01
Drive
The internal engine. It can't be installed.
Drive shows up as building things no one asked for, caring deeply about outcomes, and working hard when it matters. People with drive raise the bar around them.
Careers at Rivio
Build the future of autonomous procurement.
We're a team of engineers, designers, operators, and procurement experts reimagining how the world's largest companies source, negotiate, and manage spend.
Our Culture
We value precision, speed, and technical excellence. At Rivio, we prioritize deep work and clear communication to solve high-stakes problems.
Location
Headquartered in San Francisco. We operate on a hybrid model, balancing focused individual work with intense collaborative sprints.
How we hire
We hire for who you are, not just what you've built.
Most companies hire backwards - expertise first, everything else later. We don't. Skills can be learned. Drive can't.
02
Velocity
Ship at 70-80% confidence. Treat iteration as the default.
The best people here compress the loop from clarity to action to learning. They do not wait for perfect conditions - they force clarity and move.
03
Agency
Act without waiting for permission.
High-agency people identify the problem, form a hypothesis, and start. They use AI and every tool available to learn faster than the market.

Hear from the people building Rivio
"At Rivio, engineering culture is built around ownership. I'm trusted to take ambiguous product and customer needs, design the technical path, ship production systems, and validate them in the real environment. People here own their scope end to end and have the freedom to choose how to deliver the outcome."
MingyangFounding Engineer
"Since day 1 at Rivio, I was able to build the GTM as an entrepreneur inside a company of entrepreneurs. Every team member at Rivio has full ownership over their scope, and has total freedom on how to achieve the results."
JacopoGTM
"Working at Rivio reminds me why I fell in love with design in the first place. We get to build AI products from the ground up, where curiosity is valued, ideas are heard, and every person has the chance to make a real impact. I'm grateful to work with talented people who make the journey as meaningful as the products we're building."
TalaAI Design Engineer
"Working as an AI engineer at Rivio has been the most rewarding stretch of my career. I own my projects end to end, and I have a real say in shaping the team and culture we're building. The learning curve is steep in the best way. I'm constantly tackling problems no one has solved before, with no playbook to lean on. That freedom to explore uncharted territory is exactly what makes it exciting. And the offsites? Genuinely some of the most fun I've had. Rivio is a rare place to grow."

Values
Our values are operating habits.
They show up in how we make decisions, how quickly we learn, and how seriously we take the work our customers trust us to own.
Own the Outcome
You treat the company's success as your own, because it is. We don't manage by oversight; we trust people to make the right call and work on the highest impact priorities for our customers.
Build Without Borders
Good ideas come from anywhere, and anyone can build them. Title doesn't decide who gets to contribute; drive does. We don't wait for perfect or over-engineer - progress beats polish.
No Playbook, No Problem
Most of what we're building has never been built before, and there's no playbook because we're writing it. This requires extreme prioritization to cut through the noise.
High Bar, Good Vibes
We're curious, a little obsessed, and genuinely excited about what we're building. The intensity is real - and so is the enjoyment.
