About the role

Variance is building a trustworthy internet

The internet, mediated by opaque algorithms, is fragile and manipulatable. Variance is using AI to help rebuild an internet that’s safe enough to be free again. We apply AI agents to billions of events a day to reduce risk to millions of users from spam, scams, and abuse. We are hiring a full-stack engineer to help advance our mission of trust and scale our product.

We’re Y-Combinator backed and have grown revenue 15x over the past year. Our customers span Fortune 500 companies and top-tier unicorns.

You’re a fit if you’re:

  • Serious about craftsmanship and opinionated about your work
  • Fluent with our tech stack: React, NextJS, Typescript, and MySQL, with state management in Redux
  • Eager to dive deep into vector databases, LLMs, and the opportunity for building world-class features and user experiences
  • Comfortable owning and shipping product features end-to-end to completion

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in data visualization, or observability-oriented products
  • Very familiar with Next.JS, Typescript, React and Redux

What you’ll do

  • Ship end-to-end features with timelines measured in hours
  • Scale our product to new industries, across pilots, demos, and use-cases
  • Help build the fundamentals of our product to scale to billions of users

Our culture

We believe in a culture of ownership, urgency, and relentless execution. We are fully in-person in San Francisco.

What we offer

  • Health care: we offer platinum-level medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited PTO, sick leave, and parental leave
  • Up to $100 in reimbursement for personal health & wellness expenses each month
  • 401(k) plan

About Variance

At Intrinsic, we are using disruptive technologies to solve some of the oldest and most complex problems of our digital age in anti-abuse, fraud prevention, and brand safety. Online abuse is an elaborate video game of cat-and-mouse. We move fast, and so do our adversaries.
