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 can't do it safely. We're 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. The co-creator of MCP is on our cap table. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually use it.
Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents. Purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can push AI forward across the entire company without the risk. We raised $11M from Khosla Ventures and Felicis, and customers include Gusto, Instacart, and Opendoor.
We're a team of 25, mostly engineers, shipping fast. If you want to work at the center of how AI gets things done, this is the moment.
As our Executive Assistant, you'll support two co-founders (Andy in NYC, Tal in LA) who move fast and expect you to keep up. You'll own calendar, email, travel, operations, and light office management for a team that runs on AI.
Why You'll Thrive Here
Impact: Be the operational backbone for two founders building the enterprise AI platform used by Instacart, Gusto, Opendoor.
Excellence: Work alongside a tight knit, senior team of technical experts & GTM leaders.
Ownership: Start as EA, potentially grow into running a function. You have the forethought to act before being told. We promote from within.
What You'll Do
Own calendar management for two co-founders who double-book themselves constantly
Manage email triage and follow-ups with full inbox access
Coordinate travel (we use Navan) and light personal scheduling (calendars, coverage)
Execute on high-urgency operations including sensitive legal and financial tasks
Handle light office management for our SoHo office
Use Claude, MCPs, and AI tools daily for everything, including scheduling, research, and document work
What We're Looking For
AI fluency is non-negotiable. You must use Claude (not just ChatGPT), understand MCPs, and be comfortable with Claude Code and Cowork. There's a take-home exam.
Strong backbone. You have to push back on us, be aggressive, and not defer. If you're going to be polite and wait for direction, this won't work.
High EQ and social ability. Read the room, prioritize, sift through information.
"Missile" mentality. We set you on a target, you accomplish it. Make your own momentum.
Strong communication skills. Polite but direct. Entertaining.
Attention to what matters. You don't need to care about every admin detail, but you can't drop balls.
Not a fit if
You ask for clarification on everything
You're not AI-native
You want to be told what to do
You can't handle direct, fast-paced feedback
