Product Designer

Description

Group: Technology | Function: Product Design

This 6-month Internship is an opportunity to use Design to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our Product.

You will improve the way we process checks, time to process and quality of our service and ultimately impact on our key company goals for 2019, create customer buzz for our clients and attract new ones too.

You’ll join a Design team that has been recognised as a UX Leader in Identity Verification. We’re a team of smart, fun, humble and friendly Designers that are inclusive and welcome new perspectives. We’ll actively support your onboarding to the team which will give you maximum chance of success.

Your mission will be to support our Document team’s sprint work to meet the team’s goals and roadmap.

To do this you will:

• Design solutions to problems identified by conducting user research on our analysts (80%)
• Support two of our Product Designers in the discovery to lay out a vision for our service (20%)

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.

You can learn more about our team and the work we do on our Onfido blog.
