You’ve built software—maybe not “properly,” but you’ve shipped tools that people use. Now you’ll combine that product instinct with rapid experimentation to solve real business problems. If you’ve run a business or owned a P&L, even better.
What You’ll Do
- Run 40-60 experiments per year using AI tools (LLMs, agents, automation)
- Spend ~50% of your time sitting with end users, watching workflows
- Build Gravel Road prototypes in 3-5 days
- Decide ruthlessly: kill most ideas by day 5, double down on winners
- Bridge business priorities, user needs, and AI capabilities
Required Background
- Shipped software that others use (scripts, apps, automations, internal tools)
- Comfortable with APIs, data wrangling, prompt engineering, and basic UX
- Built scrappy tools that stuck: Excel macros turned team standards, Zapier workflows, internal dashboards, Airtable systems
- Bonus: Owned a P&L, ran a business unit, or managed operations for 3+ years
Training: Everyone here works fluently in QuadCode and Codec CLI. If you’re not already excellent with CLI tooling but bring deep technical judgment and the rest of this profile, we’ll invest in that ramp.
Compensation
$80K-$150K depending on seniority and experience, plus equity.
You’ll join with autonomy to find the right problems and ship scrappy solutions.
Who You’ll Work With
- Report to: Runpoint partners
- Partner with: Runpoint partners and our clients’ operating teams
