APIs for AI-driven web research
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.
You will build and maintain our backend that already handles millions of custom requests daily, and ensure that it’s reliable, performant and exceeds expectations for our customers as we scale. You will also be a steward of our API and ensure that it’s developer-friendly and easy to integrate with.
Have deep intuition on distributed systems, databases, maintainable code design, and API design. You like to reason about trade-offs between speed, scalability, and developer ergonomics. You care about your work powering products and systems that millions rely on, and about APIs that developers love to use.

APIs for AI-driven web research
Parallel Web Systems builds infrastructure and tools that let artificial intelligence use the web effectively. Its core products are APIs, including a Deep Research API and a Search API, that give AI agents fast and accurate access to web data. The systems re-engineer every layer of data flow—from crawling and indexing to ranking—so machines can consume information efficiently rather than humans. Developers and enterprises embed these APIs into their applications to enable real-time research, workflow automation, coding assistance, and market intelligence. The company differentiates itself by focusing on AI-native web access and machine-to-machine research, creating a programmatic web where AI agents can autonomously query, analyze, and synthesize information. Its goal is to establish a standard way for AI to interact with the web, powering automated research and data-driven workflows at scale.
