    About Us
    We are an early-stage startup based in New York City on a mission to revolutionize the future of identity. As we live increasing digital lives, the methods we use to prove who we are have become outdated and insecure. We are building a universal identity platform that makes it faster, easier, and safer for people to prove their identities online, in person, and over the phone -- while providing businesses with an efficient, cost-effective, and secure way to know their customers.

    About the Job
    We are looking for a passionate, highly-skilled senior software engineer with solid industry experience to lead our team to launch and grow our existing products — such as our iOS app, website, and backend.

    What You’ll Do
    Initially, the role will mainly focus on fixing a shortlist of bugs and implementing a couple features in our existing iOS app (written in Objective-C) to complete and test our MVP. After launch, the role will be more involved as we look to rebuild our platform using the latest technologies — such as Swift, high-end security, and more. Our current tech stack includes (but is not limited to) iOS, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Angular, ng-admin, Typescript, JavaScript.

    What We’re Looking For
    • Minimum Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Computer Science, or related field
    • 3+ years of industry experience in software engineering
    • Portfolio of iOS apps on the App Store, other relevant work
    • Expert in iOS development (Objective-C, Swift)
    • Experience with full stack development (mobile and web)
    • Experience with security (private/public keys, encryption, app security)
    • Experience designing, building, and maintaining RESTful APIs
    • Experience with UI/UX design
    • Experience with 3rd party libraries, frameworks, and services

    Bonus Qualifications
    • Cybersecurity or other security-related experience
    • Blockchain, decentralized architectures or relevant experience
    • Machine learning, artificial intelligence, automation experience
    • Android experience

    Compensation and Benefits
    • Competitive annual salary package
    • Various other benefits

    This is truly an exciting and opportune time to join our small team and help shape the future of identity. We are looking to build a team around the ideal candidate who will have a strong impact on the direction of our company.
