About the role

Proof of Human provides frictionless, continual human verification. We’re looking for an exceptional engineer to join our team. This engineer will work on full-stack web development and research, with a focus on backend and cloud infrastructure.

What you’ll do:

  • Architect and Develop: Design and build scalable backend infrastructure (AWS, Node, Python) optimized for handling millions of sessions per minute with minimal latency. 
  • Lead Feature Development: Own end-to-end delivery of key product features, from initial concept through deployment and support. 
  • Technical Roadmapping: Directly influence engineering strategy and decisions through close collaboration with the technical team.
  • Partner Cross-functionally: Work closely with the rest of the team to deliver features aligned with business objectives.
  • Cutting Edge Research: You also may assist the team in writing scientific articles summarizing our work for publication at top venues (e.g. Science, NeurIPS, ICML).

 

Who you are:

  • 3+ years of experience in software development would be ideal.
  • Strong backend web development skills with experience going from problem to deployment.
  • Proficiency in both web development (Javascript, Node.js) and Python.
  • Experience building cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) at scale.
  • Excited by working on a small team where your contributions have an outsized impact.
  • Strong quantitative background and an eagerness to learn. Research experience is a plus.

If you’re interested in joining a rapidly growing, cutting-edge AI security company that is protecting the future of online integrity, we’d love to talk.
