Role

At Variance, we are teaching machines to make the hardest judgment calls at scale. We build AI agents for the high-stakes gray area of risk investigations, fraud, and identity reviews.

We work with Fortune 500 companies, global marketplaces, and regulated financial institutions operating in complex, high-consequence environments.

• Demonstrated ability to understand complex system architectures and translate technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with a track record of managing sophisticated customer-facing technical issues through resolution

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document investigations, summarize technical issues, and produce high-quality customer-facing materials

• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with a high degree of ownership and cross-functional collaboration

• Strong alignment with Variance’s mission to build systems that protect people from fraud, scams, and abuse

Strongly preferred

• Experience working with AI/ML products, workflow platforms, or decisioning systems
