Full Time Mid-level / Intermediate USD 130K - 220K
Online identity is the foundation of how more and more businesses operate in a world where consumer behavior, privacy, and what constitutes an individual are constantly changing. We’re building the first universal and comprehensive identity infrastructure to help businesses of all sizes manage their customers, prevent fraud, and keep personal information protected.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco, Persona is backed by top VC firms, including Index Ventures, Coatue, and Founders Fund. We’re extremely proud of our team and the work we’ve collectively accomplished so far. The majority of this team operates remotely in the United States, but commits to visiting our San Francisco HQ once a quarter to work together in person.
About the roleWe’re building both a product and a technology, and we always prioritize acting in a customer-centric way. In this role, you'll tackle challenging machine learning problems, as Persona's product needs are increasingly complex to balance the ever-changing compliance requirements of our customer base, ranging from small startups to Fortune 10 companies. You’ll develop and optimize machine learning models, contribute to cutting-edge research in generative AI and deepfake detection, and build seamless user experiences that will directly impact the long-term quality of the Persona product.
