Founding Product Designer
Apply NowCompany: Reducto
Location: San Francisco, CA 94112
Description:
The vast majority of enterprise data - from financial statements to health records - are locked in unstructured file formats like PDFs and spreadsheets. Reducto is the most accurate way to parse and extract data from complex documents.
Today we power ingestion pipelines for hundreds of leading AI teams, ranging from popular startups to Fortune 10 enterprises. We've grown incredibly quickly (07 fig in ARR in 6 months), are loved by customers (>300M pages parsed), and are well funded by tier 1 investors.
The Opportunity
As our first Founding Product Designer, you'll shape the foundation of how users interact with our product-from core workflows to visual language. You'll work directly with our CEO, engineers, and customers to design entirely new experiences. We don't have PMs- so you'll own design end-to-end: user research, UX flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mocks, and design systems.
We would love to meet you if:
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:
