ABOUT VIRIO

Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack.

Backed by investors and operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google, we help the fastest-growing B2B companies go to market through executive-led content that drives revenue.

We’re growing extremely quickly, added $1M ARR in 30 days, and are onboarding customers faster than we can manage—so we’re looking for a Design Engineer to build internal tools and workflows to augment our team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design generative interfaces that rethink what's possible—not incremental tweaks, but genuinely imaginative approaches to how people interact with AI-driven products
• Lead with product intuition: understand what users need before they ask, and imagine interfaces that make complex interactions feel natural and delightful
• Own features end-to-end: from design concept through implementation to launch—you're the keeper of the vision through every stage
• Build frontend components and systems that scale—write clean, maintainable code that doesn't constrain future ambition
• Collaborate seamlessly with engineers and product—make design and implementation work together, not against each other
• Push back on mediocre ideas and propose better solutions—your taste and judgment are core to what we ship
• Contribute to the core product roadmap and help define what gets built next

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• You ship interfaces that users don't just use—they choose to use, and they're surprised by how natural they feel
• You identify friction in the product experience and solve it with imaginative design and thoughtful implementation
• You balance speed with quality—you ship fast without compromising on the details that matter
• Your code is clean and intentional; your design pushes thinking forward while remaining accessible
• You take full ownership—you don't wait for someone else to solve problems you see

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
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• All working meals covered
• Relocation support for San Francisco
• Company-wide annual off-site
• Direct access to founders and leadership
• High ownership, high trust, and fast career progression alongside world-class client partners
• In-person culture with deep commitment to excellence

This is a full-time, on-site role based in San Francisco. We do not offer hybrid or remote positions.
