Full 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 recruiting for early career engineering talent at Parallel, hiring new grads and early career engineers across ML, backend, and data roles. You will source from top CS programs, research labs, and early stage startups, and build relationships with the students and engineers who will become the next generation of great builders. You will partner directly with engineering leaders to define role scope, design interview loops, and calibrate what “great” looks like for each profile. You will partner with engineering leaders to calibrate what strong early career talent looks like and keep a fast and thoughtful process for every candidate. You: Have run full cycle technical recruiting at an early stage or fast growing company and know how to own engineering searches end to end. You can speak credibly with ML engineers and researchers about their work, and you know the difference between a strong systems engineer and a strong research engineer. You write outbound that gets responses from engineers who are not looking, and you know how to close a candidate weighing offers from the best AI companies in the world. You are fluent in equity and compensation conversations and comfortable navigating visa and immigration timelines. You work well solo but are just as sharp coordinating with other recruiters on shared priorities, and you move fast because momentum matters at a company at this stage.
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.
