Director of Marketing
About Runloop
Runloop builds infrastructure for AI coding agents. We give AI agents lightning-fast, secure, and reproducible code sandboxes for agents. Our customers including model labs, AI-native startups, and enterprises all use us to take their agents from prototype to production. Our platform enables teams to experiment, iterate, and deploy their agents without the friction of environment setup and dependencies.
We’re a small team of former Stripe and Google engineers, backed by The General Partnership and Blank Ventures. AI agents are moving from demo to deployment, and we’re the infrastructure layer making that happen.
About the Role
We’re hiring our first marketing hire to own the marketing function end-to-end. This is a hands-on role where you’ll develop a strategy and bring it to life in execution.
The right person knows what good developer and enterprise marketing looks like. You’ve built marketing plans, are outcome-driven, run external partners to extend your output, and operate with real autonomy. You’re experienced enough to not need hand-holding, but not so senior that you’ve stopped doing the work yourself. You’re also a true collaborator. At this stage, marketing needs to work hand-in-hand with the founders, product, engineering, and sales, not operate in a silo.
What You’ll Do
Your core job is three things: positioning, content, and pipeline. Everything else supports those.
Own positioning and messaging. Define how Runloop shows up in the market: our story, our differentiation, how we talk about what we do to both developers and enterprise buyers.
Drive content. Create and commission content that resonates with AI engineers and engineering leaders: blog posts, case studies, sales materials. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you need to talk credibly about infrastructure and AI agents.
Build the engine. Stand up the marketing infrastructure from scratch: analytics, automation, CRM integration, and the martech stack that underpins campaigns, events, and pipeline tracking. You’ll establish the operational foundation that makes everything else scale.
Manage agencies and contractors. Know when to build vs. buy. Stand up and run external resources (design, content, video, paid) to scale without losing quality. You’ve done this before and have opinions on what works.
Own the website. Copy, structure, and top of funnel conversion across runloop.ai. The site should clearly communicate our value to both developers trying us out and enterprise teams evaluating us.
Build demand. Figure out where our audience pays attention and build a repeatable presence there. Measure what works and kill what doesn’t.
Show up in person. Represent Runloop at key developer conferences and AI events. Not a full field marketing program - just be present where it matters.
What We’re Looking For
7-10 years of experience in product marketing, integrated campaigns, developer marketing, growth marketing, or equivalent functions. Background in B2B developer tools, infrastructure, or cloud. You understand how technical buyers evaluate and adopt products.
Strong communication skills and content instincts. You can write well, edit sharply, and tell a compelling story about a technical product.
Proven experience managing complex and parallel projects with cross-functional teams and external agencies or contractors. Comfort with both strategy and execution. You can present the plan on Monday and ship the landing page on Wednesday.
Familiarity with the AI/ML ecosystem. Genuine interest in how AI agents are changing how software gets built.
Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you built things from scratch.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Competitive salary, meaningful equity, healthcare, and flexible time off.
Runloop is an equal opportunity employer.
