Nearly $900B is spent on recruiting every year and the process is still broken. Paraform is building the global talent infrastructure where companies come to fill their most critical roles. Through every search, placement, and interaction on our platform, we capture proprietary hiring data that no one else has at scale, and that data powers the agentic systems we're building to make hiring faster, smarter, and more precise. We believe AI will create more jobs, not less. As companies move faster with fewer constraints, they'll hire more ambitiously and for roles that didn't exist before, making the hiring layer more critical than ever.
The Role
We have 15 engineers and $80M in ARR. That ratio is intentional. Every engineer at Paraform plays a massive role in shaping the direction of the business.
We're hiring a Software Engineer to work on our marketplace, the core of how Paraform connects companies with recruiters and candidates. You'll work closely with our marketplace product lead, shipping features that directly impact hiring manager experience, recruiter activation, and hiring outcomes.
What You’ll Work On
Our marketplace is what makes Paraform work. You'll be building the systems and experiences that drive both sides of it:
What We're Looking For
Why This Role
You'll have design and product support, clear priorities, and a team that ships constantly. Your work will directly shape how thousands of recruiters operate and how companies make their most important hires. If you want to build at a company where engineers punch well above their weight and the product actually matters, this is the job.
