About The Position

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 Founding Security Engineer to own our security posture and compliance programs as we scale to serve the world's most security-conscious enterprises.
