About NanoNets
Nanonets is automating document information extraction using AI. We are headquartered in San Francisco. We are backed by prestigious investors from bay area like Y-Combinator, SV Angels, Sound Ventures by Ashton Kutcher. We are currently profitable and growing at a fast pace and looking to expand our team.
We are building a product that lets companies automate extracting key information from documents like invoices, receipts, or any other kind of document and integrate it into their workflows saving manual work. We need to keep building features that will let users automate millions of documents of different kinds every day, feed them to our AI for learning, plug our API to external systems like salesforce, quickbooks, RPA providers etc.

About the role
Skills: Torch/PyTorch, TensorFlowNanonets has a vision to automate the most complex, time-consuming processes inside companies which take away hours of valuation time from employees. Our workflow automation platform is powered with the latest models that can make sense of even unstructured data like documents.
Our client footprint spans across brands such as Toyota, Boston Scientific, Bill.com and Entergy to name a few enabling businesses across a myriad of industries to unlock the potential of their visual and textual data.
Some of the technical challenges we deal with are fine-tuning SOTA VLM’s for workflow automation, using generating architectures for their superior emergent behaviour to understand the world but also constraining those architecture to reduce hallucination and generate structured workflows which can be used in completely automated manner.
We recently announced a series B round of $29 million in funding by Accel and are backed by the likes of existing investors including Elevation Capital & YCombinator. This infusion of capital underscores our commitment to driving innovation and expanding our reach in delivering cutting-edge AI solutions to businesses worldwide.

- Experience with the latest semi-supervised, unsupervised and few shot architectures in Deep Learning methods in NLP/CV domain
- Strong command in probability and statistics.
- Strong programming skills.
- Have previously shipped something of significance, either implemented some paper or made significant changes in an existing architecture etc
Ideal candidate should have the following skillset
- Experience building and deploying systems
- Experience with Theano/Torch/Caffe/Keras/Python/Tensorflow all useful
- Experience writing production software would be a plus
- The ideal candidate should have developed their own DL architectures apart from using open source architectures.

Interesting Projects Other Senior DL Engineers Have Completed
- Deployed large scale multi-modal architectures that can understand both text and images really well.
- Built an auto-ML platform that can automatically select best architecture, fine-tuning method based on type and amount of data.
- Best in the world models to process documents like invoices, receipts, passports, driving licenses, etc
- Hierarchical information extraction from documents. Robust modeling for the tree-like structure of sections inside sections in documents.
- Extracting complex tables — wrapped around tables, multiple fields in a single column, cells spanning multiple columns, tables in warped images, etc.
- Enabling few-shots learning by SOTA finetuning techniques.
Candidate should have experience working on Deep Learning with an engineering degree from a top tier institute
