers transform their operations through AI, automation, and advanced analytics, with a strong focus on Anti-Financial Crime (fraud prevention, AML, KYC) and enterprise AI platforms. You will join their delivery for a Dutch insurance client.
We're looking for an engineer with deep experience building robust ingestion pipelines for unstructured documents and integrating OCR and document extraction technologies. You will turn high volumes of insurance documents (PDFs, scans, emails, Office files) into structured, high-quality, AI-ready data that feeds downstream RAG and AI models.
This is a long-term remote-first contract position for candidates based in Europe.
Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable pipelines for ingesting high-volume unstructured insurance documents (PDFs, scans, emails, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Build connectors to document sources such as SharePoint and email.
Integrate, configure, and optimise OCR and document parsing technologies to extract high-accuracy text and layouts.
Build automated workflows for text cleaning, normalisation, semantic chunking, and metadata tagging.
Design vector storage schemas and robust retrieval mechanisms (RAG) to feed downstream AI models.
Ensure document processing pipelines meet enterprise security and low-latency SLA requirements.
Build automated error monitoring and extraction validation loops that flag low-confidence OCR outputs.
Apply engineering best practices across the pipeline lifecycle: version control, CI/CD, and testing.

Start Date: ASAP
Location: Remote within Europe (CEE preferred)
Long-term contract-based role: until July 2027 with possible extension
Contract with EU LCC

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Jimmy Technologies. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
