Not improving it - replacing it. We’re building a new agentic stack called PQA - Prompt, Quote, Approve, designed for the enterprise, on a data model built for how pricing actually works today.\nWe’re Kleiner Perkins’ first incubation since Glean, led by second-time founders with successful exits, and a team of engineers from Snowflake, Databricks, Citadel, Meta, Robinhood, Brex, and so on. We’re in-person in San Francisco, and we’re just getting started.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn the product end-to-end. You’ll build across Roadrunner’s core systems - fast, reliable, and genuinely delightful for the AEs who depend on them. These aren’t prototypes. They run in production.\n\nShip AI agents that change how deals get done. You’ll design and deploy proactive agents that handle quoting, deal modeling, and complex multi-step workflows.\n\nBuild for enterprise scale. Workflow engines powering approval flows for multibillion-dollar transactions at millisecond-level response times. The bar is high on purpose.\n\nWork directly with the people using what you build. Close feedback loops. Understand real pain. Ship again.\n\nExample projects\nSprinting two weeks to take a new feature from zero to shipped, iterating directly with AEs in the field.\n\nBuilding AI agents that proactively surface quoting recommendations and model complex deal structures before the AE even asks.\n\nDesigning workflow engines that power approval flows for multibillion-dollar transactions with sub-millisecond response times.\n\nWhat you’ll bring\nA track record of building and shipping great products end-to-end.\n\nStrong engineering fundamentals - you know the tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when each one matters.\n\nHigh autonomy and a builder’s mindset - you figure out what needs to be done and do it.\n\nClear, direct communication across technical and non-technical audiences.\n\nBased in SF or excited to relocate - we’re an in-person team.\n\nBonus points if…\nExperience building or deploying AI/LLM systems in production.\n\nFamiliarity with agent tooling, eval frameworks, or RAG pipelines.\n\nYou’ve been a founder or early engineer and know what full ownership actually feels like.\n\nPrior experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders on technical projects.\n\nWhat we offer\nMedical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family.\n\nLunch and dinner, as well as snacks and coffee to keep you energized.\n\nTake what you need vacation policy.\n\nEqual opportunity\nWe value our differences, and we encourage all to apply - especially those whose identities are traditionally underrepresented in tech organizations. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, political belief, or any other characteristic protected by law. Roadrunner is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3073,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Sales Enablement"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T06:11:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.155,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":179,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/roadrunner-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/roadrunner-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T21:08:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1147,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":688329},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=688329"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Froadrunner-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Froadrunner-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Froadrunner-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/roadrunner-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Froadrunner-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":797409}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"roadrunner.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":797409},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
