Job Description

Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source.

We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. Some of our customers include: Coinbase, Booking.com, and Yahoo, just to name a few.

We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open source project is Fingerprint (16K stars on GitHub).

We have raised $44M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla,  Facebook,  Airbnb), Nexus VP (previously invested in Postman,  Hasura) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle).

We’re looking for a Web Platform Researcher to improve the accuracy and stability of Fingerprints’ core products. Someone who loves experimenting with JavaScript, Web APIs, and has a deep understanding of security concepts on the web.

In this role you will:

  • Improve our core products by researching novel device identification techniques in modern web browsers.
  • Document and share knowledge about the web platform and its security mechanisms.
  • Have a high level of personal ownership and autonomy, which requires experience working without clearly defined requirements.

Requirements:

  • A deep understanding of fundamental web platform technologies and security concepts.
  • Experience writing JavaScript and TypeScript code.
  • Ability to read, understand, and navigate code in different programming languages.

Ideally, we would love to have someone who also has:

  • Experience and interest in backend development (in Fingerprint we use Go).
  • A historical record of submitting issues to the Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit bug trackers.

Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
