The posting

Paperpile runs on data at scale, with a literature database of 250M+ academic papers and a growing body of user data accumulated over more than a decade. You'll work across the systems that ingest, process, store, and serve this data reliably: building pipelines, optimizing search, handling PDFs at scale, and exposing clean APIs.

Requirements

  • Strong backend engineering background with experience building and operating data-heavy systems in production.
  • Experience deploying and operating services on AWS.
  • Experience designing and maintaining data ingestion pipelines handling messy, heterogeneous sources. Comfortable with web scraping and working with third-party data sources and APIs.
  • Familiarity with Node.js and TypeScript. It’s fine if you come from a different background, such as Java or Python, but you should be comfortable working in this environment.
  • High standards for data quality. You think carefully about correctness, deduplication, and consistency.
  • Solid understanding of full-text search systems including indexing strategy, relevance tuning, and query optimization.
  • Proficient in building reliable REST APIs.

More useful experience:

  • Familiarity with academic publishing formats and data sources (PubMed, Crossref, arXiv…)
  • Experience with PDF processing pipelines (extraction, transformation, storage and delivery at scale).
  • Experience with LLM-based document processing or ML pipelines for extracting structured data from unstructured text.
  • Large scale web crawling and scraping.

Benefits

  • Base compensation €60,000–€90,000 based on the level of your experience
  • Bonus/equity program.
  • 4 weeks paid vacation + local holidays.
  • We sponsor co-working space in your city.
  • Learn and grow. Try out new things. We sponsor relevant courses, seminars, and conferences.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
