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 Design Engineer.

The Role

As a Product Engineer, you'll own the development of Reducto Studio, our Next.js-based application that makes document parsing accessible to both technical and non-technical users. You'll work on everything from interactive document viewers to data extraction workflows, building delightful experiences that make complex AI capabilities feel simple.

We would love to meet you if you:

• 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 building real world frontend applications with modern frameworks

• Language/Skills: You're exceptional at TypeScript and React, with strong design sensibility. You understand both the technical and visual aspects of great product experiences.

• Tools: Build your own tools as needed—like a quick prototype to test a new interaction pattern or a component library to speed up development.

• 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:

• Building and improving Reducto Studio's core features—document viewers, extraction workflows, data visualization, and editing interfaces

• Creating delightful, intuitive UIs for complex document parsing capabilities like form filling, table extraction, and structured data output

• Implementing real‑time collaboration features and responsive interfaces that work seamlessly across devices

• Working within our design system and stack (Next.js, Tailwind, Convex) to ship fast while maintaining high quality

• Experimenting with new interaction patterns to make AI-powered document processing feel magical

• Working directly with the founders and customers to shape the product direction based on user feedback

Bonus points if you:

• Have prior experience founding a company or building products at early stages

• Have experience with document viewers, PDF rendering, or complex data visualization

• Are ambitious and driven, and care a lot about doing great work with great people

• Keep up with the latest developments in frontend engineering and design systems

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

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.
