About Runway
Runway is a collaborative business planning platform designed to make business intuitively understandable for everyone.
Our Mission: To make business accessible and understandable to everyone. We believe that teams that understand the âwhyâ behind their work are more productive and make better decisions. True alignment and collaboration come from having a shared source of truth that everyone understands.
Our Approach: Runway replaces traditional spreadsheets with a modern planning platform that brings clarity and context to business operations for all teams â not just finance. Just as Figma made design accessible across the organization, Runway does the same for business planning.
Why It Matters: Understanding requires more than just access to numbers; real collaboration happens when teams see how their work fits into the bigger picture. By providing this context, Runway helps teams save time and move faster.
Our Customers: World-class companies like AngelList, Superhuman, Stability.AI, ConvertKit, Lambda Labs, Lob, and SandboxVR rely on Runway to run their businesses more efficiently.
Our Investors: We are supported by a select group of investors that we admire, including Garry Tan (YC & Initialized), a16z, Elad Gil, Naval Ravikant, Dylan Field (founder of Figma), Eric Ries, Claire Hughes Johnson (COO of Stripe), Henry Ward (founder of Carta), Akshay Kothari (COO of Notion), Eugene Wei, Lenny Rachitsky, Nikita Bier, Scott Belsky, Soleio Cuervo, Balaji Srinivasan, and many others.
Working at Runway
We're early, so you'll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but the company itself: who we work with, and how we work together.
We strive to be clear in our communication and over-communicate by default.
We're remote-first, so you can work from anywhere in North America. However, we also believe in the value of face-time to solve really hard problems, so we:
Meet together as a company every quarter in our San Francisco office.
Open up offices in places with many teammates (we currently have offices in SF and NYC).
Make it easy to fly out and meet together.
Below are the values we share as a team, so if you like these, youâll enjoy working here.
What youâll do
Build product - You'll be working closely with design, product, CX, and our customers to plan, architect, and implement our core product. We take big swings to build the right experience for our customers - and want someone who can do that while working iteratively to make sure weâre shipping fast.
Build our technical foundation - Work we do today can make our future work better and faster. Since our product is tackling a complex problem that each company has its own spin on, weâre building a foundation that is powerful and flexible.
Grow the team - ****Everyone on the early team plays an important role in attracting, closing, and growing other talented team members.
What you could work on
Building a brand-new modeling experience that captures our learnings of the past few years.
Building realtime collaboration tools like git-style branching, comments, and user presence.
Scaling our frontend to support a beautiful and fluid UX backed by millions of rows of customer data.
Developing AI features that take the tedium out of modeling and help customers better understand their businesses.
Best in-class data visualization and analysis tools that our customers can proudly share with their investors and employees.
Weâd love to hear from if you haveâŚ
An ownership mindset - ****We position our team to understand customer problems, give you the autonomy to find the best path forward, and expect you to own the solutions.
5+ years of professional fullstack engineering experience - Weâre looking for somebody comfortable with solving hard technical problems, refactoring when needed, and knowing whatâs enough and whatâs too much to solve a problem. Staff-level experience is a plus.
A track record of building high-quality products fast - ****Runwayâs got big ambitions to be the best way since Excel to model your business. This is a high standard - and we need folks that can live up to it. Weâre also a startup and that means we have to work quickly.
A growth mindset - Weâre looking for people who take pride in their work and are always looking to improve it. If your work doesnât matter to you, it wonât end up mattering to our customers. If youâre not growing, your impact wonât grow either.
A collaborative approach to your work - Weâre looking for somebody who loves to solve customer problems - and not just in the engineering silo. Youâll work with PM, design, CX, sales, marketing, and users to build the product. Youâll also work with all of us to shape the culture.
