Persona Job Opportunity

Persona is the configurable identity platform built for businesses in a digital-first world. Verifying individuals and organizations is harder but more important than ever, with AI enabling fraudsters to launch sophisticated accounts at scale and regulations evolving rapidly.

We've built Persona to support practically every use case and industry that's why we're able to serve a wide range of leading companies. For example, Coursera uses Persona to ensure the right person is earning each degree. Meanwhile, OpenAI relies on Persona to keep bad actors out, protecting one of the world's most powerful AI platforms from large-scale abuse in a time when AI is reshaping the way we work and live.

We believe that making the internet safer and more human requires a team that reflects the diverse, global nature of the people we aim to serve. We're growing rapidly and looking for exceptional people to join us.

About The Role

We're building both a product and a technology, and we always prioritize acting in a customer-centric way. In this role, you'll be presented with challenging technical problems, as Persona's product needs are increasingly complex as we balance the ever-changing compliance requirements of our customer base, ranging from small startups to Fortune 10 companies. You'll build reliable products and seamless user experiences that will contribute directly to the long-term quality of the Persona product.

What You'll Do At Persona

  • Design, build, and ship foundational aspects of the identity platform
  • Create innovative solutions that will help fight fraud and delight customers
  • Work directly with customers to build product features
  • Handle all different types of scale - from helping a new start up automate their manual processes to supporting enterprises with their Super Bowl Sunday scale

What You'll Bring To Persona

  • Product-thinker - You build products in a way that maximizes product value while minimizing complexity. You understand and can resolve tensions between product requirements and engineering design for large-scale projects.
  • Innovative mindset - You go beyond implementing what is tasked and make product suggestions and features that help push our product forward. You are naturally curious and embrace change.
  • Independent thinking - You learn from your mistakes quickly, and know how to unblock yourself when needed. You give yourself agency to take on new problems and drive them to impactful solutions.
  • Perfect is the enemy of good - You take pride in understanding and solving problems as soon as possible, and learn quickly from mistakes in the spirit of growing as an engineer.
  • Collaborative spirit - Collaboration isn't just a buzzword for you, it's your secret to success. You leverage the diverse perspectives of your teammates and sometimes go out of your way to learn other functions to get the job done.
