Technical Recruiter

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 full cycle recruiting for engineering at Parallel, running searches from intake through close across all technical roles including ML, backend, data, deployed engineering, and research roles. You will partner directly with engineering leaders to define role scope, design interview loops, and calibrate what “great” looks like for each profile. You will drive sourcing and outbound for senior and hard to fill technical roles and keep every candidate moving without anyone going cold. You will help sharpen the scorecards, interviewer training, and playbooks the team runs on as engineering headcount scales quickly, report on pipeline health and pass through rates, and be trusted to close high conviction offers.

You: Have run full cycle technical recruiting at an early stage or fast growing company and know how to own engineering searches end to end. You can speak credibly with ML engineers and researchers about their work, and you know the difference between a strong systems engineer and a strong research engineer. You write outbound that gets responses from engineers who are not looking, and you know how to close a candidate weighing offers from the best AI companies in the world. You are fluent in equity and compensation conversations and comfortable navigating visa and immigration timelines. You work well solo but are just as sharp coordinating with other recruiters on shared priorities, and you move fast because momentum matters at a company at this stage.
