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.

About the Role

As our Head of Field Engineering, you'll build and lead the team responsible for the technical side of Runlayer's customer motion. You'll own Forward Deployed Engineering end-to-end, taking the function from three engineers today to ten by year-end and into a multi-region organization in the year that follows.

Why You'll Thrive Here

• Impact: You will define how Runlayer's customers move from initial interest to enterprise-wide deployment, owning the team that converts pilots into production at the world's most demanding companies.

• Excellence: You'll partner directly with the CEO, CPO, and VP of Go-to-Market to build the technical playbook that takes a customer from first touch to thousands of seats deployed.

• Ownership: You'll recruit, hire, ramp, and lead the team; build the onboarding program; codify operational standards; and establish the technical best practices that scale with the business.

What You'll Do

• Build and lead the Forward Deployed Engineering team. Recruit, hire, and onboard the next seven Forward Deployed Engineers, with continued hiring through the following year.

• Establish the onboarding program. Define how new Forward Deployed Engineers ramp on the product, demo motion, pilot execution, and customer engagement standards.

• Bring operational rigor to the existing team. Codify how the team moves a customer from initial interest to a thousand-plus seat deployment, with consistent quality and predictable outcomes.
