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.\nWe're looking for a 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.\nWhat You’ll Do\nAs our Infrastructure Engineer, you'll own the systems everything else runs on: the distributed services, data stores, search and caching layers, and platform tooling that let us scale without breaking. You'll keep the product fast and reliable as load grows, and architect the foundation the rest of engineering builds on.\nOwn Virio's core infrastructure end to end, from compute and orchestration to networking and deployment, and scale it as our user base grows\n\nArchitect and operate our distributed systems for reliability, performance, and cost, designing for the next order of magnitude rather than today's load\n\nBuild and tune the search, indexing, and caching layers that keep the product fast as data volume grows\n\nOwn our data infrastructure: databases, data flows, and the systems that keep them performant under load\n\nStand up the platform tooling, observability, and on-call practices that let a small team ship and operate with confidence\n\nPartner with product and engineering, including the harness and AI teams, to make sure our infrastructure scales with the demands of AI-driven workloads\n\nMake the architecture decisions that determine how we manage state, expose capability, and keep latency low across the platform\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nThe systems you own stay fast and reliable as we scale; the infrastructure just works, and the rest of the team rarely has to think about it\n\nYou see scaling and reliability problems before they reach users, and you solve them at the root instead of patching symptoms\n\nYou balance speed with rigor; you ship infrastructure changes fast without putting reliability at risk\n\nYour systems are clean and well-architected; they hold up as load grows by orders of magnitude without forcing a rewrite\n\nYou take full ownership of the systems everything runs on; you don't wait for permission to fix what you see breaking\n\nTraits That Thrive at Virio\nHigh agency & self-direction - Acts without waiting for requirements or detailed instructions\n\nSmall-team intensity comfort - Comfortable working intensely and closely with a small, high-output team\n\nUnorthodox problem solving - Sees non-obvious paths forward and challenges conventional approaches\n\nQuality-driven execution - Detail-oriented with high standards for correctness and quality\n\nLow ego & accountability - Takes full ownership and accountability for outcomes\n\nBenefits\nWork directly with the founders\n\nCompetitive total compensation aligned to impact and ownership\n\nMeaningful equity upside as part of the founding team\n\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance\n\n401(k) plan\n\nAll working meals covered\n\nRelocation support for San Francisco\n\nCompany-wide annual off-site\n\nHigh ownership, high trust, and fast career progression alongside world-class client partners\n\nIn-person culture with deep commitment to excellence\n\nThis is a full-time, on-site role based in San Francisco with the team coming in 6 days/week. We do not offer hybrid or remote positions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3891,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Social Media Marketing","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T08:56:37Z"}],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.397,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":54,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/virio-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/virio-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T10:17:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1351,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3649,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
