## Summary

A ~11-year-old software outsourcing/engineering company founded and owned by [[sebastian]]. Provides the enterprise/services vantage point in the [[2026-07-14-sebastian-eugene-interview|Sebastian interview]].

## Current Understanding

Virtido works with large, often regulated enterprise clients — the setting for Sebastian's claims about compliance-locked environments and the company-managed-harness market ([[enterprise-ai-reality]]). Team sizes cited: 10–15 engineers on big teams, collapsing toward 2–3 with AI.

Its **HR/recruiting team is the audience for Eugene's webinar**: [[nina]] (recruiter) and [[yulia]] (recruiting lead, affiliation tentative) supplied the concrete pain points — job descriptions, interview write-ups, candidate sourcing — that collapse into "a candidate knowledge base plus search over it." Tooling in use: LinkedIn Recruiter, Manatal (ATS), paid ChatGPT (some team members).

The audience is not only HR: [[larysa]] (technical BA/PM, affiliation tentative) is the third interviewee in the same scoping series, and she extends the tooling picture to **ClickUp** (Jira analog), **Figma**, **Teams** and **Slack** — with the last three blocked by paid-seat or API limits ([[integration-dead-ends]]). Her account also shows the seat-provisioning question is live: Anthropic supports Slack first-class, but she isn't given a seat.

## Contradictions / Uncertainty

- Client names are largely illustrative (e.g. Roche cited as an industry reference point, not necessarily a Virtido client).
- [[larysa]]'s employer is never stated; membership is inferred from the shared interview series. Status: tentative.

## Next Questions

- Is Virtido itself building/selling a company-managed harness product, or just identifying the market?
