About the role
Software should be beautiful.
Variant is a code generation tool designed for creativity. Instead of a confined conversation, you can generate endless designs from a single idea. Freely explore, discover directions you wouldn’t have thought of, and build better software as a result.
We call this generative creativity.
We're well-capitalized and looking for a founding engineer to own the back end of Variant.
The ideal candidate:
- At least one of:
- Has done impactful work at a company known for its sophisticated backend
- Majorly contributed to a notable open source project
- Has a seriously impressive portfolio
- Has experience building complex backends for chat applications with reliable streaming to clients
- Is a pro with Puppeteer and Chromium to run backend jobs with headless browsers
- Has built the backend for an app that manages complex project state
- Is obsessed with performance, reliability, and scalability
- Knows that building a startup is really hard work and is fully committed
- Doesn’t compromise between quality and shipping fast
- See what needs to be done and does it
- Under promises, over delivers
- Know when to be outspoken or disagree and commit
**We hold ourselves to these same principles.**
We've kept our team small by design. Your code will matter from day one, and its impact will compound over time. This will be the most meaningful work of your career.
We work from a beautiful space in San Francisco where we dream up the future and make it real together. We’re well-capitalized and backed by notable investors.
If you've built things you're proud of, we'd love to see them.
