Job description

About Runlayer

AI is transforming how every company operates, but most enterprises are stuck. They want to move fast with AI Agents, tools, and workflows, but they can't do it safely. We're fixing that.

Our team built AI Actions for OpenAI, shipped Zapier Agents to millions of users, and launched the first remote MCP server with Anthropic. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually put AI to work.

Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents: purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can go all-in on AI across the entire company without the risk. We just raised a $30M Series A led by Felicis, with participation from Khosla Ventures, bringing our total raised to $42M. Already trusted by Gusto, Instacart, Opendoor, dbt Labs, and Decagon.

What You'll Do

• Own projects across the company: finance, legal ops, marketing, partnerships, compliance, GTM support, product research, recruiting, events, and whatever is highest priority that month
• Build internal processes where none exist, then automate them. We build agents & tools for our own ops on the same platform we sell
• Find growing pains & problems before they occur. Proactively work behind the scenes to fix them.
• Support board meeting prep and company reporting for Max, Head of Operations

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of work experience, with at least some of it in an operating role at a high-growth startup
• You use AI for everything
• Organized and precise
• Comfortable with ambiguity, thinks from first principles
• Low ego, high ownership. Some of the work is glamorous, most of it isn't, and all of it matters

What We Offer

We provide a competitive package designed to attract and retain top talent who can work effectively with enterprise customers.

• Competitive salary and equity — compensation that reflects your expertise and customer-facing responsibilities.
• Paid time off — paid vacation, paid sick leave, and paid parental leave.
• Professional development — budget for conferences, courses, and certifications in AI, enterprise software, and customer success.
• Top-tier equipment — your choice of laptop and accessories to create your ideal work environment.
• Health benefits — comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Customer interaction opportunities — work directly with innovative companies and see the immediate impact of your work.
