Founding Infrastructure Engineer

Virio • San Francisco, CA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Virio is building the content engine for AI-native executives, and an engine is only as good as the foundation it runs on. Every insight, playbook, and asset we generate sits on top of infrastructure that has to stay fast and reliable as we grow, even as generation workloads get heavier and the user base expands. We're backed by operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google. We've added $1M ARR in 30 days. And the way we think about content generation, agentic systems, and human-in-the-loop workflows doesn't have an established playbook. We're looking for a Founding Infrastructure Engineer to build and scale that foundation: the systems, pipelines, and tooling that keep Virio fast and reliable as we grow to more users.

Requirements

• 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

Responsibilities

• Own Virio's core infrastructure end to end , from compute and orchestration to networking and deployment, and scale it as our user base grows
• Architect and operate our distributed systems for reliability, performance, and cost, designing for the next order of magnitude rather than today's load
• Build and tune the search, indexing, and caching layers that keep the product fast as data volume grows
• Own our data infrastructure : databases, data flows, and the systems that keep them performant under load
• Stand up the platform tooling, observability, and on-call practices that let a small team ship and operate with confidence
• Partner with product and engineering, including the harness and AI teams, to make sure our infrastructure scales with the demands of AI-driven workloads
• Make the architecture decisions that determine how we manage state, expose capability, and keep latency low across the platform

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