Job description

About us

At Roadrunner, we’re replacing the broken CPQ software that Sales teams have complained about, worked around, and given up on for years. Not improving it - replacing it. We’re building a new agentic stack called PQA - Prompt, Quote, Approve, designed for the enterprise, on a data model built for how pricing actually works today.

We’re Kleiner Perkins’ first incubation since Glean, led by second-time founders with successful exits, and a team of engineers from Snowflake, Databricks, Citadel, Meta, Robinhood, Brex, and so on. We’re in-person in San Francisco, and we’re just getting started.

What you’ll do

• Set the tone for how the product looks and feels. You'll curate the taste of the product — every interaction, layout, and detail should feel intentional.

• Turn hard problems into UI that just works. CPQ is full of complex workflows and dense data — you'll make them feel simple without hiding the complexity users actually need.

• Work directly with engineers and the people using what you build. You'll be embedded with engineers on dedicated workstreams, making decisions in real time. Get feedback fast, iterate faster.

• Design with AI tools, for AI-native workflows. You'll shape how users interact with and trust AI agents, and use AI in your own process to move fast.

• Build an airtight design system. You'll evolve our design system so you and engineers can ship consistent UI at speed.

Example projects

• Designing a quoting experience that lets AEs configure complex multi-product deals in minutes instead of hours.

• Defining the visual language and component patterns for approval workflows that handle multibillion-dollar transactions — where clarity isn't a nice-to-have, it's a requirement.

• Evolving our design system to support new product surfaces while keeping the token architecture clean and the component library tight.

What you’ll bring

• Systems thinking. You see patterns across screens and build for reuse, not one-offs.

• High autonomy and a builder's mindset — you figure out what needs to be designed and do it.

• Experience designing with AI tools to move faster without sacrificing quality.

• Clear, direct communication with engineers and founders. You can articulate why a design works, not just what it looks like.

• Based in SF or excited to relocate — we're an in-person team.

Bonus points if…

• Strong visual chops — you sweat the details on layout, typography, color, and spacing

• Frontend-aware and have shipped a PR.

• Experience designing complex B2B/SaaS workflows, especially with AI-powered features where trust and user control matter.

• You've been at an early-stage company and know what full ownership of design actually feels like.

What we offer

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family.

• Lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and coffee to keep you energized.

• Take what you need vacation policy.
