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. ## WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own the technical side of the sales cycle — discovery, demos, and POCs — and be the reason deals get to a technical win. - Partner with Account Executives to qualify opportunities and build credibility with both technical and business stakeholders. - Translate prospect requirements into compelling solution narratives that map Roadrunner's PQA capabilities to how their quoting and pricing actually works. - Feed structured field insights back to Product and Engineering: objections, integration gaps, competitive patterns. - Build reusable assets — demo environments, battlecards, POC templates — that make the whole GTM team sharper ## WHAT YOU’LL BRING - Experience in sales engineering or solutions consulting, with a track record of owning the technical motion on enterprise deals. - Sharp demo instincts: you can read a room, handle live objections, and keep an evaluation moving. - Familiarity with CRM and CPQ systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP CPQ, or similar) and a solid grasp of enterprise quoting, pricing, and approval workflows. - Comfortable with API-based integrations — can read documentation, troubleshoot data flows, and work hands-on with a customer's engineering team. - Strong communicator: equally effective translating technical architecture to a CFO and business requirements to an engineer. ## 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. ## EQUAL OPPORTUNITY We value our differences, and we encourage all to apply — especially those whose identities are traditionally underrepresented in tech organizations. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, political belief, or any other characteristic protected by law. Roadrunner is an equal opportunity employer. ## About Roadrunner ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Roadrunner is an AI-native revenue infrastructure company replacing legacy Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) systems with an agentic PQA (Prompt, Quote, Approve) platform built from the ground up. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Joubin Mirzadegan (CEO), Ajay Natarajan (CPO), Eugene Shao (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Revenue infrastructure / Sales technology (Quote-to-Cash, CPQ replacement) - **Target customers**: Enterprise B2B sales organizations (deal desk, finance, legal, sales operations) - **Mission**: Rebuild quote-to-cash from the ground up so that every rep can structure any deal instantly, as if they were the best rep in the company. ## Products & Services - **PQA Platform (Prompt, Quote, Approve)**: An agentic stack that uses natural language interfaces to generate quotes, enforce pricing policies, automate approval routing, and manage renewals, amendments, and product bundles. Includes a conversational AI agent that knows a company’s products, policies, and deal history. Features sub-second calculation, data-driven quote scoring against historical closed-won metrics, and an admin agent that drafts config changes and auto-generates UAT scenarios. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $27M (Seed led by Kleiner Perkins, Series A led by Founders Fund) as of May 2026 - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Kleiner Perkins (Mamoon Hamid), Founders Fund (Trae Stephens). Incubated at Kleiner Perkins (the firm’s first incubation since Glean). - **Growth Signals**: General availability launched May 2026; 22 employees as of May 31, 2026; actively hiring across engineering, solutions architecture, and sales roles; positioned as a category creator (PQA) in a large, legacy-dominated market. ## Competitive Advantages - **AI-native architecture**: Built from scratch with a modular data model designed for modern pricing motions (consumption, AI-based outcomes, bundles) – not a patch on legacy CPQ. - **Natural language interface**: Reps interact via a conversational agent rather than learning a complex UI; admins make changes by describing them in plain language. - **Forward-deployed migration**: Roadrunner’s engineers sit with customers to model catalogs, rebuild configuration rules, and cut over from existing CPQ – owning the outcome without requiring a system integrator. - **Speed**: Sub-second calculations even across complex pricing tiers, ramps, and approval thresholds. ## Strategic Focus - **Scale the team**: Use the $27M funding to grow headcount across engineering, solutions, and go-to-market. - **Deepen enterprise partnerships**: Work closely with early customers to refine the platform. - **Expand to full quote-to-cash**: Build toward a complete stack covering pricing, quoting, approvals, billing, and beyond. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Described as a “world-class team” by investors; co-founders have deep domain experience (Joubin built sales orgs at Kleiner Perkins, Ajay founded Athena which was acquired in 2025, Eugene built high-throughput systems at Meta, Citadel, and NASA). - **Work environment**: Likely office-first in San Francisco (headquarters); early-stage startup with high ownership and direct customer impact. - **Notable perks**: Opportunity to define a new category (PQA) and rebuild critical enterprise infrastructure; forward-deployed engineers get to work on-site with customers on high-stakes migrations; strong backing from top-tier VCs. ## Sources 1.
