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.

The role:
You will be the first engineer dedicated to developer productivity at Parallel. You will own how our team builds, reviews, and ships software with AI, including code review, CI, the merge queue, testing, and deploys. You will build the tools and workflows that remove bottlenecks and help every engineer at Parallel ship faster and with more confidence.

About you:
Have deep intuition on developer tooling, build systems, CI/CD, and AI assisted development. You see software development changing with AI and want to build the tools this new reality needs. You have strong taste in what makes a tool great to use, and you care about understanding what other engineers need and building tools they love.

You might be a good fit if you have:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience

• Experience building developer tooling, CI/CD, build systems, or internal platforms that other engineers depend on every day

• Hands on experience using AI coding and review agents in your daily workflow, with informed opinions on where they help and where they fall short

Life at Parallel

We believe in a fully in person work culture 5 days a week. We’re building strong offices in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Austin, and New York. Your office and in office days will depend on your team, and we will walk you through the details during the interview process. 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.
