About Rivio:

Rivio is building the world’s first AI procurement manager—an intelligent agent that joins procurement teams at top tech companies as a fully operational teammate. It handles everything from contract analysis and communication with suppliers. We’re tackling a $1.5T market by creating the procurement workforce of the future.

We’re looking for a driven software engineer with a deep curiosity for AI. The ideal candidate is obsessed with the field—eager to explore cutting-edge models, learn rapidly, and help shape the future of intelligent systems. Our three co-founders, Hala, Leo, and Alessio each bring 10+ years of experience from leading teams at Apple, Meta, and Silicon Valley startups.

What We Believe:

• Problem-Solving: autonomously solve complex technical challenges and proactively address issues, always seeking to challenge the conventional ways and innovate.

• Ownership: Take full ownership of projects and initiatives, especially those you’ve never worked on before. Embrace a growth mindset to continuously learn and adapt.

• Adaptability: Thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment typical of early-stage startups. Wear multiple hats and spearhead projects end-to-end.

• Mentorship & Collaboration: Inspire and guide team members. Influence peers and stakeholders through clear communication across various levels of the organization.

Job Requirements:

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in software development

• Proven experience building distributed systems and data pipelines

• Proven experience working with cloud services and infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)

• Comfortable with Python

• GenAI/LLM fundamentals and ML basics are a plus

• Regular use of a coding assistant (Cursor, Copilot, etc) is a plus

• Familiarity with the startup ecosystem and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and equity, based on experience[$140K - $180K + 0.5%-1.5% equity]

• Dynamic, fun, and collaborative work environment where you can be yourself.

• Major opportunities for professional growth.

• Significant impact on an early-stage startup.

• Comprehensive Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Plus other benefits:

  • Modern Office Spaces: Well-designed, comfortable, and collaborative workspaces. Pet-friendly Policy.

  • Meals and Snacks: On-site meals, snacks, and beverages. Almost Google Style :)

  • Team Building Activities: Regular social events, retreats, and outings.

  • Learning and Development: Budget for courses, certifications, and conferences.

If you're not convinced yet about joining our team, here are some of the founders' hobbies:

• Rebuilding classic cars 🏁

• Riding motorcycles (🏍️ or 🛵)

• Sailing (we will teach you how to be a sailor 🍻)

• Music festivals 🎉

• International and diverse team! We're proud of our multicultural environment with team members from Lebanon, Italy, France, China, Spain, and beyond 😄

Why you shouldn’t join

• You are not ready for the occasional 60-hour work week

• You are not comfortable working without clear structure

• You are not ready for a risky career opportunity. Even with our growth, we are still an early-stage startup. If you need something more predictable, this is not the right fit.
