Team

Built by developers,
for developers.

Meet the people redefining the future
of cloud computing.

Some of the most important companies of this decade will be built on RunPod.

We aim to be the developer's launchpad for full-stack AI apps—the compute backbone that enables successful companies to run AI/ML workloads simply, globally, and at scale.

Give a sh*t

We work with people who care—about our customers and each other.

Look in the mirror

We deeply reflect on our own actions and seek to better ourselves.

Courage over comfort

We tackle hard truths and tough situations directly—even when it makes us uncomfortable.

Our guiding virtues.

These values don't just define us; they are us. As we evolve, our brand will continue to project this true identity of our team, becoming richer and gaining equity.

Unlike our products, which will adapt and change, our brand's core identity will remain consistent, changing only with deliberate effort and broad consensus.

We wear multiple hats.

Our sales team has a strong technical background. Our eng team has an exceptional eye for product. Our datacenter operations team has a strong sales background. Whether you're doing engineering, sales, operations, design, or product, you should be comfortable wearing more than one hat at a time.

We are customer-obsessed.

We have over 100,000 developers that rely on us to run their workloads. Many of them use RunPod for their production environments. That's a huge responsibility that we don't take lightly. We are constantly talking to our customers to understand what we can do to level up our platform.

We contribute cross-functionally.

If you think there's a better way of doing X, even if it doesn't directly fall under your function, you should voice that to the team. The most important products we've built have stemmed from conversations between non-overlapping teams, like ML + Sales, Customer Support + Product, and Datacenter Operations + Accounting.

We are agile.

At this stage, we need to move quickly. The faster we can ship products that delight our customers, the more successful they will be with our platform. The AI industry is constantly evolving, and we must be able to evolve just as quickly. There are some things we believe won't change. Developers will always want faster, more accessible and cost-effective compute. Although our products may change, our mission will stay the same.

We’re looking for people who
want to grow with RunPod.

We currently have 75+ full-time people on the team, and we anticipate scaling to several hundred over the coming years. We are looking for people with a bias towards leadership, who can hire and manage talented folks as their function within RunPod scales.
