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.
THE ROLE:
You will build the data foundations that powers model training, product building and analytics across the company. You will work across the full lifecycle: designing pipelines that ingest and transform data at scale, building the storage and serving layers that make it fast and reliable to query, and establishing the quality, lineage, and observability systems that let others trust the data. You will anticipate scaling bottlenecks before they appear and make the architectural calls that keep the platform ahead of growing demand.
ABOUT YOU:
Have deep intuition on distributed data processing, data modeling, and system reliability. You like to reason about the trade-offs between batch and streaming, between storage cost and query performance, and between build-it-yourself and off-the-shelf infrastructure. You care about the data being right, not just available, and about building systems that teams across the company can depend on without a second thought.
YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU HAVE:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience
- A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
- Years of experience required will correlated with the internal job level requirements for this position.

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 29 July 2026, last checked 22 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.
