Full Job Description
Job: You will own the training pipeline behind the models that power both Parallel's search stack and Parallel's agents. On the search side, that means the rankers, classifiers, and query models that surface the right information. On the agent side, that means the models that help our agents plan, reason, and execute high-value tasks over web data. You will build the path from real product usage to high-quality training data, fine-tune and evaluate these models rigorously, and ship them safely to traffic used by millions.

You: Have deep intuition on modern models and training, including transformer fine-tuning, data curation, and the craft of label quality. Think rigorously about how ranking, retrieval, and agent behavior inform one another, and how to train models that serve all three. You care about your research being applied to product and systems that millions use.

  • Own customer impact: It's on us to ensure real-world outcomes for our customers.

  • 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.
