Front End Engineer

Description

Onfido uses machine learning to help over 1,500 companies verify the identity of their users online.

Founded in 2012, we've received over $60m in funding from world-class technology investors including Salesforce and Microsoft. As a team of 180 with offices in 5 countries, we work with global customers including BBVA, Square and LendingKart.

Our technology verifies the authenticity of a user’s identity document and compares it with their facial biometrics. As a global innovator in the Computer Vision space, our AI learns to identity fraud as it evolves over time, enabling our clients to rapidly onboard more users while protecting themselves against fraudulent activity. Our goal is to apply cutting-edge research to build powerful, simple products that drive trust, inclusion and safety online.

At Onfido we use a lot of exciting technology. Our engineers are flexible about technology and like to pick the right tool for the job:

• Python, Ruby and Elixir for our service code
• React and Redux for frontend work
• Tensorflow for Machine Learning / Computer Vision
• Kubernetes and Docker to package and run services
• AWS for underlying infrastructure
