Position Description

Join CGI!

CGI is seeking a hands-on Google Document AI (DocAI) Technical Lead to design, develop, and deliver enterprise Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Conversational English level B2 or higher.
• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including technical leadership.
• 3+ years of AI/ML, Document AI, or IDP experience.
• Strong hands-on experience implementing Google Document AI in production.
• Experience with DocAI configuration, Custom Document Extractor, classification, extraction, model training/tuning, and accuracy optimization.
• Strong development experience with Google Cloud Functions and event-driven GCP architectures.
• Strong Python development skills and experience building REST APIs, microservices, and JSON integrations.
• Experience with GCP services such as Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, IAM, and Cloud Monitoring.
• Experience with CI/CD, Git, and modern DevOps practices.
• Proven ability to lead developers while remaining hands-on technically.
• At least one end-to-end production IDP implementation.

Must Have: Direct, hands-on production experience configuring Google Document AI and developing GCP/Cloud Functions orchestration. This is a development lead role—not a purely architectural AI position.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, configuration, development, and implementation of Google Document AI solutions.
• Configure DocAI processors, Custom Document Extractor, schemas/entities, classification, extraction, confidence thresholds, and model tuning.
• Design end-to-end document workflows covering ingestion, classification, extraction, validation/HITL, and downstream processing.
• Develop orchestration using Google Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, APIs, and related GCP services.
• Develop Python-based APIs, microservices, pre/post-processing logic, JSON transformations, and enterprise integrations.
• Implement error handling, retry/reprocessing, logging, monitoring, and production support.
• Translate business and architectural requirements into technical designs and development tasks.
• Lead and drive developers through technical direction, work assignments, code/design reviews, mentoring, and resolution of technical blockers.
• Remain hands-on with development and troubleshooting through testing, deployment, and production stabilization.
• Ensure solutions meet enterprise requirements for security, scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Vertex AI/Gemini, HITL solutions, Docker/Kubernetes, LLMs/RAG, and enterprise content/workflow platforms.

Additional Skills:

• This role requires strong hands-on development experience with Google Document AI configuration, model setup and tuning, Google Cloud Functions, and end-to-end document-processing orchestration. The Technical Lead will also provide technical direction to developers, drive implementation, conduct code/design reviews, and resolve complex technical issues.
