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

• Own the product end-to-end. You’ll build across Roadrunner’s core systems — fast, reliable, and genuinely delightful for the AEs who depend on them. These aren’t prototypes. They run in production.

• Ship AI agents that change how deals get done. You’ll design and deploy proactive agents that handle quoting, deal modeling, and complex multi-step workflows.

• Build for enterprise scale. Workflow engines powering approval flows for multibillion-dollar transactions at millisecond-level response times. The bar is high on purpose.

• Work directly with the people using what you build. Close feedback loops. Understand real pain. Ship again.

Example projects

• Sprinting two weeks to take a new feature from zero to shipped, iterating directly with AEs in the field.

• Building AI agents that proactively surface quoting recommendations and model complex deal structures before the AE even asks.

• Designing workflow engines that power approval flows for multibillion-dollar transactions with sub-millisecond response times.

What you’ll bring

• A track record of building and shipping great products end-to-end.

• Strong engineering fundamentals - you know the tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when each one matters.

• High autonomy and a builder’s mindset - you figure out what needs to be done and do it.

• Clear, direct communication across technical and non-technical audiences.

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

Bonus points if…

• Experience building or deploying AI/LLM systems in production.

• Familiarity with agent tooling, eval frameworks, or RAG pipelines.

• You’ve been a founder or early engineer and know what full ownership actually feels like.

• Prior experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders on technical projects.

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.
