We train vision models to read those documents the way a human would, and make it possible to build products, train models, and automate processes at scale.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We’ve grown incredibly quickly, growing revenue by 7x YOY, and now work with hundreds of companies ranging from leading AI teams (Harvey, Vanta, Scale), through to enterprise (FAANG, top 3 trading firm).</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We're raised over 100M from world class investors like A16z, Benchmark, and First Round Capital, and are hiring a Technical Lead Manager to own Reducto's API platform—the infrastructure that processes tens of millions of pages every month for teams ranging from startups to Fortune 10 enterprises.</p><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">The Role</h3><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll build and lead the team responsible for the reliability, performance, and scale of the product that our customers depend on every day.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">You'll work directly with the founders and customers to shape both the technical architecture and team strategy. We need someone who can write code, make hard technical decisions, and grow a world-class engineering team—all while moving fast in an early-stage environment.</p><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">What You'll Do</h3><ul class="list-disc list-inside my-5 pl-5 space-y-2 text-gray-700"><li class="leading-relaxed"><strong>Build and lead the API team</strong>: Recruit exceptional engineers, set technical direction, and create a culture of ownership and high standards</li><li class="leading-relaxed"><strong>Own the technical architecture</strong>: Make critical decisions about system design, scalability, and performance as we continue to grow 10x</li><li class="leading-relaxed"><strong>Ship code</strong>: This is a hands-on role. You'll be writing code, reviewing PRs, and diving deep into the hardest technical problems</li><li class="leading-relaxed"><strong>Work cross-functionally</strong>: Partner closely with ML, product, and our customers to balance performance, reliability, and new capabilities</li><li class="leading-relaxed"><strong>Set the bar for execution</strong>: Build processes that help the team ship fast without breaking things, from sprint planning to incident response</li></ul><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">We Would Love to Meet You If</h3><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed"><strong>Philosophy</strong>: You are your own worst critic. You have a high bar for quality and don't rest until the job is done right—no settling for 90%. You ship fast, with high agency, and don't just voice problems but actively jump in to fix them.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed"><strong>Experience</strong>: You have 5+ years of engineering experience with at least 2+ years managing or leading technical teams. You've built and scaled production APIs or infrastructure that real users depend on.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed"><strong>Technical depth</strong>: You can write production code and make hard technical tradeoffs. You understand distributed systems, API design, and what it takes to build reliable infrastructure at scale.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed"><strong>Leadership</strong>: You've recruited engineers, managed performance, set technical strategy, and helped people grow.

Insurance claims, financial statements, invoices, and health records are all stored in a structure that’s simply impractical for use in digital workflows.

Text from different columns are jumbled together, figures are ignored, and tables are a nightmare to get right.
