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.
As our Infrastructure Engineer, you'll own the reliability, performance, and scalability of Runlayer's infrastructure as we grow to serve enterprise customers across multiple deployment models: multi-tenant SaaS, single-tenant SaaS, and BYOC.
Impact: Build the infrastructure foundation for the enterprise AI platform, directly enabling AI adoption at scale
