VP Engineering

Who are we and What we do

Join us on our mission to use ML to save humanity from drowning in paperwork. At Klarity (YC S18), we’re already saving thousands of hours for companies like Coupa, MongoDB and Okta that were previously spent on reading documents to extract data. We’re building a future where all documents are seamlessly turned into structured data that are fed into existing systems. In the last 6 months, we’ve more than 3xd our ARR and are on track to 5xing over the next 12 months. 

Having just raised an $18m Series A led by Tola Capital, our #1 focus is building a phenomenal senior leadership team. If you are excited about a future where people don’t have to review documents, we want to hear from you!
