About Virio

Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack - an AI-powered content engine that turns executive thought leadership into a pipeline at scale. 

We help the fastest-growing B2B companies go to market through executive-led content that drives revenue, not vanity metrics. Virio is not a content agency. We're backed by investors and operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google. We’ve built a repeatable system for turning founder-led content into meetings, pipeline, and brand power.

We are building GTM infrastructure that behaves like a high-output operator, combining strategy, execution, and systems thinking. Having added $1M in ARR within the last 30 days, our recruiting team is moving quickly to hire the talent we need to continue our momentum.

We are now looking for a Founding Engineer to help design, build, and scale Virio’s core AI platform alongside the CTO.

What You’ll Do

• Own and build mission-critical parts of the platform end to end

• Design and implement AI-native product experiences across text, video, and voice

• Build new features and ensure reliability under real-world user behavior

• Work closely with the CTO to make architectural and technical decisions

• Design and implement solutions independently, from idea through production

• Choose how close you want to be to users and incorporate feedback into product decisions

• Continuously improve system performance, scalability, and quality

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Systems engineering depth – Strong systems thinker with deep backend engineering experience

• Scalable service architecture – Comfortable designing and owning scalable, performant services

• Technical curiosity & learning velocity – High curiosity with the ability to quickly learn new technical domains

• Zero-to-one system building – Experience building tools or systems that did not previously exist

• Large-surface technical ownership – Comfortable owning broad technical areas without heavy process or oversight

• Collaborative judgment & communication – Strong communication skills and sound judgment in collaborative environments

Traits That Thrive at Virio

• High agency & self-direction – Acts without waiting for requirements or detailed instructions

• Small-team intensity comfort – Comfortable working intensely and closely with a small, high-output team

• Unorthodox problem solving – Sees non-obvious paths forward and challenges conventional approaches

• Quality-driven execution – Detail-oriented with high standards for correctness and quality

• Low ego & accountability – Takes full ownership and accountability for outcomes

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation aligned to impact and ownership

• Meaningful equity upside as part of the founding team, core to the operating philosophy for Virio

• 100 percent paid medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) plan

• Monthly wellness and meals stipend ($1k)

• Relocation support for San Francisco

• Company-wide annual off-sites

• Direct access to founders and leadership

• High ownership, high trust, and fast career progression alongside world-class client partners

• In-person culture with deep collaboration and shared standards

This is a full-time, on-site role based in San Francisco. We do not offer hybrid or remote positions. With best-in-class compensation, Virio operates on a 996–7 cadence and expects high ownership and high output across the team.
