Parallel is building the most intelligent way to query the web, with and for AIs. We are developing powerful retrieval, ranking, and reasoning systems to enable the next wave of agents, AI-native apps, human + AI workflows that require large-scale web intelligence. We’ve raised $30M in funding by Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Index Ventures (and many others).
As our first Design Engineer, you’ll shape the user experience of our products, driving both strategy and execution across design systems, user interfaces, and workflows. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and GTM teams to define how customers interact with our platform and ensure a seamless, intuitive experience. This is a high-impact role where you’ll set the foundation for design at Parallel, owning everything from branding, UX research to UI design.
In this role, you will:
Own the end-to-end user experience. Lead design across landing pages, brand, and in-product UI, ensuring consistency, clarity, and quality from first touch to power use.
Accelerate the buildout of our core product. Partner closely with engineering to scale high-quality, performant interfaces that support real-world workflows and technical depth.
Prototype new applications and experiences. Rapidly explore ideas through code with a bias toward experimentation and speed.
Push the boundaries of interaction. Rethink how we explore, navigate, and manipulate information on the web. Blend strong front-end engineering with HCI instincts to invent new interaction patterns for the web.
Scale our design system. Build and maintain a robust component library and interaction patterns that scale across products enabling fast iteration and long-term consistency.
Design with data. Use user feedback, and experimentation to iterate and refine interfaces with precision and care.
Who You Are:
Thrive in a dynamic, 0-1 startup environment.
Experienced in designing for developer tools, AI, or enterprise products.
Proficient in Figma, Sketch, or similar design tools, with a strong grasp of front-end technologies (React, CSS, etc.).
Passionate about usability, accessibility, and creating seamless user experiences.
A proactive problem solver who thrives on cross-functional collaboration.
Value working alongside driven, kind, and creative problem solvers.
Hold a bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, or a related field.
