Jobs at Runway

We believe that AI systems applied to audiovisual content will forever change art and creativity.

Since 2018, Runway has been at the forefront of AI media ensuring that the future of content creation is accessible, controllable and empowering for everyone.

We bring research into production within weeks instead of years, and we embed research into our engineering and product teams, instead of having each team work in silos. We are laser-focused on applying research to product development and therefore broadening access to AI-backed experiences for our users.

Runway is at the forefront of generative media, pioneering AI models and tools that put professional-grade video and creative production within reach of anyone. Its foundation models, including the recently released Gen-4, enable consistent characters, locations, and objects across scenes, forming the basis of world simulators that can power an entirely new media ecosystem. Runway has already shipped more than 30 AI-powered “Magic Tools” such as Green Screen, Inpainting, and frame interpolation that allow creatives to edit videos more than 10x faster than traditional workflows. This combination of research breakthroughs and productization has made Runway one of the most respected brands in AI creativity tools, trusted by professional teams at CBS, New Balance, and Publicis, as well as Hollywood editors like those behind Everything Everywhere All at Once. With Runway Studios, the company is also expanding into producing original content, positioning itself as both platform and producer in the next era of AI-native media.

The company’s execution and funding trajectory underscore its leadership. Runway has raised over $300 million in Series D funding led by General Atlantic, Fidelity, Baillie Gifford, NVIDIA, and SoftBank, cementing its position as one of the best-capitalized players in AI media. Earlier backers include Felicis, Coatue, Amplify, Lux, and Madrona, who recognized early on the team’s vision to revolutionize creativity with applied AI research. CEO Cris Valenzuela and the founding team anticipated the generative wave years ahead of the curve, co-developing Stable Diffusion and embedding research excellence at the core of the company. Runway is now scaling globally with a strong brand, fast-growing adoption, and deep integrations across professional workflows. As media consumption continues to shift toward video and immersive experiences, Runway is positioned to become the defining company at the intersection of AI and creativity, capturing both the infrastructure layer and content layer of the new media stack.
