Business Development Representative (BDR)

Business Development Representative

Pulse is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in data infrastructure: extracting accurate, structured information from complex documents at scale. We have a breakthrough approach to document understanding that combines intelligent schema mapping with fine-tuned extraction models where legacy OCR and other parsing tools consistently fail.

We are a small, fast-growing team of engineers in San Francisco powering Fortune 100 enterprises, YC startups, public investment firms, and growth-stage companies. We are backed by tier 1 investors and growing quickly.

What makes our tech special is our multi-stage architecture:

• Layout understanding with specialized component detection models
• Low-latency OCR models for targeted extraction
• Advanced reading-order algorithms for complex structures
• Proprietary table structure recognition and parsing
• Fine-tuned vision-language models for charts, tables, and figures
