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 Growth Engineer to build internal tools and workflows to augment our team.

What You’ll Do

• Design and ship user interfaces that delight—clean, intentional, and thoughtfully detailed

• Own features end-to-end: from design concept through implementation to launch

• Work with product and customers to understand what matters most and iterate based on feedback

• Build frontend components and systems that scale—write clean, maintainable code

• Collaborate with engineers to make design and implementation work together seamlessly

• Push back on bad ideas and propose better solutions—your taste and judgment matter

• Own part of the core product roadmap and help define what gets built next

What Success Looks Like

• You ship interfaces that users actually love and choose to use

• You identify friction in the product experience and solve it with better design and implementation

• You balance speed with quality—you ship fast but you don't compromise on details

• Your code is clean and maintainable; your design is intentional and serves the user

• 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.
