Founding Product Manager

Reducto•San Francisco, CA

6d•Onsite

About The Position

Reducto helps AI teams ingest real-world enterprise data with state-of-the-art accuracy. Most 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, enabling teams to build products, train models, and automate processes at scale. We’ve grown rapidly, increasing revenue 7x 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 Opportunity Reducto turns unstructured documents into structured, usable data. Our models and APIs power document intelligence for developers and enterprises across every vertical — from financial services to healthcare to legal. We're hiring our first product manager. This is a founding PM role, not a feature-team PM role. You'll set the product direction across everything from our core platform (APIs, no-code workflows, document processing) to how we package, price, and take it to market. There are no layers between you and the work. We think of this role as entrepreneurial at its core. If you've been a founder or aspire to be one, we especially want to talk to you..

Requirements

5+ years as a PM, engineer, or founder. You've taken a product from "we think there's something here" to "customers are paying for this." You're comfortable with ambiguity and can structure your own work without a playbook.
Deeply technical. You can read an API spec, discuss model architectures with researchers, and evaluate technical tradeoffs with engineering as a contributor, not a spectator. You use AI tools daily and understand the ecosystem firsthand.
Metrics-driven. You define success quantitatively. You're thoughtful about which metrics matter for individual features and how they ladder up to business outcomes. You back up your convictions with data and customer insight, not opinion.
Excellent taste. You notice the details — the copy, the flow, the naming, the speed. You can point to products you admire and articulate specifically why they're great. You want to build products people love, not just products that function.
Maniacal about outcomes. You don't wait to be told what to do. You identify what matters, make a plan, execute it, and hold yourself accountable. You understand that process is a tool, not a crutch, and you use just enough of it to move fast without creating chaos.

Nice To Haves

You've built technical products for developers or worked with document processing / AI infrastructure
You have a background in ML/AI product management, specifically shipping products powered by proprietary models
You've been at a high-growth startup that went from early traction to scale
You've built or scaled a horizontal platform across multiple verticals

Responsibilities

Find the right problems. You'll develop deep expertise in three areas: our customers and their workflows, our models and what they can and can't do, and the competitive landscape. Your job is to synthesize all three into a clear view of where to invest. You'll talk to customers constantly — the developers and technical buyers who use Reducto — and bring that context into every product decision. You'll work closely with our research team to understand model capabilities and translate improvements into product value.
Multiply the team. The best PMs don't just set direction — they make every person on the team more effective. You'll do this by removing obstacles before they become blockers, nailing launch plans so what ships actually gets used, de-risking decisions early, and keeping the full team aligned without unnecessary process. Clarity in direction matters, but it's a small part of the job. The larger part is blocking and tackling across every function so that the team is never waiting on you — they're accelerated by you.
Keep pace with AI-native development. Engineering velocity is compressing development cycles from quarters to weeks. But designs still take time. Customer feedback loops still take time. Go-to-market still takes time. Your job is to find the path that lets the rest of the org match the pace of engineering so that as a company, we have extraordinary velocity end to end — not just in the codebase. You should expect to be reinventing how you work.
Ship product end-to-end. Spec it, build it with engineering, test it with customers, launch it, measure it, iterate. You'll own the metrics that determine whether a feature is successful — both the feature-level signals and the top-line business metrics your work drives. That includes how the product translates into revenue: pricing, packaging, PLG motions, enterprise expansion. You think about what makes someone upgrade, not just what makes someone sign up. Write a PRD when it's useful, skip it when it's not. The output is what ships and the impact it has, not what gets documented.
Set the quality bar. Every surface should reflect the quality of our underlying technology. You'll QA features personally — not because no one else will, but because that's how you learn what needs to be better. You'll catch the rough edge before it ships and push for the extra polish that makes Reducto feel like a product built by people who care. This is a low-ego role. If something needs doing and no one else is doing it, it's yours. A PM who thinks any part of the product is beneath them will never work here.
Go broad and deep. Reducto is a horizontal product used across industries — financial services, healthcare, legal, insurance, and more. You'll need to develop real understanding across verticals and customer personas while still going deep enough in each to build products that solve specific problems well.
