About the role

  • Enterprises rely on Pindrop to secure billions of high-risk customer interactions each year, including top U.S. banks, as well as leading insurers and healthcare providers.
  • Powered by models trained on more than 1.5 billion real-world interactions annually and protected by 300+ patents, Pindrop restores trust while reducing fraud, lowering operational costs, and improving customer experience.
  • Recognized by TIME as one of the Top 10 Most Influential Software Companies of 2026 and by Inc. for Best in Business for Innovation, Pindrop is backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, IVP, and CapitalG.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, test, deploy, and monitor high-performance backend services and APIs using Go and Python, with an emphasis on secure, low-latency authentication and identity workflows.
  • Build and maintain cloud‑native services across AWS and GCP (e.g., S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis, IAM) with a focus on reliability, scale, and secure production operation, including data pipelines that feed downstream ML and risk models used in authentication decisions.
  • Deliver features and enhancements through the full software development lifecycle, including implementation, automated testing, deployment, and operational support, using CI/CD and infrastructure‑as‑code practices.
  • Tackle complex software engineering problems in authentication, identity, and fraud prevention-contributing to architecture decisions, threat‑aware design, and continuous improvement of engineering best practices across the team.
  • Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and design reviews that clarify how authentication services behave, how AI/ML components are used safely, and how other engineers should integrate with the platform.
  • As AI-driven fraud and deepfakes erode trust in digital communication, Pindrop delivers continuous identity verification and deepfake detection across voice, video, and digital interactions in real time.

Requirements

  • You are energized by solving hard technical problems and improving systems, processes, and engineering standards, especially in high‑stakes, security‑sensitive environments.
  • You are resilient, adaptable, and effective in environments that require context switching, rapid troubleshooting, and operating through ambiguity while maintaining high quality.
  • You are invested in helping others grow and bring a mentorship mindset to code reviews, pairing, and day‑to‑day collaboration.
  • Experience with backend data stores and messaging technologies such as Redis, MySQL, RabbitMQ, and Elasticsearch.
  • Experience in authentication, identity, fraud prevention, or other security-sensitive product environments.
  • Experience with observability tooling and production diagnostics across metrics, logging, and tracing.

Nice to have

  • Strong experience with Go, Python, or similar languages, plus a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and Linux-based development.
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native systems in AWS or GCP, including managed services such as S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis, and IAM.
  • Experience with CI/CD, DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, and production ownership, including deploying, monitoring, troubleshooting, and supporting services in live environments.
