Paperpile

Paperpile is a reference management service for academic work. It lets users save papers and PDFs from the web, organize and search a library, read and annotate PDFs, and generate citations and bibliographies in Google Docs and Microsoft Word. It authenticates with Google accounts and connects to Google Drive.

The service is sold as individual subscriptions (Regular and Expert tiers, billed annually), plus an Enterprise tier with custom pricing that includes single sign-on and custom contracts. The website says it is used by researchers and students, and offers an academic discount and a group discount.

The company was founded in 2012 by three computational biologists who had been researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute and MIT. The website lists a mailing address in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and states that the product is developed in the US, Canada and Austria. The team page lists engineering, QA, data science, design, and customer support roles. The careers page shows open remote positions, including a Senior Backend Engineer and a Full-Stack Engineer (TypeScript, React) with AT (remote) location.
