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 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:

  1. Own customer impact - It’s on us to ensure real-world outcomes for our customers.

  2. Obsess over craft - Perfect every detail because quality compounds.

  3. Accelerate change - Ship fast, adapt faster, and move frontier ideas into production.

  4. Create win-wins - Creatively turn trade-offs into upside.

  5. Make high-conviction bets - Try and fail. But succeed an unfair amount.

Job: Our first finance and commercial hire, you will build out the foundations our finance stack, drive key commercial initiatives and strategy, and obsess over the numbers that will drive our business. You will lead special projects.

You: Curious, first principles thinker, relentless, competitive. Obsession over details. While finance is your "major" and you may have previously held roles in Investment Banking, Private Equity, VC or Hedge Funds, you are drawn to solving complex business problems and building new markets. You aspire to build and scale a finance organization.

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.
