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 help shape Parallel's business and financial strategy as a member of the Strategic Finance team. You’ll partner with leaders across the company, own key financial models, and use your analysis to drive critical company decisions. Projects may span compute analysis, pricing and packaging, unit economics by product, strategic distribution partnerships, and setting up KPIs for the business. You’ll pull data from wherever it lives and set it up for ongoing reporting to the leadership team. Your scope will grow as fast as you earn it.

You: You’ve spent a few years in a high-rigor seat like investment banking or strategy consulting, followed by an investing role at a private equity or growth firm, or a finance role at a high-growth company. You’ve built detailed, complex models from first principles, and you can defend every assumption when someone pushes back. You’ve used AI tools to do real work faster, and you’re eager to find new ways to apply them. You take ownership without being asked, flag problems early, and want to grow into a finance and general business leader at Parallel.

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.

• Generous equity
