An independent firm building software for network engineers.
ParkerSoftworks is being founded around a simple idea: the people who actually keep networks and infrastructure running deserve better desktop tools than the industry has shipped them.
Our mission
We build precision desktop applications for network automation, configuration management, compliance, deployment, and physical infrastructure — the unglamorous core of running real environments.
Most software built for these workflows is either bloated enterprise platform-of-platforms, or a half-finished script. We sit in between: small, focused tools, engineered with the same care you would expect from a serious product company, and designed to fit cleanly into the stacks operators already run.
How we work
ParkerSoftworks is currently a small, founder-led effort focused on shipping its flagship product, Filament, to a select group of early-access users. The other products on the roadmap are being designed and prototyped in parallel.
We are deliberately taking the slower, more careful path: standards over hacks, types over runtime surprises, real tests, and honest release notes. We would rather ship fewer products that hold up than stack a portfolio of demos.
Where we are today
The company is pre-launch. The LLC is in the process of being formed, and our first product is in advanced development. This site exists so that the engineers and teams we want to serve can find us, follow along, and get hands on as soon as early access opens.
Principles
What we will not compromise on
Honesty about scope
We will not list features we have not built. If a capability matters to you, ask — we will tell you exactly where it stands.
Standards over shortcuts
NETCONF/YANG, LLDP, SNMP and other open standards. No fragile vendor CLI scraping unless there is genuinely no alternative.
Operator empathy
Every workflow is designed around what an engineer actually does at 3am — not what looks impressive in a sales demo.
