Parallel Web Systems | San Francisco/Palo Alto | ONSITE | Full-time

Parallel builds web infrastructure for AI: think low level primitives for retrieval and automation but also high-level structured products for performing repetitive tasks using AI + web data: enrichment, deep research, web monitoring, etc. - our founder is Parag Agrawal, ex-CEO of Twitter. We raised $130M.

We're hiring for 12 roles:

- GTM - Forward-deployed engineers - AI Researchers - Front end dev + More

If you don't see a role that suits you, get in touch. Same user on X/LI.

You may be looking at our first benchmarks on the homepage— the latest ones for the Search API were conducted against GPT-5: https://parallel.ai/blog/introducing-parallel-search


There are very broad consequences for a world that no longer accesses the web primarily through Google Search. We're building for that too!


An MCP server that uses the Parallel Task API to perform deep research and enrichment tasks with data from the open web.


Doesn't this kill two birds with one stone?

Forcing users to pay for apps rather than install pirated APK's and unlocked apps both raises Google's revenue and reduces the risks of malware and scams.

The consequence is naturally, the savvy users who know how to avoid risks lose the ability to have more control over their phone.


This assumes that Google actually does reduce malware and scams within their garden, but they do not. They are just as prevalent (perhaps more so) within the apps that Google certifies.

So the only thing it kills is the risks to Google's revenue, not the risks to users' security.


That has yet to do any successful ads at scale**


I would be extremely surprised if they don't get kickback through their existing shopping features. It's just well integrated, so it doesn't look like advertisements.

Both Kagi and Perplexity are customers of Brave, btw. See https://brave.com/api or just ask if you have questions. Will answer what I can for anyone curious.


Dunno about DDG but on Brave Search you can turn off the AI summaries if you prefer not to have them. Disclosure: I work at Brave.


The irony is it’ll likely be the opposite.
