About Proof of Human

continuous human verification without CAPTCHAs or user friction

Tech

Our technical work is full-stack and requires both scientific advancement and engineering excellence. Your scientific work will involve working with our team to develop new tasks and methods to distinguish humans and AI systems, gathering data through internal red-teaming, and training models that are robust in adversarial contexts. This research work will involve an interdisciplinary mix of machine learning, cognitive science, and online experimentation. You also may assist the team in writing scientific articles summarizing our work for publication at top venues (e.g. Science, HCI, NeurIPS). Engineering work will involve building systems to serve these models with minimal latency and building intuitive interfaces for our clients. Compared to other AI research labs, we have a singular focus on productizing, deploying, and monetizing frictionless digital identity systems.

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.
