## Job description

## Who we are

Alpharun is an applied AI company helping enterprises in mortgage, insurance, and healthcare drive revenue. Our platform turns the behaviors of top sellers into AI Playbooks, coaches every rep against those standards, and deploys autonomous, long-horizon revenue agents that drive sales.

We’ve grown 10x in the past 6 months, and we’re hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to meet customer demand.

## The role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll build long-horizon AI revenue agents that autonomously drive revenue for our customers’ businesses. You’ll scope the workflow with executive leadership, connect Alpharun to their systems, and ship the product improvements that make each deployment possible.

This is a high-autonomy role for a customer-minded engineer who wants to own outcomes. You’ll work directly with customers to understand how their revenue is won and lost, then build agents that measurably move it.

## What you’ll do

- Build and launch voice agents and goal-oriented revenue agents in Alpharun that qualify leads, book appointments, collect documents, follow up, and move customers to the next stage of their journey.
- Integrate with customer systems, including CRMs, loan origination and policy systems, dialers and contact-center platforms, and internal APIs, so agents can read customer state and take action.
- Ship directly to the core product. When a deployment needs a capability we don’t have yet, you’ll build it so every customer benefits.
- Work hands-on with customer ops leaders, sales managers, and IT/security teams to scope use cases, map workflows, define success criteria, and run pilots.
- Bring what you learn in the field back into our roadmap and deployment playbook.

## Why you should join

- Team: We’re a tight-knit, ambitious team working together in our San Francisco office five days a week. Our founders, Paul and Henry Dornier, are twins and second-time founders who previously sold their first company to Front, where they helped the company grow from $10M to $100M in revenue.
- Rapid growth: Revenue has grown over 10x in the past 6 months, and customers are asking for more agents than we can deploy.
- Hard, real problems: You’ll work at the intersection of LLMs, real-time voice, and revenue-critical enterprise workflows. Every agent you ship has a measurable dollar outcome attached.
- Ownership: As one of our first Forward Deployed Engineers, you’ll define how Alpharun deploys agents and have meaningful influence over the product, our customers, and the company we build.

This role is intense but immensely rewarding. It’s ideal for someone with exceptional ambition, a bias toward action, and a desire to build an enduring enterprise company.

We’ll be most excited if you have

- 2+ years of experience building and shipping production software, ideally backend or full-stack, at a fast-moving company.
- Experience integrating with third-party APIs and enterprise systems, including REST, webhooks, auth, and messy real-world data.
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs: prompting, tool use, and evaluating output quality. Voice or telephony experience is a plus.
- Comfort in front of customers. You can run a technical working session, turn a business problem into a technical plan, and explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong product judgment about when to build a one-off and when to generalize into the platform.
- A track record of succeeding in environments with significant ambiguity, autonomy, and accountability.
- Extreme ambition and high expectations of yourself and the people around you.

If you don’t meet every qualification but resonate deeply with our mission and approach to building, we strongly encourage you to apply. We value aptitude, ambition, and learning velocity above all.

## About alpharun.com

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Alpharun provides AI-powered sales coaching and voice agents for insurance, financial services, and healthcare, helping turn every rep into the best rep.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage startup, funding details not publicly disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: Not publicly available (likely 2020‑2022 based on earliest social post in search results from 2024)
- **Founders**: Paul Dornier (Co-Founder) and Henry Dornier (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI Sales Coaching & Voice Agents (Software Development)
- **Target customers**: B2B enterprises in regulated industries — insurance, financial services, and healthcare
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Turn every rep into your best rep.” (as stated on website and LinkedIn)

## Products & Services
- **[Alpharun Platform]**: AI-powered sales coaching that automatically analyzes customer calls, identifies best-rep behaviors, and teaches them to the whole team. Includes monitoring, signals, automations, and playbooks.
- **[Alpharun Voice Agents]**: AI voice agents for customer interactions in regulated sectors (insurance, financial services, healthcare).
- **[Alpharun Automations]**: Lets users describe anything to monitor across calls; Alpharun notifies and takes action.
- **[Alpharun Deep Research]**: Ask a question and get a verified answer based on all past customer conversations, eliminating days of manual review.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total employees: 7 (monthly growth +14.3%); monthly website visits: ~57,788 (yearly traffic growth +295.8%)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Won Twilio’s 2024 AI Startup Searchlight Awards; no lead investors publicly named
- **Growth Signals**: Recent launches of Automations and Autonomous Sales Coaching (2025‑2026); high traffic growth (+295.8% YoY); expanding workforce (+14.3% monthly); hiring for multiple roles (Mid-Market AE, Enterprise AE, Applied AI Engineer, etc.)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical focus on regulated industries** (insurance, financial services, healthcare) — a deep moat in compliance-heavy markets
- **AI‑first architecture** with native voice agents, automations, and deep research — differentiated from legacy sales coaching tools
- **Extremely small, tight‑knit team** enabling outsized ownership and direct collaboration with founders

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling AI automations and voice agents to automate repetitive coaching tasks
- Expanding enterprise customer base in insurance, financial services, and healthcare
- Building out go‑to‑market functions (Strategy & Operations, Growth, Enterprise Sales)
- Deepening product integration with customer call data to provide real‑time actionable insights

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: High autonomy, rapid skill growth, and “founding”‑level ownership for early employees. Described as demanding but rewarding with an “extremely high talent bar” and “exceptional commitment.”
- **Work policy**: Five days per week in‑office at San Francisco HQ (2261 Market St, Suite 10079). Remote flexibility is not available.
- **Perks**: Competitive compensation and meaningful equity for early team members. Hands‑on exposure to applied AI, voice agents, and real customer environments in regulated industries.
- **Team size**: 7 employees — very early‑stage, so risk of change fatigue and pivot fatigue (company pivoted from recruiting platform to sales coaching). Candidates should verify funding and workload stability during interviews.
