Runta, San Mateo
BUILD THE EXECUTION LAYER FOR THE AGENT ERA.
Runta builds runtime infrastructure for long-running AI agents: efficient execution, enforceable access controls, and complete execution records.
We’re a small, well-funded team based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Singapore. High talent density. High ownership.
Our runtime team builds the engine. You get developers to pick it up on their own, keep using it, and tell other people about it.
Runta runs, governs and records long-running agents. Underneath that are microVMs, snapshot graphs and audit machinery. Your job is to make sure an agent builder who finds us on X or GitHub gets an agent running in five minutes and comes back the next day. You own the self-serve path from first visit to paying user: the SDK, the CLI, the quickstart, the examples, and the public story around them.
Nice to have: Developer advocacy or technical content that people actually shared, growth or activation experiments, new grads with a strong public building record.
Runta builds runtime infrastructure that lets AI agents execute reliably over long time horizons: run agents efficiently, govern what they can reach, and record what they did. Workloads that run for hours or days break the assumptions web infrastructure is built on. An agent can fan out fifty sub-tasks in a second and then go idle for ten minutes, must survive instance recycling mid-run, and needs to snapshot, resume, and branch its execution state the way developers branch code. We’re building the substrate that makes this possible.
We’re a small, well-funded team, moving fast.
Small team, high trust, high ownership. We value people who are hungry, humble, and sharp. We look for clear communicators who hold strong opinions loosely and use AI-native workflows in their daily engineering. You’ll work directly with the founder, alongside the core runtime and isolation teams.
