ABOUT US
At Roadrunner, we’re replacing the broken CPQ software that Sales teams have complained about, worked around, and given up on for years. Not improving it - replacing it. We’re building a new agentic stack called PQA - Prompt, Quote, Approve, designed for the enterprise, on a data model built for how pricing actually works today.
We’re Kleiner Perkins’ first incubation since Glean, led by second-time founders with successful exits, and a team of engineers from Snowflake, Databricks, Citadel, Meta, Robinhood, Brex, and so on. We’re in-person in San Francisco, and we’re just getting started.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a member of our Founding Technical Recruiting team, you’ll play a defining role in shaping the DNA of the company.
This is not “join and maintain a process.” This is “build the recruiting engine from scratch alongside a CEO and founding team who care deeply about talent, culture, and velocity”. You’ll work directly with our founders (Joubin, Ajay, and Eugene) to help us find our next founding engineers and product builders - the people who will determine whether Roadrunner becomes a $100M, $1B, or $10B company.
If you get energy from chasing exceptional talent, architecting scalable recruiting systems, and being in the room where the earliest hiring decisions get made, this role is for you.
- Own technical recruiting end-to-end across engineering.
- Build and run Roadrunner’s talent engine for hiring top engineering talent: sourcing strategy, outreach playbooks, interviewing loops, candidate experience, closing tactics, and everything in between.
- Partner directly with our CEO, CTO, and CPO to deeply understand the technical challenges we’re solving and translate them into compelling pitches and job descriptions.
- Source top engineers through creative channels: community, networks, events, referrals, and targeted outreach to people who want to build something meaningful.
- Shape our culture hiring by identifying candidates with the grit, optimism, low-ego energy, and builder mentality that Roadrunner is known for.
- Be the steward of the candidate experience, ensuring every person who interacts with us walks away excited, whether or not we hire them.
- Track and communicate recruiting metrics that help us learn, improve, and scale.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- 3+ years of technical recruiting experience, ideally at a startup or high-growth environment where velocity and quality both mattered.
- Proven success hiring engineering roles in a high growth environment.
- Ability to understand complex technical problems and communicate them clearly to candidates.
- Strong sourcing muscles - creative, persistent, and energized by finding needles in haystacks manually and with AI for leverage.
- Highly organized, excellent communicator, and comfortable managing multiple searches in parallel.
- Deep commitment to an outstanding candidate experience - you treat recruiting as relationship-building, not transactional hiring.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family
- Lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and coffee to keep you energized
- Take what you need vacation policy
