Job Description
ABOUT US
Parallel is a web infrastructure company. Our products are used by leading businesses in sales, marketing, insurance, and coding to build best-in-class AI agents with flexible and powerful programmatic access to the web.
We've raised $230 million from Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Khosla Ventures, First Round, and Terrain to build the web for AIs. We're currently valued at $2 billion and we're forming a world-class team of engineers, designers, marketers, sellers, researchers, and operational experts to achieve our mission.
Job: You will build, operate, and scale our infrastructure, including our infrastructure around large language models, and ensure that our systems are reliable and cost-efficient as we grow. You will anticipate bottlenecks before they appear, ensure that our architecture evolves to meet increasing demands, and build the tools and systems that keep engineering velocity high.
You: Have deep intuition on distributed systems, cloud platforms, performance tuning, and scalable architecture. You like to reason about trade-offs between cost, reliability, and speed of iteration. You care about your work enabling every team to build faster and ship confidently, and about infrastructure that can support products used by millions without breaking a sweat.
