Reducto Head of Product Engineering at Reducto leading the engineering team to build document workflow products. Responsible for setting product direction, technology choices, and ensuring fast, reliable, and precise product delivery.
Responsibilities
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.

Working directly with our founders, product team, and our customers to shape what products we build and how we build them

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.
