About the role

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain comprehensive benchmarks for document parsing and understanding
  • Publish high-quality technical content at a weekly cadence (blog posts, benchmark reports, technical comparisons, tutorials)
  • Stay deeply current with the document AI landscape - new models, papers, competitors, techniques
  • Run experiments and translate findings into publishable artifacts quickly
  • Produce technical analyses that demonstrate our capabilities against alternatives
  • Contribute to open-source examples, notebooks, and documentation
  • Collaborate with the core ML team to surface improvements and capabilities worth highlighting
  • Engage authentically with the developer community through technical content

Required Qualifications

  • Experience in software engineering (ML engineering + research a bonus)
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with production Python experience
  • Understanding of modern ML techniques, particularly in computer vision, NLP, or multimodal learning
  • Demonstrated ability to write clearly, quickly, and authentically about technical topics
  • Bias toward shipping - comfortable publishing at blog pace, not paper pace
  • Ability to read, understand, and synthesize research papers rapidly
  • Scrappy and self-directed - can identify what's worth writing about and execute end-to-end
  • Track record of high-velocity output in fast-paced environments

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with vision-language models, transformer architectures, or document AI specifically
  • Existing portfolio of technical writing (blog posts, tutorials, technical documentation)
  • Experience building evaluation frameworks or benchmarks
  • Familiarity with OCR, layout analysis, table extraction, or document structure understanding
  • Active presence in ML/AI technical communities
  • Experience with LLM applications and RAG systems
