🌍 About Us

Unstructured is defining the standard for enterprise data transformation in the age of LLMs and GenAI. In just two years, we’ve raised over $65M from the world’s leading AI investors and serve many of the most sophisticated organizations building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems today.
Our mission is to make unstructured data—PDFs, HTML, PowerPoints, images, and more—as easy to use as structured data. We’re building a platform that transforms messy, complex data into high-quality inputs for LLMs, analytics, and search systems.

đź”§ About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team of exceptional engineers building and scaling Unstructured’s core data and infrastructure systems. You’ll be both a technical leader and execution driver—someone who can dive into architecture and code reviews, while also establishing the processes that keep teams delivering at startup speed with enterprise-grade reliability.
You’ll report to the Head of Infrastructure and Engineering, working closely with product and platform teams to drive technical excellence, delivery discipline, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization.

💡 What You’ll Do

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of backend engineers working across data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration systems.
Stay hands-on—review designs, guide architecture decisions, and contribute to code in Python and Kubernetes environments when needed.
Partner with the Head of Infra & Eng to define technical roadmaps, delivery milestones, and success metrics.
Establish lightweight, high-impact engineering processes that improve reliability, speed, and quality (CI/CD, testing, code review).
Drive clarity and accountability across projects, ensuring alignment between engineering, product, and customer outcomes.
Foster a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and operational rigor.
Support recruiting, onboarding, and the ongoing growth of top engineering talent.

đź§  What You Bring

10+ years of experience in software engineering, including 3+ years leading high-performing teams.
Strong technical background in distributed systems, data infrastructure, or platform engineering.
Deep fluency in Python and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, AWS/GCP/Azure).
Track record of shipping and operating complex production systems.
Experience establishing scalable delivery processes and engineering best practices.
Exceptional communication, mentorship, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to balance technical depth with execution speed.

🚀 Bonus Points

Experience working with or building for LLM, RAG, or GenAI systems.
Familiarity with modern data processing frameworks (Spark, Ray, Dask) or orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect).
Experience in open-source or early-stage, high-growth startup environments.

đź’¬ Why Unstructured

Shape the foundation of AI data infrastructure used by enterprises and developers across the world.
Work on deeply technical challenges at the intersection of data, distributed systems, and AI.
Join a small, world-class team that moves fast, iterates quickly, and values engineering excellence.
Flexible environment with strong engineering-first culture.
Unlimited PTO, amazing benefits, and a culture that you just can't beat!

Unstructured addresses a significant challenge many enterprises face: leveraging their vast amounts of unstructured data for use with large language models (LLMs) and other AI applications. Customers often struggle with data in various formats like PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, HTML files, images, and more, which are not readily usable by machine learning models. This is where Unstructured steps in, providing solutions to automate the preprocessing of this messy, human-generated data. Our platform transforms raw data into clean, structured formats, making it compatible with LLMs for tasks such as fine-tuning, pre-training, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Our customers need to unlock the potential of their internal data to enhance productivity, drive innovation, and gain actionable intelligence. Unstructured offers open-source libraries and commercial API products designed to simplify and accelerate this data transformation process. We enable organizations to connect their enterprise data, regardless of file type or layout, to LLMs efficiently. This means data scientists and engineers no longer need to spend the majority of their time on the laborious task of data preprocessing, which traditionally involves building custom, brittle pipelines for each data type. By providing robust tools for data ingestion, partitioning, cleaning, and staging, Unstructured empowers businesses to build powerful AI applications based on their own specific, high-quality data, rather than relying solely on generic, pre-trained models. This allows for more accurate, relevant, and secure AI-driven insights and workflows.
