About the role

Roundtable provides frictionless, continual verification for our clients. Our Proof of Human product tracks and strops bots and fraud in real time to safeguard the integrity of online insights, traffic, and spend. Compared to other AI research labs, we have a singular focus on productizing, deploying, and monetizing frictionless digital identity systems. We’re looking for an exceptional engineer to join our team. This engineer will work on full-stack web development and research, with a focus on back-end and cloud infrastructure.

What you’ll do:

  • Architect and Develop: Design and build scalable backend infrastructure (AWS, Node, Python) optimized for handling millions of sessions per minute with  minimal latency.
  • Lead Feature Development: Own end-to-end delivery of key product features, from initial concept through deployment and support.
  • Technical Roadmapping: Directly influence engineering strategy and decisions through close collaboration with the technical founder and team.
  • Partner Cross-functionally: Work closely with the rest of the team to seamlessly deliver features aligned with business objectives.
  • Cutting Edge Research: You also may assist the team in writing scientific articles summarizing our work for publication at top venues (e.g. Science,, NeurIPS, ICML).

Who you are:

  • 3+ years of experience in software development would be ideal
  • Strong backend web development skills with experience going from problem to deployment
  • Proficiency in both web development (Javascript, Node.js) and Python.
  • Experience building cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) at scale.
  • A keen intuition for well-designed software and well-written code
  • Excitement about working on a small team where your contributions have an outsized impact
  • Strong quantitative background and an eagerness to learn. Research experience is a plus.

If you’re interested in joining a rapidly growing, cutting-edge AI security company that is protecting the future of online data integrity, we’d love to chat with you.
