Founding Product Manager, Control Plane

AI is transforming how every company operates but most enterprises are stuck. They want to move fast with AI Agents tools and workflows but they cant do it safely. Were fixing that.

Our team built AI Actions for OpenAI shipped Zapier Agents to millions of users and launched the first remote MCP server with Anthropic. We helped establish the protocol and now were building the platform enterprises need to actually put AI to work.

Runlayer is one platform for MCPs Skills and Agents: purpose-built security fine-grained governance and complete observability so organizations can go all-in on AI across the entire company without the risk. We just raised a $30M Series A led by Felicis with participation from Khosla Ventures bringing our total raised to $42M. Already trusted by Gusto Instacart Opendoor dbt Labs and Decagon.

As the Founding PM for the Control Plane youll own one governance plane for the full agent lifecycle: every MCP skill plugin and agent governed and observable across every surface an agent can touch. Today agents sprawl across every platform with little oversight; youll build the one layer that sits between their agentic harnesses and the hundreds of SaaS apps their agents reach.
