About the team
Life at Scribd starts as a document, eBook or audiobook that gets uploaded to Scribd.
Our
conversion pipeline transforms these uploads into internal formats that
our platform uses to feed our users' desire to read in their browser or
mobile app.
This conversion pipeline
orchestrates numerous tasks that gather additional data e.g. text
retrieval (OCR), language classification, category classification, Spam
analysis and more.
Our performant and
high-available content serving layer then makes sure our vast library of
100 million documents and 1 million books gets delivered to our
customers' devices.
