From the employer
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 shape Parallel's go-to-market strategy and build the marketing function. You will define how we position against incumbents, own the narrative around accuracy and cost, and turn benchmark wins and customer proof points into demand. You will set the roadmap across brand, content, developer community, and growth.
You: Have built or scaled marketing at a technical API or infrastructure company. You think in positioning and pipeline equally. You are comfortable going deep on product to extract what actually matters, and translating that into messaging that lands with AI engineers and technical buyers. You have some “spice” in how you think about building a brand and reaching audiences.
