About us

At SlashID, we are rethinking the way companies manage identity and authentication, giving users a better experience while respecting their privacy and keeping their data safe.

At the core of our system are encrypted user identities, with API-based modules built on top, which accomplish tasks such as authentication, authorization, ID verification and many others.

SlashID’s products are on our customer’s critical path and most of them require 99.99% uptime, so reliability and security are key to our engineering culture.

Last but not least, we are a young startup. We work with tight deadlines, lean processes and ambitious roadmaps. We are a small, tight-knit team who strives to succeed in a competitive environment.

We’re looking for people with a strong technical background and a passion for building products, not just features.

Please note:

The exact level of the role (Senior or Principal) will depend on your experience and interview performance
SlashID is remote-first and we offer flexible working arrangements to help our team manage their daily lives in the way that works best for them
if you are not located in the US, you will be hired either via a B2B contract or through an employer of record
