• Philosophy: 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%. We want someone who ships fast, with high agency, and who doesn't just voice problems but actively jumps in to fix them.
• Experience: You have 2+ years of experience with training, fine tuning, and evaluating ML models used in production systems
• Language/Skills: You’re exceptional at Python or similar, and are well versed with both traditional computer vision and VLMs
• Tools: Build your own tools as needed—like a quick Streamlit app to test hypotheses or create a dataset.
• Approach: A quantitative approach to building products. Ability to debug, experiment, and iterate fast. You should be comfortable getting hands-on with the full development lifecycle, from ideation to shipping to users.

The Core Work Will Include:

• Training and deploying new state of the art models for parsing and interpreting unstructured data
• Experimenting with novel techniques to improve LLM accuracy
• Build data pipelines, evaluate model performance, and integrate models into the product
• Working directly with the founders and customers to shape the product direction and engineering strategy

Bonus Points If You:

• Have prior experience founding a company or building products at early stages
• Are ambitious and driven, and care a lot about doing great work with great people
• Keep up with the latest developments in ML/AI

This is an in person role at our office in SF. We’re an early stage company which means that the role requires working hard and moving quickly. Please only apply if that excites you.

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
