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:
Own customer impact - It’s on us to ensure real-world outcomes for our customers.
Obsess over craft - Perfect every detail because quality compounds.
Accelerate change - Ship fast, adapt faster, and move frontier ideas into production.
Create win-wins - Creatively turn trade-offs into upside.
Make high-conviction bets - Try and fail. But succeed an unfair amount.
Job: Our first in-house legal hire — you’ll work directly with founders and engineering, shape how we build product and close deals, and define our stance on fair use, privacy and emerging AI regulation. You’ll run enterprise contracts, build our compliance and SOC-II process, and protect IP while supporting our mission to keep the web open.
You: Love solving challenging legal problems tied to cutting-edge technology. You like partnering with product and engineering, shaping how a business scales, and turning legal nuance into clear decisions. You care most about enabling the company to move fast, win enterprise deals, and stay responsible as we grow.
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.
