Narrative:
I was pm. On taxi out I noticed aircraft Y parked just clear of 34L; on taxiway A8. We proceeded normally for takeoff; completed checklists; and received takeoff clearance for 34L. Aircraft Y was still parked on taxiway A8 facing east. Our takeoff roll was normal and we started rotation approximately around taxiway A10. Passing taxiway A8; our aircraft experienced an abrupt left roll due to the jet blast of aircraft Y. We were approximately 50-100 ft in altitude. Passing 1000 ft; we configured for climb and I mentioned to the captain that 'I knew that was going to happen.' tower gave us the handoff to departure. Before switching frequencies; I mention to tower that even though I assumed aircraft Y was at idle power; we received a significant jet blast induced roll at rotation. I also mentioned that A8 wasn't the smartest place to park aircraft Y.I noticed this hazard on taxi out and minimized its significance. I had experienced a similar situation in a different aircraft over 10 years ago. I failed to mention the hazard to the captain and/or ground control. I write this report to highlight the hazard for smf ground control and general pilot awareness.

Title: Air carrier First Officer reported an uncommanded roll shortly after takeoff due to the exhaust stream from a parked aircraft with engines running pointed toward the departure runway.
