Full description
Reducto is the agentic document platform for leading AI teams who demand enterprise performance at scale. We provide a comprehensive toolkit for working with documents the way a human would, combining custom in-house and leading frontier models to power efficient and accurate document workflows.
We’ve grown rapidly, increasing revenue 8x year over year and partnering with hundreds of companies, from leading AI teams like Harvey, Vanta, and Scale, to enterprise customers across FAANG and top trading firms.
Reducto has raised over $100M from world-class investors including a16z, Benchmark, and First Round Capital.
The Role
As we've worked with customers to solve their most pressing document intelligence problems, we've started building a universe of products and tooling that can help customers through the entire lifecycle of their document workflows. We're hiring a Head of Product Engineering to lead the engineering team building these products. You'll set direction for what we build on top of our models, and be accountable for the product feeling fast, reliable, precise, and worth paying for. You'll define how we build products, from what technologies we use to how we apply them.
This is a hands-on role. We think the best product leaders at our stage lead from inside the codebase, so you'll spend your first few months shipping as an engineer on the team before you fully take on leading it. As AI makes it easier to write code, the expectation that you can solve the hard problems yourself becomes more of the norm.
You'll report to our VP of Engineering and work directly with our founders.
We would love to meet you if you:
Product Intuition: You have a sharp eye for what good product looks like and how it's built. You care about the details that matter and think with first principles.
Quality: You deeply care about the quality of what you build and ship. You hold your team to a demanding quality bar. You're allergic to AI slop.
Experience: You have 3+ years of experience leading team(s) that have built applications with significant impact. You've led business-critical projects from 0 to 1 but also from 1 to 100. You prefer to lead small, nimble teams.
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 production-quality code.
Ambiguity: You work well in environments that have ambiguity. We believe ex-founders are the best fit for this role as they have the skills to navigate ambiguity, but it's not a requirement.
Customers: You've worked directly with customers before. You have experience doing customer discovery or customer research.
The Core Work Will Include:
Working directly with our founders, product team, and our customers to shape what products we build and how we build them
Creating delightful, intuitive UIs that elegantly decomposes complex document workflows
Ideating, prototyping and iteratively delivering new features like form filling, translations, document editing and document classification
Sourcing and recruiting product engineers who will build a world-class agentic document platform
Defining how we use AI in our building process
Working closely with our Platform and ML engineering teams to roll out new models and deployment capabilities
Bonus points if you
Have founded a company that has experienced meaningful traction
Have experience deploying agentic workflows to customers
Prior experience working with document workflows
Have built with LLMs in production, including evaluation tooling
Have held a tech-lead-manager or player-coach role at a company that experienced rapid growth
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.
