Introduction
At PiXirus, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are at the heart of our digital innovation strategy. From large-scale digitization to eLearning and content management, we design intelligent solutions that preserve knowledge, enhance discovery, and transform access for libraries, archives, museums, and enterprises worldwide.
We are expanding our AI team and are looking for passionate AI Developers who want to shape the future of cultural heritage, knowledge management, and digital learning.
Objective
Our objective is to build a global AI team that can design, implement, and scale AI-powered workflows for:
- Digitization & preservation of vast image / data collections
- OCR & handwriting recognition
- Automated cataloguing, indexing, and metadata creation
- AI-driven document quality control
We welcome applications from anywhere in the world. You can choose to:
- Work remotely from your location, or
- Join us in our offices in Pondicherry (India) or France.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s / Master’s / PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or related fields
- Strong foundation in machine learning, deep learning, and NLP
- Knowledge of document AI, OCR, computer vision, or search optimization is a plus
- Excellent programming skills (Python, familiarity with Java / C++ is a plus)
- Good communication skills and ability to collaborate in global teams
- Language skills: English – essential for global collaboration, French – highly desirable for working with cultural heritage institutions and European clients
Key Skills & Tools
