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 how Parallel thinks about and secures its platform. You will set the direction, lead the security program, and be the technical leader that engineering, legal, and leadership lean on as we become the default web intelligence layer for AI. The companies building on Parallel are running critical infrastructure. You will define what trust and security look like for the next generation of AI infrastructure.

You: Have led security at a technical API, infrastructure, or developer-platform company. You think across product, infrastructure, compliance, and customer trust equally. You know how to make thoughtful tradeoffs between security posture, engineering velocity, and practical risk. You have the technical credibility to lead conversations with senior engineers, customers, auditors, and leadership alike.

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.
