About Parspec Parspec is building the AI and digital infrastructure for the construction materials supply chain.
Construction is a $15 trillion industry, yet the systems that underpin the buying and selling of materials remain fragmented, manual, and disconnected. Distributors and rep agencies rely on spreadsheets, PDFs, phone calls, and siloed tools to find new products and quote and manage projects; creating delays, errors, and margin erosion across the supply chain.
Parspec is an AI-native platform that powers how construction products are discovered, bought, and sold. Trusted by more than 300 MEP distributors and rep agencies, Parspec helps project-driven businesses bid faster, win more work, and operate more profitably. By combining product intelligence, AI-powered workflows, and a connected ecosystem, Parspec is laying the foundation for a more intelligent, efficient construction supply chain.
Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Mateo, California, Parspec has raised $31 million from leading deep-tech and construction-technology investors.
The Opportunity We are looking for a Senior Manual QA Engineer who will play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability and performance of Parspec’s platform powering construction product intelligence.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys breaking complex systems, deeply understanding product workflows and driving quality across distributed architectures.
