Parse announced Thursday that the company is expanding across the pond and building a team in London. Since being acquired by Facebook last year, Parse has grown by more than 250 percent. More than 140,000 new developers started building mobile apps on Parse over the past year, with half of them coming from Europe, Middle East and Africa. The new London Parse team will support these developers.
Parse CEO Ilya Sukhar announced the news in a blog post:
The Parse London team will be based out of the Facebook London office, which is moving to a beautiful new location in central London in early June. We’re hiring engineers to help build the next big Parse products and to support products we’re building in collaboration with the Facebook Platform team.
We’re also looking for partner managers and partner engineers who will work directly with the biggest app developers in Europe, helping them to build awesome cross-platform apps using Parse. The team is already working with companies like Deezer, TopShop and Mind Candy.
We prioritize our product road map based on the feedback we get from our customers, and having a team on the ground in London allows us to cater the future of Parse products to the needs of our global community.
Parse’s London presence will be based at the new Facebook office at 10 Brock Street. The company is hiring partner managers and engineers to work directly with major U.K. app developers.
