Penetration Tester

Description

THE ROLE

Onfido is looking for a full-time Information Security Specialist starting in our London office but having international outreach.

As a Cyber Security Team, we have the duty to protect our customer’s data and intellectual property by implementing and utilising cutting-edge cyber security technologies, engaging in a wide-range of technical security assessments and providing expert guidance on all matters related to information and data security. This requires a unique type of a security-empowered brain, problem solving skills and technical knowhow.

The most important aspect of the job is to be able to dive deep in technical problems and provide expert guidance, develop security software solutions, find software and logic vulnerabilities in code and services, engage with development and business teams to teach best-security practices, etc.

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.
