Senior LLM Engineer Needed – Build Evidence-Grounded Lit Review System (500 Academic Papers pdf)

Remote, USA Full-time Posted 2026-04-04
Apply Now

I am a researcher conducting a large-scale literature review based on academic papers (PDFs).

I already have a predefined set of research questions. I am not looking for AI to write the review. I am looking to build a robust, reproducible system that:

  • Applies my question set to each paper
  • Extracts answers directly from the documents
  • Provides supporting real page references
  • Flags missing or ambiguous information
  • Outputs everything into a structured master Excel file

This system will function as an additional analytical layer — an “extra pair of eyes” — to support, our review process.

Deliverables

The final output must be a master Excel file with a structured format. In addition, I will also need:

  • Clean, documented source code
  • Clear instructions to re-run the pipeline
  • Ability to add new PDFs and re-run
  • Ability to modify or add questions

You should be comfortable with:

  • Scientific PDF i
  • Extracting data from tables inside PDF
  • LLM outputs with enforced JSON schema
  • Hallucination mitigation strategies
  • Citation grounding at chunk level

Python preferred.(others are also ok)

To Apply, Please include:

1. A description of a similar system you built.

2. Your proposed architecture and tool stack.

3. How you will prevent hallucinations.

4. Estimated timeline
