At Variance, we are using disruptive technologies to solve some of the digital age’s oldest and most complex problems with safe and effective AI. Our platform helps fraud, Trust & Safety, and Risk & Compliance teams reduce time spent on repetitive manual reviews and investigations, so they can focus on higher-value decisions. We are rapidly growing and already serve some of the largest and fastest-growing social media, online marketplace, and financial services platforms.

You will work closely with founders, sales, product, and design to shape how we launch products, tell customer stories, and establish Variance as the category leader in AI-powered risk mitigation.
This is an in-person position. Our office is located in San Francisco, CA.
