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 own full-cycle recruiting for Parallel’s marketing team, running searches from intake through close across product marketing, demand gen, growth, content, brand, and marketing ops. You’ll partner directly with marketing leadership and the founders to define role scope, build interview loops, and calibrate what “great” looks like for each role, including how to evaluate portfolios, work samples, and take-home exercises. You’ll drive sourcing and outbound for hard-to-fill and senior roles, manage candidates through the pipeline without letting anyone go cold, and help sharpen the scorecards and playbooks the team runs on as headcount scales fast. You’ll report on pipeline health and hiring velocity to the recruiting lead, and you’ll be trusted to close high-conviction offers on your own.

You: Have run full-cycle recruiting at an early-stage or fast-growing company, with marketing hiring as a core part of your desk. You know the difference between a product marketer and a demand gen lead, and you can tell a strong portfolio from a polished one. You write outbound that gets responses from people who aren’t looking, and you know how to close a candidate who has three other offers. You work well solo but you’re just as sharp coordinating with other recruiters on shared priorities, and you move fast because slow hiring kills momentum at a company this stage.

Life at Parallel

Our team works fully in-person, between our Palo Alto HQ and San Francisco office. We’re a flat, talent-dense organization dedicated to solving technical and creative problems.

We seek like-minded individuals who share our passion for applying science, creativity, and consistency to big and complex problems with equally big outcomes. These are our values:

• Own customer impact: It’s on us to ensure real-world outcomes for our customers.

• Obsess over craft: Perfect every detail because quality compounds.

• Accelerate change: Ship fast, adapt faster, and move frontier ideas into production.

• Create win-wins: Creatively turn trade-offs into upside.

• Make high-conviction bets: Try and fail. But succeed an unfair amount.
