About Runway

Runway is building foundational Real-World Intelligence that can understand, simulate and act in the world. We offer products and services built on-top of this intelligence to empower individuals and organizations to do more in the world. Backed by SoftBank VF, Madrona and Amplify.

About the role

This is a role for people who want to own a problem, not an account. You'll sit with the biggest studios, brands, and Fortune 100 companies in the world, figure out what's actually standing between them and production, and build whatever removes it.

More about this role

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.

Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.

World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.

Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
