Rossum

Despite nearly seven decades of moon exploration, manual data entry still dominates invoice and business document processing. Rossum's intelligent solution reads and understands electronic documents, extracting data for streamlined processing and ERP integration. Using machine learning and a user-friendly interface, our platform adapts to handle various corporate documents, enabling complete automation. This frees up time for meaningful work and enhances business agility and efficiency.

With the global advent of AI, automation has become the new standard, just as the cloud did. While other companies are just now learning to adapt standard language models, we develop our own solutions, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and advancing the industry by leaps and bounds. In 2024, we launched the innovative Rossum Aurora system, followed this year by our specialized AI agents. Think of it as adding a highly efficient junior colleague to your team—one who reads exponentially more documents, flagging errors and complex cases. They learn from real-world data without making careless mistakes. This brings us closer to our mission: to empower a single person to process one million transactions per year.

We're dedicated to uncovering the essence and finding the best solutions, regardless of their source. Our decision-making process involves thorough information gathering, data verification, and robust arguments to get to the heart of every issue. It's not about ownership, ego, or whose idea it was—it's about achieving the best possible outcome.

While we may have strong opinions, we readily pivot to the superior solution when presented with facts, data, and sound arguments. Working in a team that prioritizes excellence over being right is truly liberating.

When describing Rossum's founders, people often say they're passionate geeks with open hearts and minds. Despite their scientific backgrounds, they're actively involved in the company's progress, holding regular meetings to stay informed. They're demanding but flexible, united by their goal to make Rossum a global success and a proud representative of the Czech Republic in the startup world.

To fulfill our vision, we aim to reach every company's computer, freeing people from document retyping. Rapid growth is crucial, so we adopt new business frameworks to stay at the forefront of the market. This leads to occasional adjustments in team structures, sprint durations, and more. Our dedication to innovation remains unwavering; we don't change for the sake of change. Every modification is purposeful, backed by logic, and we evaluate the expected benefits. Change is our strategy, not just a cliché.

We seek those who share our passion for continuous development and learning. Fast learners, driven by curiosity and unafraid of making mistakes, thrive here. Transparency about these qualities is key.

Your current or past role doesn't matter; what counts is your ability to learn quickly and drive progress. We evaluate seniority based on leadership, work structure, achievements, and willingness to share insights with others.

At Rossum, we welcome individuals who thrive on pushing their limits, who possess the ability to chart a course when others are uncertain. We're looking for creative minds that can swiftly uncover unconventional solutions, relishing the freedom to forge new paths rather than following a predetermined route. We believe in creating Rossum for and with our like-minded team members, fostering a collaborative environment where we can rely on one another during busy times.

In Rossum, authority isn't about titles or tenure; it's earned through actions and relationships. It hinges on how you support your colleagues, deliver on promises, and communicate with honesty, kindness, and respect. Our leadership foundation revolves around genuine relationships, effective communication, and fostering personal growth in others. By helping those around us thrive, we, in turn, accelerate our own progress.

Working at Rossum is more than a job; it's a way of life we cherish. Whether it's the fantastic colleagues or Rossum's innovative technology, each of us has our reasons for falling in love with this company. Despite our differences, we're united by our shared commitment to Rossum's success and our willingness to go the extra mile. Our open, friendly atmosphere and authenticity at work keep us passionate about what we do, providing us with the energy we need.

Unlike many companies that cut corners to save costs, Rossum takes a different path. We invest in systems designed for companies three times our size, ensuring we're ready for the future. With global expansion on the horizon, we've already made strategic moves. We adopted Salesforce at 50 employees, deployed Netsuite at 150, and currently use HiBob to enhance our People Team's capabilities.  We believe in making our team's work easier today while preparing for tomorrow's challenges. This demonstrates our commitment to growth and allows us to expand teams and serve customers without operational constraints.

A lot of very smart people work at Rossum. We don’t want to sound elitist, but you will genuinely meet some of the brightest minds and talents here. You won't feel like the smartest person in the room, and that’s a great thing. You’re surrounded by people who are the best in their field and constantly improving, which is a huge source of daily inspiration. We aren't here to compete over who's smarter or has the biggest ego. For all of us, it's a challenge and an opportunity to learn something new and have long, philosophical, and interesting discussions. It’s a guarantee you won't stagnate here.

In the realm of document data extraction, developers invariably encounter formidable challenges. We must standardize documents, enhance reading capabilities, and, most critically, gain a deep understanding of the data they contain. Our aim is to create a cutting-edge solution that's both technologically advanced and user-friendly for mainstream clients.

Our product engineering team is tasked with developing the document processing platform. While it can presently handle hundreds of documents per minute, our goal is to scale it to process tens of thousands in the same timeframe—an unprecedented challenge we're tackling head-on.

We're also crafting a user-friendly web interface for clients, an extension of our AI capabilities. This interface enables clients to review, correct, and train the platform to recognize documents accurately. Our UX has always set us apart, and we're eager to take it further with the right talent.

Furthermore, we seamlessly integrate the backend, third-party services, and APIs to offer tailored solutions for larger clients.

Everything converges at the heart of artificial intelligence, where massive-scale neural networks and machine learning data infrastructure come into play. Our mission is to automate and productize every aspect effectively. For instance, when a client hits the "relearn" button, the app should generate the required dataset and elements automatically.

If the founders' vision of establishing a thriving machine learning and AI HUB in Prague, attracting global talent, becomes reality, our potential will be limitless. This vision is a collaborative effort with other successful global tech companies. With our exceptional people, top-notch technical education, and renowned Czech skills, we're well-prepared. We understand that groundbreaking concepts emerge when brilliant minds from diverse cultures converge around innovative ideas and technologies.

Like our investments in efficient tools, we also invest in our team by offering the opportunity to become shareholders within a year, on top of competitive salaries. At Rossum, it's all about our people—their satisfaction and enthusiasm drive everything we do. We maintain high performance standards and accountability while deeply appreciating our team's commitment. Our managers share a genuine interest in their teams, and we instill principles of respect, openness, and trust in our young leaders from the start.

What distinguishes us as a world-class startup is our global reach, headquartered in the Czech Republic. Recognizing the need for a team well-versed in the international landscape, we've assembled one of the most diverse go-to-market teams in Prague, supplemented by colleagues in London, the USA, and Luxembourg.

Despite our varied backgrounds, we share a remarkable connection. Beyond our common goal of Rossum's success, we bond over humor, camaraderie, a positive outlook, and the ability to innovate in any scenario. We frequently gather for laughter-filled lunches and celebrations after securing deals. Whenever one of us returns from their home country, they bring back local treats for all to enjoy.

We're revolutionizing the hybrid work model, advocating for individual freedom in choosing how and where to work. Recognizing diverse preferences, there's no fixed standard at Rossum—whether you work from home or the office is your choice. This flexibility enhances well-being, productivity, and our collective pursuit of company goals and vision. We're cultivating an environment that respects individual choices, enriching our corporate culture and fueling our success.

Regardless of your experience level, our tailored development program equips you for success. Many of us started without prior sales experience, yet within two weeks, we were confidently arranging demos. Success is about determination and going the extra mile, qualities we highly value. We provide robust support in exchange for exceptional results, enabling rapid growth, regardless of tenure or position. What matters most is how you seize opportunities, and when you reach for them, we're here to support you.

Our people-centric approach is evident in everything we do, including our onboarding process. We don't wait until your first day; we start two weeks in advance. You'll receive materials to get familiar with our culture and processes, ensuring a smooth transition into the team. On your first day, your buddy will introduce you to Rossum's history and values, and our onboarding team will provide ongoing support. Many of us were pleasantly surprised when, before joining, an onboarding team member reached out to offer assistance. That's the kind of warm welcome you can expect at Rossum.

Our offices are situated in the modern and beautifully lit Corso 2 building, right next to the Křižíkova metro station in the vibrant Karlín district. We often gather in nearby cafes and dine at excellent restaurants to enjoy each other's company.
