About iProov:
iProov is the world leader in face biometric verification. We are on a mission to make the Internet a safer place for businesses and consumers and work with fantastic customers across a number of industry sectors - organisations using our technology include the US Department of Homeland Security, the UK Home Office, the NHS, Eurostar, the Australian government, the Singapore government, UBS and many more.
Diversity at iProov is about reflecting the customers we serve, holding the principles of equality and inclusion at the heart of everything we do and all that we stand for, embracing differences, creating possibilities, and growing together. We aim to foster a culture where individuals of all backgrounds feel confident in bringing their whole selves to work, feel included and their talents are nurtured, empowering them to contribute fully to our purpose.
iProov’s Web SDK is pushing the boundaries of what is possible with web technologies today. The Web SDK provides a widely available, usable product that forms part of a system that delivers a number of social benefits to society, from remote onboarding to banks and healthcare to safe authentication for national infrastructure and services.
Our vision is to provide this experience with native level performance across the broadest range of devices possible.
As with any interactive experience on the web, we know this is a challenging environment in which to deliver an SDK: it needs to fit into our customer’s app framework and work in a variety of configurations; it’s a rewarding feeling when we thread the needle through and watch how our releases perform on our dashboards and monitoring systems.
How you’ll make an impact:
- Ensuring our product collects accurate sensor information from the browser to feed into our biometric systems.
- Participating in performance analysis of our product across a number of devices and operating conditions, and contributing from a web technology perspective.
- Considering and improving our user experience and user interface when implementing our biometric products on the Web.
- Implementing image and signal processing algorithms on the frontend using a mixture of JavaScript and Rust/WebAssembly where appropriate.
- Ensuring quality and minimising tedium by automating testing and making use of static code analysis.
We tend to look for people with:
- Expertise in frontend engineering across a broad variety of devices.
- A passion for building scalable systems
- Commercial experience in implementing algorithms on the frontend with a reasonable level of complexity (for example, basic image processing, Walker’s algorithm, etc).
- hands-on programming experience in TypeScript/JavaScript in a commercial setting.
- Use of Rust or C++ to build WebAssembly in production.
- Experience in iterative development with a rapid release cycle.
- Strong debugging skills, both for code and holistic solutions.
- Experience in the full secure software development lifecycle process
