DFINITY is hiring a

Web3 Senior Identity Engineer

Are you passionate about data ownership and privacy? Do you want to be at the forefront of designing and implementing the next-gen infrastructure for self-sovereign identity and verifiable credentials? DFINITY is seeking a talented and experienced full-stack senior identity engineer to join the Internet Identity team.
You will work closely with leadership and a world-class team of distributed computing scientists, cryptographers, and virtual machine researchers who constantly push what’s possible with decentralized computing and identity.

Your responsibilities:

• Extend the existing Internet Identity (II) and Verifiable Credentials (VC) platform with features and tooling.
• Write technical documentation for other developers that want to integrate with our II/VC platform.
• Design and implement dApps that will showcase features of Internet Identity.
• Iterate fast on Proof of Concept implementations.
• Engage with stakeholders to obtain basic user requirements and designs and put them into code.

You likely have experience in:

• Existing web2 AuthN and AuthZ standards, implementations and products (e.g., OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML, WebAuthn, Okta, Auth0, etc)
• Existing specifications and implementations of Verifiable Credentials (e.g., W3C VC Data model)
• Front-end development with or without frameworks—ideally with Typescript. Not afraid of CSS.
• Back-end languages such as Rust or other languages used by existing leading identity platforms (We are mainly a Rust company but Java or Go are also acceptable)
• Developing secure identity products in web2 or web3 ecosystems
• Product engineering: we are looking for someone that has built web3 or web2 apps all the way from requirements to deployment, testing and maintenance

You should also be passionate about:

• User interface and experience design
• User privacy
• Web application security
• Readable and maintainable code
