Member of Technical Staff, Back-end & API
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 $130 million from Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Khosla Ventures, First Round, and Terrain to build the web for AIs. We're forming a world-class team of engineers, designers, marketers, sellers, researchers, and operational experts to achieve our mission.
Job: You will build and maintain our backend that already handles millions of custom requests daily, and ensure that it’s reliable, performant and exceeds expectations for our customers as we scale. You will also be a steward of our API and ensure that it’s developer-friendly and easy to integrate with.
You: Have deep intuition on distributed systems, databases, maintainable code design, and API design. You like to reason about trade-offs between speed, scalability, and developer ergonomics. You care about your work powering products and systems that millions rely on, and about APIs that developers love to use.
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.
