About the Role

Job Title: Founding SRE / DevOps Engineer
Location: Unspecified
Employment Type: Full-time
Department: Unspecified

As we scale, we're looking for a Founding DevOps Engineer to join us at this pivotal moment. You won’t just keep the lights on — you’ll help architect a secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure from day one. This is a rare opportunity to build with high ownership, alongside a small and passionate team who cares deeply about craft, clarity, and impact.

Mission
As a Founding SRE / DevOps Engineer, you will:

• Design, implement, and maintain our cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS and Azure)
• Set up CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows for our AI and web applications
• Build secure, scalable, and observable systems for real-world usage in hospital environments
• Collaborate closely with engineering to define operational best practices from the start
• Ensure our systems are compliant with HDS (health data security) and data protection standards
• Proactively identify and resolve reliability bottlenecks or security risks
• Define our DevOps culture and processes, from incident response to infrastructure as code

Requirements
We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about infrastructure, reliability, and security. You are the ideal candidate if you have:

• 4+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure roles
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS or Azure
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, etc.) and container orchestration (Docker, potentially Kubernetes)
• Strong focus on system observability: logging, monitoring, tracing
• Experience with IaC tools like Terraform or Pulumi
• Strong security mindset, ideally with exposure to health data regulations (HDS, HIPAA, etc.)
• Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced startup environment

Technical Stack

• Backend: Typescript with NestJS, Express, Prisma, Postgres
• Frontend: React, TanStack, Tailwind
• Data: Python & Node (for low-level proxy servers)
• Tools: Monorepo, Github, Github Actions
• Infra: AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes
• CI/CD: Github, Github Actions, Monorepo setup
• Observability: Datadog
• AI/ML: Hugging Face, LangChain

Engineering Mindset

• Data security is our foundation, given our work with sensitive health data
• We focus on solving user problems, not shipping features — deep product involvement is essential
• Full type safety from database to UI
• Rapid development with tools like Cursor
• Automated best practices with eslint, Prettier, Jest, and TypeScript
• We leverage the latest technologies and libraries but sometimes, old boring tech that does the job is what’s needed
• Infrastructure should empower — not block — product iteration

Interview Process

• Quick chat with our CTO Chris
• Case study in our office in Paris
• Meeting with our CEO Paul
• Drink to meet the team

Life at Parallel
At Parallel, you’ll work at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and real-world impact. We move fast, iterate constantly, and ship meaningful work. We’re looking for people who care deeply about solving hard problems that matter.
