About usParallel 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.About youYou're a researcher who thinks like an engineer, or an engineer who thinks like a researcher. You've worked on information retrieval systems, embedding models, or neural ranking at scale, or you're deeply curious about the fundamental problems that emerge when training models to understand and serve billions of web documents. You thrive in the space between theory and production, where elegant solutions must also run efficiently on real infrastructure. You're comfortable reading papers from SIGIR and RecSys one day and debugging distributed training pipelines the next.The roleYou'll design and train the models that power Parallel's APIs: the intelligence layer that helps AI agents find exactly what they need from the open web. This means tackling research problems that most labs encounter only at hyperscale: How do you train embedding models that capture semantic intent across diverse query types? How do you balance model expressiveness with sub-second retrieval latency? How do you maintain index freshness when the web updates constantly, without rebuilding from scratch?Unlike traditional search engines built for human queries, you're building for AI agents that issue complex, multi-hop queries and expect structured, programmatic responses. This is information retrieval reimagined for the LLM era, work that combines classical IR techniques with modern deep learning, applied at a scale that demands new solutions.Life at ParallelOur 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.Compensation & benefitsCompetitive salaryGenerous equityVisa sponsorships401K plansDaily lunch & office snacksDinner at the officeUnlimited vacationCaltrain pass reimbursement
