Software Engineer

Descrizione

Onfido’s purpose is to make it easier for people to prove their legal identities online. We verify your government ID and compare it against your facial biometrics, so you can easily access the services you want and need.

Onfido was founded in 2012. Our first aim was to make Onfido the best place to work – a place where our team looks forward to coming every day. Our second was to use technology to make a difference on a global scale.

Traditionally, to make a trusted transaction with someone, you’d need to meet them face-to-face. But with the advent of the internet, we can now transact online with anyone, anywhere in the world. Face-to-face transactions aren’t scalable, but the anonymity of the digital age isn’t secure. Onfido exists to solve that tension.

We're now moving to a new age in which your legal identity is the new currency. It's the key to unlocking access to all the services that you want and need- from banking and car sharing right through to healthcare and voting. And Onfido sits at the heart of that. By using machine learning, we don't need to compromise on scale or security - we can verify the world's identities whilst providing the security of a local village.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for talented software engineers to join our team and help us continue to build the future of online trust. You'll join a group of smart, friendly and ambitious engineers and researchers who take pride in software we ship and hold ourselves to high standards in an industry where privacy, security and reliability are crucial.

Some of the projects we’re working on:

• Developing and industrializing machine learning and computer vision techniques to rapidly identify physical and digital forgeries
• Building developer-friendly, multi-platform APIs and SDKs to easily integrate ID verification into customer products
• Building tools to combine AI-driven verification with expert human insight at high scale
• Using pattern recognition and 3D imaging (among others!) to prevent identity spoofing
• Rich web dashboards to help customers understand their user base and fraud exposure

At Onfido, we deeply value trust and ownership. Our engineers, product managers and designers work together closely to solve a challenging problem - identity in an online world - and build products that are polished and impactful.

Our technology stack:

We’ve pretty flexible about technology and like to pick the right tool for the job:

• We build services in Ruby, Elixir and Python
• We use Javascript (React and Redux) on the frontend
• We do our ML/CV work with Python and Tensorflow (and a little bit of C!)
• Our services run on Kubernetes and AWS
