Demand Generation Lead

Runlayer, San Francisco, CA, United States


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. The co-creator of MCP is on our cap table. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually use it.

Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents.

Purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can push AI forward across the entire company without the risk. We raised $11M from Khosla Ventures and Felicis, and customers include Gusto, Instacart, and Opendoor.

We're a team of 25, mostly engineers, shipping fast. If you want to work at the center of how AI gets things done, this is the moment.

As our Demand Gen Lead, you'll build Runlayer's paid acquisition engine from zero. We run no paid today (all inbound is organic), but we have the budget, the deal sizes, and the pipeline pressure to make paid a real channel. You'll own paid ads, landing pages, SEO/AEO, and growth experimentation.
