Software Development Engineer (Fullstack)

LandingAI is building the infrastructure to make the world’s documents computable. We are an AI-native company transforming unstructured and dark data into trusted, structured, auditable data that software can understand and act on. Our focus is on the hardest document understanding problems: multiple document types, complex layouts, tables, images, handwriting, and mixed modalities within and across workflows. Founded by Andrew Ng, LandingAI has brought together some of the strongest AI Engineers and Machine Learning Engineers in the industry, with deep expertise in visual AI, agentic systems, foundation models, and production ML infrastructure. We build from the ground up where it matters, move fast with the latest AI coding tools and agentic developer workflows, and invest in the compute and technical environment needed to do exceptional work. Our work is grounded in three core strengths: Agentic systems built for production . We have been early builders of agentic AI systems and have applied that work in the real world through Agentic Document Extraction (ADE), our platform for parsing, understanding, and extracting information from complex documents with traceability, control, and production‑grade reliability. A data‑centric mindset . We bring a rigorous, practical approach to model quality, edge cases, evaluation, and real customer data, because solving document understanding in production requires far more than strong benchmark performance. A vision‑first approach to foundation models . We build from the ground up where it matters, including specialized document models and agentic systems, because solving real document understanding problems requires more than stitching together generic components. Since launching Agentic Document Extraction in early 2025, LandingAI has grown quickly by bringing a modern, AI‑native approach to a legacy intelligent document processing market ready for disruption. This is a place for builders. If you want to work on real technical depth, move quickly, take ownership, and help define the future of document intelligence, LandingAI is the place to do it.
