We’re hiring for multiple roles across a range of levels, to join a small team that covers a lot of ground. We want people who take ownership, learn quickly and care whether their work makes a real difference.

About Runway

Funding built around how a business actually works.

Many of New Zealand’s small and medium businesses are growing and hiring, but struggle to get funding on fair terms. Runway is a non-bank lender set up to change that.

Traditional lenders find it hard to assess a business that doesn’t fit a standard mould. They treat anything complicated as risky, and price it for the worst case. We look at how a business actually works, and use technology to find a better offer: the right amount, on the right terms, at a rate that reflects the real risk.

This isn’t an experiment. We’ve already lent money to real New Zealand businesses, and every loan helps us make better decisions.

How we work

Rules that we will be living by.

  1. Broad on purpose

    We’re a small team, so everyone works across more than one area. Product, software, data, platform and reliability work all happen side by side.

  2. Build with agents, then validate, and cycle

    Agents do most of the building, but the result and outcomes are our accountability. We check what matters, and we’re honest about what good looks like.

  3. Learn by doing

    The tools change every few months, and so does the way we work. Much of what we’ll need next year, none of us knows yet. You start with what you’re good at, and we learn the rest by building it, together.

Open roles

Where we are hiring.

We’re hiring for multiple roles across a range of levels, all through one listing. There’s no set level to apply for. We welcome people early in their career, experienced builders, and engineering leads who still build with agents every day. Your scope and responsibilities will reflect what you can show us.
