About the role
Forward Deployed EngineerRunable · Full-time · In person, Bangalore
What we're building
Runable helps people build, grow, and run their businesses with AI agents. The work spans products customers use, agents that act across tools, our own GPU inference, and payment integrations with financial partners around the world.
We use our own product to build and test interactive artifacts and designs. Our agents monitor security around the clock, investigate and fix production issues, and detect abuse and enforce bans. We experiment with models and how they behave. This is already part of how we work.
We question the starting assumptions. When the existing approach to remote desktops was not good enough, we built Tilt in Rust to rethink the noVNC stack and protocol. We want people who ask what could work better, then build it and prove it.
The role
Work where the customer problem meets the product. You will spend time with customers, understand how their business operates, and build the workflows, integrations, and product changes that get them to a useful result. You own the code, the deployment, adoption, and the commercial outcome.
What you'll own
- Discover the actual workflow with the customer and choose a specific outcome worth solving, with a clear way to measure it.
- Build and ship full-stack features, agent workflows, integrations, and interactive artifacts using Runable and our engineering stack.
- Connect the customer's tools and data with the right access boundaries. Handle the failures and operational details a demonstration can hide.
- Carry the work through rollout, onboarding, production debugging, and repeat use. Stay with the problem until the customer gets the result.
- Own time to first value, successful task completion, adoption, retention, and revenue or expansion impact for the work you deliver.
- Bring repeated needs back into the core product so the next customer gets a better default. Help the team decide when to generalize and when a focused implementation is enough.
What you'll bring
- Software you have shipped for real people, with evidence of the problem you solved and the result it produced.
- The ability to move across frontend, backend, APIs, data, and deployment, and learn an unfamiliar system quickly.
- Comfort speaking with customers, asking hard questions, explaining tradeoffs, and taking responsibility when something breaks.
- Strong judgment about scope, reliability, security, and what is actually worth building.
- Ambition to own a business outcome as an engineer. You can use agents effectively while remaining accountable for the code and the customer experience.
How we work
- Everyone at Runable writes code and ships, including design and GTM. Use agents to extend what you can build, and verify the work yourself.
- Own the outcome, from understanding the customer to shipping, operating, and measuring the result. Your job extends beyond the ticket or your title.
- Everyone can talk to customers. Go directly to the people using what you build, help them, and bring what you learn back into the product.
- AI agents are part of the team. Use them to research, build, review, test, and operate; your judgment owns the result. Build the automation that makes the next piece of work easier.
- Trust compounds. We trust people shipping code to merge to main when checks and evidence support it, and to ask for review when judgment or risk calls for another pair of eyes. Automated checks and approvals help us move; they do not transfer responsibility.
- Own the metrics and revenue impact of your work. Define the customer and business result, measure what changed after shipping, and keep improving it. Useful outcomes, sustainable revenue, and systems we can afford to run belong together.
- We work six days a week, in person in Bangalore. You have autonomy over how you organize and do the work. We care about outcomes and dependable collaboration, without managing every small decision.
What matters to us
Show us what you have built, how you think, and how ambitious you are. Degrees, employer names, and years of experience can be signals; none is a substitute for the work. We value curiosity, clear communication, good judgment, and the drive to take an unfamiliar problem all the way to a useful result.
Hiring process
- A 15-minute introduction with Saksham, co-founder.
- A work-day trial in our Bangalore office on a real problem with the team, so both sides can see what working together is like.
