About this role
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: We’re hiring a design engineer to help shape and build interactive experiences across Parallel’s website, product, and special projects. The work ranges from refining everyday interactions and motion to creating visual essays, data visualizations, launch pages, and minisites.
You’ll work alongside designers, marketers, and engineers from the first rough idea through to production. That means prototyping possible directions, contributing to our core website, and getting the details right in the browser. You’ll also build reusable components and patterns that help us ship the next project faster.
You: You’re a design engineer or a frontend engineer with strong design instincts. Your work shows care for typography, layout, and the timing and feel of an interaction. You’ve shipped working websites and can point to the decisions you made along the way. You’re comfortable with modern frontend and animation libraries, and know when to build something custom. You move quickly in prototypes and carry that work through to a responsive, accessible, performant site.
About Parallel Design: We design for a web used by both people and agents, grounding our work in real code, data, and evidence. We draw from the history of the web, computing, and publishing to help explain what comes next, while leaving room for experiments, tangents, and things made simply because they’re good.
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.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Parallel, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
Published 4 October 2026, last checked 11 days ago. A posting stops being advertised here 90 days after the employer published it, and one the employer takes down is marked closed rather than quietly removed.
