## About the role
**Software should be beautiful.**
Variant is code generation with creativity and taste. 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're well-capitalized and looking for a **founding engineer** to own the back end of Variant, where our agents operate.

* 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.
