At Parallel Web Systems, we are bringing a new web to life: it’s built with, by, and for AIs. Our work spans innovations across crawling, indexing, ranking, retrieval, and reasoning systems. Our first product is a set of APIs for AIs to do more with web data.
We are a fully in-person team based in both San Francisco and Palo Alto, CA. Our organization is flat; our team is small and talent dense.
We want to talk to you if you are someone who can bring us closer to living our aspirational 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.
Job: Our first deployed engineer hire - you will work closest with our customers, help them get the most out of our API, and scale with them. You will understand their product and use-cases deeply, and understand our API. You will be the power user of our API.
You: Love working hands-on with customers. You are an engineer by training but also may have worked in consulting/PM/GTM or roles that are close to customers. You care most about owning customer impact.
Our founder is Parag Agrawal. Previously, he was the CEO and CTO at Twitter. Our investors include First Round Capital, Index Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and many others.
