Founding Design Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA Toronto, Ontario

Instructions: Email your resume, your portfolio/personal website, and a description of the most interesting thing you’ve ever built (add a link if possible).

Note: this is NOT a role for mechanical design engineering

Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack. If you’re not sure what that means, that’s ok. All you need to know is that we went from 0 to $500k ARR in 90 days while in stealth and are assembling a team of all-stars. We are now gearing up to break records and go from $1M - $100M in less than a year.

As a Design Engineer, you’ll be working directly with the CTO to imagine and implement novel AI-native interfaces for content creation, context management, and human productivity.

Qualities we’re looking for:

Excellence. You have been best-in-class at something.

Ambition. Your goal is to be the best in the world at what you do, and you won’t settle for anything less.

Unorthodox. You see things that other people don’t and use those insights to do things better, faster, smarter.

Dedication. You get excited by the idea of working 6-7 days a week alongside teammates who feel the same way.

EQ. You can “read the room” and are adept at interpersonal communication.

Agency. You believe you are capable of learning and doing almost anything.

In-person. This team will be working in-person in the US and Canada.

We are particularly excited by people who:

Live at the boundary of Figma and code. You’re equally obsessed with imagining interactions as you are with implementing + putting them in the hands of users.

Experiment with AI productivity. You’re an expert at “vibe coding” and enjoy trying out the latest IDE to augment your productivity.

Are obsessed with HCI history. You recount the tale of Steve Jobs stealing the mouse and GUI from Xerox PARC as a fun dinner party story.

Have side projects or independent experiments using AI that you’re extremely proud of.

One of the great operators of our time once said, “Give them to me young, hungry, and stupid—and in no time I will make them rich.”

This is your big break. We’re waiting for you.
