Overview
Pulse is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in data infrastructure: extracting accurate, structured information from complex documents at scale. We have a breakthrough approach to document understanding that combines intelligent schema mapping with fine-tuned extraction models where legacy OCR and other parsing tools consistently fail.
We are a small, fast-growing team of engineers in San Francisco powering Fortune 100 enterprises, YC startups, public investment firms, and growth-stage companies. We are backed by tier 1 investors and growing quickly.
What makes our tech special is our multi-stage architecture:
Layout understanding with specialized component detection models
Low-latency OCR models for targeted extraction
Advanced reading-order algorithms for complex structures
Proprietary table structure recognition and parsing
Fine-tuned vision-language models for charts, tables, and figures
If you are passionate about the intersection of computer vision, NLP, and data infrastructure, your work at Pulse will directly impact customers and shape the future of document intelligence.
What we are looking for
5 days in-office at our San Francisco office
Eager to learn and adapt quickly
Prior startup or founding experience is a plus

Build evaluation, data curation, and active learning pipelines
Optimize inference, batching, and quantization on GPU
Productionize models with clear SLAs and rollback plans
Write internal notes that inform model and product roadmaps
Requirements
3+ years in applied ML or research, or strong open source record
PyTorch or JAX, and modern vision or multimodal architectures
Solid engineering discipline and metrics focus
