People Ops

About the role

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 be Parallel's first People Ops hire, which means you own everything from the employee lifecycle to the compliance infrastructure that lets us scale past the thresholds that matter. Rippling is already in place - your job isn't to implement systems, it's to run them well and build the layer of process and judgment on top that a growing company actually needs. You'll manage benefits administration, onboarding and offboarding, employee relations, and compliance. You: You've spent five or more years in People Ops, at least some of it at a startup where you were building things that didn't exist yet. You know employment law well enough to spot a compliance gap before it becomes a problem, and you've managed HRIS platforms - Rippling or something close - without treating them as an excuse not to think. You've handled sensitive employee matters with discretion and come out with trust intact. You're not waiting for a playbook and you don't need one handed to you - you write it. Life at Parallel Our team works fully in-person , between our Palo Alto HQ and San Francisco office. We're a flat, talent-dense organization dedicated to solving technical and creative problems. We seek like-minded individuals who share our passion for applying science, creativity, and consistency to big and complex problems with equally big outcomes. These are our 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.
