Senior Security Engineer, Hardware DetectionAbout the Company:World is a network of real humans, built on privacy-preserving proof-of-human technology, and powered by a globally inclusive financial network that enables the free flow of digital assets for all.
It is built to connect, empower, and be owned by everyone.
This opportunity would be with Tools for Humanity.About the OrbWorld's launch requires a "Proof-of-Personhood": a way to determine someone is human (not a bot) and hasn't already claimed their free share of Worldcoin.
This is why we developed the Orb.
The Orb is an advanced biometric imaging device, custom-designed for Worldcoin's launch.
Orbs are deployed to a global network of operators, who use the device to onboard new World users.
During this onboarding, the Orb generates an encoding of each user's iris and submits it to World's backend.
The Orb solves a fierce combination of engineering and UX challenges, centered around image quality, security, and ease-of-use.
Each device has an advanced iris imaging system, designed to work consistently across real-world lighting conditions.
An additional suite of sensors feeds into an onboard fraud detection system, enabling use in insecure environments.
About the Team:Our multidisciplinary team's mission is to detect & respond to attacks against the global-scale identity World ID service, which leverages a unique hardware device (the Orb), cloud-hosted APIs, mobile apps, and operations on the Ethereum blockchain to provide privacy-preserving "proof of human." Together, we apply expertise in hardware, cloud infrastructure, application security, mobile devices, intrusion detection, machine learning/AI, blockchain, incident response, and more to solve these novel challenges.
This team will be working closely with the teams building the core technologies (apps, orbs, network protocols, encryption designs, attestation, etc) because D&R and Privacy are foundational elements of the World Network.
About the Role:You will work with our team of security experts to leverage a variety of logs and security events from cloud deployed applications (especially in AWS) to detect and respond to intrusion activity and attacks on cloud-deployed APIs as part of the global-scale World ID identity service.
