Runta cuts what agents waste, bounds what they can reach, and records everything they did. Backed by a16z.
About the role
Our runtime team builds the execution engine. You build the cloud platform it runs on: the production infrastructure that serves paying customers. You are the person accountable for it working, scaling, and not bankrupting us.
What they're looking for
- You’ve designed and operated production AWS infrastructure you were accountable for, not just worked within someone else’s
- Deep Terraform (or equivalent IaC) experience: complex modules built for other engineers to consume, state management at scale, infra CI/CD
- Multi-cloud or cross-cloud experience: provider-spanning abstractions, workload migrations, or internal platforms built on IaC
- Experience running serverless or container platforms at scale (Lambda, Fargate, ECS, EKS)
- A cost-optimization track record you can talk through in specifics: RI strategy, Spot fleet design, rightsizing with real numbers
- Solid distributed systems fundamentals: consistency models, replication, consensus
More about this role
Runta builds runtime infrastructure for long-running AI agents: efficient execution, enforceable access controls, and complete execution records.
We’re a small, well-funded team based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Singapore. High talent density. High ownership.
Runta builds runtime infrastructure that lets AI agents execute reliably over long time horizons: run agents efficiently, govern what they can reach, and record what they did. Workloads that run for hours or days break the assumptions web infrastructure is built on. An agent can fan out fifty sub-tasks in a second and then go idle for ten minutes, must survive instance recycling mid-run, and needs to snapshot, resume, and branch its execution state the way developers branch code. We’re building the substrate that makes this possible.
We’re a small, well-funded team, moving fast.

Runta does three things: run, govern, record. This role makes run economical at scale, gives record a storage layer...
