From Persona's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Persona is the configurable identity platform built for businesses in a digital-first world. Verifying individuals and organizations is harder — but more important — than ever, with AI enabling fraudsters to launch sophisticated accounts at scale and regulations evolving rapidly.
We’ve built Persona to support practically every use case and industry — that’s why we’re able to serve a wide range of leading companies. For example, Reddit relies on Persona for age assurance and verification to comply with online safety regulations, protecting younger users while maintaining a seamless experience. Meanwhile, OpenAI relies on Persona to keep bad actors out, protecting one of the world’s most powerful AI platforms from large-scale abuse in a time when AI is reshaping the way we work and live.
We’re growing rapidly and looking for exceptional people to join us!
Persona builds identity verification infrastructure. Security isn't a layer we add later. It's core to everything we ship. At most companies, a security failure means downtime. Here, it means a real person's identity is compromised. The stakes at Persona are different.
AI is raising the bar on both sides: it's making breaches more common and more damaging, and it's letting us build systems in-house that used to be out of reach, changing how we think about build vs. buy in real time. The engineers who can move fast on both are the ones this role is for.
This is a software engineering role first. Security curiosity matters while a dedicated security background doesn't. The team runs more like infrastructure than a typical security org: not in a silo, a lot of what we ship is core product code, and you'll be building alongside other engineering teams, not just configuring what they've already built.
Must-haves
Nice to haves
Small and high trust by design. High ownership from day one. This isn't a team where your work disappears into a large org, and it isn't a team where you just configure what someone else built. The team's seniority means you'll be talking every day with experienced engineers who genuinely want to collaborate and teach, both within security and across the product and platform teams we partner with. Everyone on the team got into security through a different path, and you don't need a security background to be a strong fit here.
Based in San Francisco, CA. Relocation assistance available.
