About Datalab

Datalab trains models that read documents reliably at scale. The world's most important information is trapped in PDFs, scans, and files that can't easily be parsed, and getting it out correctly matters. From frontier AI labs processing training data to Fortune 500s like Siemens extracting decades of engineering records, Datalab is where businesses turn to when extraction has to be right.

We’re at high 7-figure ARR. Anthropic, Legora, Booz Allen, and ElevenLabs are customers. And we have hundreds more across FAANG, frontier AI labs, healthcare, finance, government, and legal. Our tools, chandra, surya, marker, and lift, have 70,000+ GitHub stars and broad developer mindshare. We're backed by founding members of OpenAI, FAIR, and Hugging Face.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Founding Engineer to develop and evangelize our open source repos. This includes chandra, surya, marker, pdftext, and lift, which collectively have over 70k Github stars. It also includes new tools we have yet to build and launch.

As you work on our repos, you’ll also become the credible person to evangelize
