Senior Software Engineer

Who We Are: Innerworks

2024 marks a pivotal year—there are now more bots on the internet than humans. At Innerworks, we're on a mission to change that. The online experience for users has suffered due to outdated, ineffective systems, from the frustration of CAPTCHA tests to the poor performance and integration of existing bot detection solutions. The internet can do better, and we’re here to make it happen.

Our cutting-edge, AI-driven technology leverages behavioural biometrics to provide proof of humanity and identity online, making digital spaces more secure, fraud-resistant, and user-friendly. As an early-stage, VC-backed startup, we're passionate about delivering increased trust and authenticity in the digital world.

We're a tight-knit team of five full-time employees, working in our office in Waterloo, London. Our key backers include Tim Draper, Cronos, former leaders at Coinbase, Citi, and UBS, as well as Avalanche and the Google Cloud Web3 Program.

The Role: Software Engineer

We’re looking for a dynamic software engineer to join our innovative team at the forefront of bot detection and digital identity. In this role, you'll work closely with our talented developers to enhance our technology stack, ensuring our solutions remain efficient, reliable, user-friendly, and scalable.

You'll be in the heart of our Waterloo office for 2-3 days a week, collaborating with passionate professionals and contributing directly to the future of online trust.
