  • An ownership mindset - At Runway, we position our team to understand customer problems, and give them the autonomy to find the best path forward
  • Pride in your craft - We’re looking for people who take pride in their work and are always looking to improve it. If our work doesn’t matter to us, we won’t end up mattering to our customers
  • An inclusive approach to your work - We’re looking for somebody who loves to collaborate cross-functionally to achieve great customer outcomes and who is excited to contribute to our culture

What the job involves

  • Build product - As part of the engineering team and working across the stack at Runway, you'll be working closely with design and product to plan, architect, and implement our core product
  • We iterate on the product experience to get it right, working in small batches and moving fast to deliver value for customers
  • Build our technical foundation - Work we do today can make our future work better and faster
  • Since our product is tackling a complex problem, we’ll need to build a foundation that is flexible and allows us to adapt to a wide variety of product needs
  • Grow the team - Everyone on the early team plays an important role in attracting, closing, and growing other talented team members
  • The biggest factor in our ability to build amazing products is the team, so we look to you to help set the example for the kind of team we all want to build together
  • Commenting, pull requests, and other features that make collaborating in Runway joyful
  • Developing AI capabilities that take the tedium out of modeling and help customers under changes in their businesses better
  • Full version history that enables users to time travel to arbitrary points in time
  • No-code data visualization and analysis tools that enable more people within an organization to understand their financials

Our take

Runway sets out to make financial planning simpler for businesses, with a platform that replaces tedious spreadsheets and dispersed data with modern modelling and planning tools. Through its various functions, users can automate the updating of their forecasts with new data, connect their numbers to business context, and answer "what if" scenarios with the help of an AI co-pilot, as well as much more.

With its easy-to-implement and easy-to-understand approach, Runway is a promising proposition for businesses who want to ensure all their teams can understand and act aligned with their key goals. The company has seen significant funding that will support it in its development, with a real chance to capture new clientele as demand for this sort of product is only set to rise.
