Member of Technical Staff, Developer Productivity

You will be the first engineer dedicated to developer productivity at Parallel. You will own how our team builds, reviews, and ships software with AI, including code review, CI, the merge queue, testing, and deploys. You will build the tools and workflows that remove bottlenecks and help every engineer at Parallel ship faster and with more confidence.

Have deep intuition on developer tooling, build systems, CI/CD, and AI assisted development. You see software development changing with AI and want to build the tools this new reality needs. You have strong taste in what makes a tool great to use, and you care about understanding what other engineers need and building tools they love.
