Cloud Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a deep intuition on distributed systems and cloud platforms — your experience allows you to anticipate bottlenecks before they appear and ensure that architecture evolves to meet increasing demands. You understand the trade-offs between cost, reliability, and speed of iteration, and you care about enabling every team to build faster and ship confidently. Your expertise in performance tuning and scalable architecture makes you a valuable asset in supporting products used by millions without breaking a sweat.

You thrive in a flat, talent-dense organization and enjoy collaborating with engineers, designers, and operational experts to solve complex problems. You are passionate about applying science and creativity to build best-in-class AI agents, and you are excited about the opportunity to contribute to a company that has raised significant funding to innovate in web infrastructure.

What you'll do

In this role, you will build, operate, and scale the infrastructure at Parallel Web Systems, focusing on systems that support large language models. You will ensure that our systems are reliable and cost-efficient as we grow, and you will be responsible for building the tools and systems that keep engineering velocity high. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve infrastructure challenges, ensuring that our architecture can handle increasing demands as we expand our product offerings.

You will also be involved in performance tuning and optimizing our cloud infrastructure, making high-conviction bets on new technologies and approaches to improve our systems. Your role will require you to creatively turn trade-offs into upside, helping the team to ship fast and adapt faster to changing needs. You will be expected to contribute to a culture of experimentation and learning, where trying and failing is part of the process of innovation.
