Company Overview
We are a forward-thinking tech startup, founded by experienced technology, security, and design specialists with four successful exits. Frustrated by the lack of trust in traditional messaging platforms — particularly in business communications — we created a new standard: a platform where users retain full control of their data, not the platform owner.
Our product empowers businesses and individuals to communicate securely and privately, with industry-leading innovations such as end-to-end encryption, geofencing, and continuous facial recognition — verifying not just the device but the actual person engaging with it.
About the Role
We are looking for a Technology Intern with a strong academic background and passion for machine learning, computer vision, and advanced biometric systems. You will work directly with our senior technology team on projects that enhance and extend our platform’s capabilities, particularly around biometric authentication and object recognition using machine learning.
We are looking for tenacious individuals with an eye for detail, a deep love for technology, and the courage to push new ideas forward. Ideal candidates are the ones who often lead technical projects among their peers — bold, innovative, yet able to work within a focused plan to drive real results.
If you’re excited about building AI and machine learning solutions in a security-first environment, and want to work on cutting-edge real-world applications, we want to hear from you.
