Engineering Lead (Visa Sponsored)

Description

THE ROLE

We are looking for engineering leaders to help us ship amazing products and develop outstanding engineers.

At Onfido, we work in cross-functional, mission-driven teams who build and ship independently. We place huge value on trust and ownership, and believe these are the key elements behind motivated, engaged and high-performing teams. Here’s a bit more about how teams work at Onfido.

Engineering leadership at Onfido is twofold:

We believe that combining team leadership and people management allows our engineering leaders to have a tremendous impact, both on individual growth and Onfido’s long-term success.

Right now, we're particularly looking for people who'd be interested in working on our Document Verification product. This product is the core of what we do - our teams in this area work closely with applied scientists to implement fast, highly accurate fraud detection approaches - and stay ahead of fraudsters!

We also work on providing a robust, secure & scalable platform that supports our geographic expansion and strategic use cases.

THE COMPANY

We’re building the new identity standard for the internet.

Whether you want to open a bank account or hire a car, our lives are moving online. That means millions of everyday interactions now happen digitally—without ever meeting anyone face-to-face. Increasingly, our identities are becoming the new currency which we use to access online services. But with half the world being unbanked, and identity fraud on the rise, that’s becoming more and more difficult. So our mission is to create an open world, where identity is the key to access.

We use machine learning to assess whether a user’s government-issued ID is genuine or fraudulent, and then compare it against their facial biometrics. As a global leader in computer vision, our AI learns to identity fraud as it evolves over time. Our goal is to apply cutting-edge research to build powerful, simple products that drive inclusion and safety online—without compromising on user privacy.

That’s how we give companies like Revolut, Zipcar and Bitstamp the assurance they need to onboard users remotely and securely across 195 countries… and we’re just getting started!

Founded in 2012, we're a diverse, global team of 250 technologists spread across 6 countries. We've also received over $60m in funding from world-class technology investors including Salesforce and Microsoft.
