Role
At Variance, we are teaching machines to make the hardest judgement calls at scale. That means building AI agents for the high-stakes gray-area of risk investigations, fraud, and identity reviews.
We’re a small, talent-dense team in San Francisco, with former founders and talent from top AI labs. Our customers include several Fortune 500s, global marketplaces, and regulated financial institutions. If you thrive on extreme ownership, moving fast, and working directly with founders, you’ll feel at home here.
This is an in-person position. Our office is located in San Francisco, CA.

What we offer
Variance (formerly Intrinsic) builds AI investigative agents for risk and compliance. The platform automates end-to-end workflows for fraud reviews, AML, KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, and content moderation — collecting evidence from transaction data, company registries, PDF filings, sanctions lists, adverse media, and open web sources, then returning fully auditable decisions in minutes. Founded by former Apple Fraud Engineering (FEAR) team members, Variance serves financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies, helping Trust & Safety and compliance teams scale investigations with agentic AI behind a single API.
