About Reducto

Reducto helps AI teams ingest real world enterprise data with state of the art accuracy.

The vast majority of enterprise data — from financial statements to health records — is locked in unstructured file formats like PDFs and spreadsheets. 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.

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).

We’re raised over 100M from world class investors like A16z, Benchmark, and First Round Capital, and are hiring a Head of Engineering to help scale our technical organization through a period of rapid growth.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to join as the senior engineering leader at a well-funded startup that’s already gaining traction with leading AI companies.

You’ll work directly with the founders to build a world-class engineering team, establish scalable processes, and ensure we maintain our high technical bar as we grow from ~15 to 50+ engineers over the next 18-24 months. This role is perfect for someone who has experienced hypergrowth and is ready to help build it from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

  • Own engineering execution, accountability, and goal-setting
  • Build and scale our hiring process to onboard 2-3 engineers per month
  • Establish frameworks for planning, building, and shipping
  • Partner with our CTO on technical strategy and architecture decisions
  • Shape the engineering culture and values that will define Reducto for years to come
  • Tackle major technical and organizational challenges as we scale

What We’re Looking For

  • You joined an earlier-stage startup (as one of the first 10-30 engineers) and rode it through hypergrowth to 100-200+ people
  • You saw things break at scale and learned how to fix them—you can look around corners
  • You have 2-4+ years of management experience
  • Before that, you worked at a well-run, high-bar company (like Stripe, Dropbox, Airbnb, or similar) where you learned what great engineering culture looks like
  • You were a strong IC (senior / staff level) before becoming a manager
  • You can demonstrate impact :

  • You can walk us through specific problems you’ve solved at previous companies
  • You have stories about when you tried something that didn’t work and what you learned
  • You can explain your frameworks for hiring, goal-setting, and execution—and show how you’ve applied them in practice
  • You can contribute beyond just engineering (e.g., customer insights, product intuition, business strategy)
  • About Reducto

    Nearly 80% of enterprise data is in unstructured formats like PDFs

    PDFs are the status quo for enterprise knowledge in nearly every industry. Insurance claims, financial statements, invoices, and health records are all stored in a structure that’s simply impractical for use in digital workflows. This isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a critical bottleneck that leads to ++dozens of wasted hours every week++.

    Traditional approaches fail at reliably extracting information in complex PDFs

    OCR and even more sophisticated ML approaches work for simple text documents but are unreliable for anything more complex. Text from different columns are jumbled together, figures are ignored, and tables are a nightmare to get right. Overcoming this usually requires a large engineering effort dedicated to building specialized pipelines for every document type you work with.

  • Reducto++ breaks document layouts into subsections and then contextually parses each depending on the type of content. This is made possible by a combination of vision models, LLMs, and a suite of heuristics we built over time. Put simply, we can help you :
  • Accurately extract text and tables even with nonstandard layouts
  • Automatically convert graphs to tabular data and summarize images in documents
  • Extract important fields from complex forms with simple, natural language instructions
  • Build powerful retrieval pipelines using Reducto’s document metadata
  • Intelligently chunk information using the document’s layout data
  • Benefits at Reducto

  • Unlimited PTO : We believe great work requires recharging.
  • Lunch : Receive a free lunch to eat with your teammates daily at the office
  • Reimbursed Transportation : Provide us with your receipts and we’ll take care of the costs
  • Insurance : Generous health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision.
  • Health and Wellness Budget : We provide up to $150 / mo reimbursement for health and wellness spending, such as gym memberships, fitness classes, or similar.
  • Parental Leave : Work with us to build a leave schedule that works for you and your family
  • Reducto is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, color, age, national origin, religion, physical and mental disability, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity / assignment, citizenship, pregnancy or maternity, protected veteran status, or any other status prohibited by applicable national, federal, state or local law.
