About the job

MCP is the bridge between AI and enterprise tools and data — a standard established by Anthropic and embraced by leaders like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. Our involvement in shaping this standard speaks volumes about our expertise.

Our dedicated team has developed AI Actions for OpenAI, delivered Zapier Agents to millions, and rolled out the first remote MCP server in partnership with Anthropic. We are now focused on equipping enterprises with the necessary tools to safely implement MCP.

Runlayer serves as the control plane for enterprise MCP — providing security, observability, and management solutions that enable organizations to integrate AI into their systems without compromising safety. We have successfully secured $11 million in funding from Khosla Ventures and Felicis, with the creator of MCP as a key stakeholder.

We are seeking passionate sales professionals to spearhead new business initiatives at Runlayer. Your objective is clear yet ambitious: to connect with the right individuals at the opportune moment. You will generate meetings, cultivate relationships, and finalize early deals that will influence how enterprises embrace AI.
