Job Summary

As a Senior Software Engineer at Prove, you will play a critical role in building, maintaining, and scaling the technology that powers the next generation of identity verification. Whether working on consumer and business identity services or developing low-level phone intelligence data signals, you will design and implement robust, high-performance solutions. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve complex technical challenges, improve system architecture, and contribute to the mission-critical infrastructure that helps institutions solve fraud and verify digital identity worldwide.

Team Focus Areas

We are currently hiring for two engineering teams, each solving unique challenges in the identity space:

  • Data Engineering Team: Join our team to design and build the fault-tolerant, scalable platforms powering our core identity services (Verified Users, Prefill, and KYB/KYC). You’ll work hands-on with senior engineers and product leaders to tackle complex, high-scale architectural challenges and directly influence our identity verification roadmap.
  • Phone Number Intelligence: Our team focuses on phone intelligence and generating low-level data signals used by various internal services. This work is foundational to our fraud detection capabilities, providing specialized knowledge of mobile carrier data and fraud patterns. We are currently migrating data and migrating to an event-driven architecture, offering an exciting opportunity for someone to shape our infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Engineering Excellence: Write high-quality, maintainable code, develop detailed technical documentation, and champion strong engineering principles within the team.
  • System Development: Design and develop microservices within a cloud-native, distributed architecture.
  • Problem Solving: Analyze, debug, and resolve production issues. Proactively engage in technical design discussions, including writing and reviewing RFCs for new solutions.
  • Technical Leadership: Mentor team members, participate in code reviews, and drive technical decisions. Own end-to-end features—from initial design and RFC creation to implementation and maintenance.
  • Collaborative development: Participate in the “Owner/Helper” project model; contribute as a lead owner for major milestones and actively support team members on their own initiatives.

Your First Three Months

30 Days (Onboarding): Gain a high-level understanding of our architecture, team goals, and existing services. Make your first code contributions by resolving bugs or tackling small tasks within the codebase.

60 Days (Contribution): Integrate into the design process by reviewing RFCs and providing technical feedback. Contribute significantly as an active team member to one of our milestones.

90 Days (Ownership): Develop a deep grasp of our product and migration strategies. Take ownership of a minor or major milestone, or lead the drafting of an RFC for a new initiative.

Prove Identity (operating under prove.com, legally Prove Identity, Inc., and formerly known as Payfone, Inc.) is the premier, enterprise-grade cryptographic digital identity verification, mobile authentication pioneer, and passwordless security orchestration powerhouse engineered to act as the definitive, high-velocity consumer trust registry, real-time onboarding acceleration, and structural fraud prevention layer for global banking institutions, fintech networks, e-commerce brands, and healthcare systems. Founded in 2008 by visionary mobile payment and technology entrepreneurs Rodger Desai and Mike Brody, the corporate ecosystem completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern digital identity verification—where companies lose up to 40% of prospective clients due to complex, manual document scanning, high-latency multi-factor SMS delays, and intrusive knowledge-based authentication checkpoints that fail to stop sophisticated, AI-driven synthetic identity fraud—by deploying its proprietary mobile-centric infrastructure. Moving far beyond traditional, passive credit bureau checks or slow photo ID matching methods, Prove natively unifies authoritative mobile operator signal telemetry, continuous passive phone possession analysis, real-time identity tokenization, and instant form pre-fill engines (Prove Pre-Fill®) into a single high-availability verification operating framework. Processing over 30 billion secure authentication transactions annually for over 2,000 corporate clients, the platform serves as a primary trust foundation for 9 of the top 10 financial institutions in the United States and global consumer marketplace leaders like BetMGM, Synchrony, and Care.com. Reflecting its massive category dominance and certified unicorn status, the high-growth enterprise has raised more than $268 million in institutional venture capital, achieving a valuation exceeding $1 billion through backing from elite strategic groups including Capital One Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, Apax Digital, TransUnion, and Amex Ventures. Under the hood, its technology architecture operates on a massive distributed network that cross-references physical mobile device signatures with network carrier event logs in real time, executing frictionless passwordless login protocols (Prove Auth®) that achieve a 79% acceleration in customer onboarding speeds and up to a 75% structural reduction in active account fraud while remaining entirely SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and CCPA data privacy compliant with absolute execution correctness. What sets Prove Identity apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing fragile, high-friction user inputs with silent, tokenized device possession validation and instantaneous profile construction; by bridging the gap between high-volume relational enterprise database registries and seamless, millisecond-level mobile security assurance, the corporation remains a definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic digital trust and global cybersecurity transformation.
