IMPLICIT AUTHENTICATION THAT GROWS WITH YOU
OUR CULTURE
At UnifyID, culture is extremely important as we pave the way for friction-free authentication. We're assembling an incredible team of engineers and security experts that represent a huge variety of backgrounds and life experiences. This results in an amazing and vibrant perspective that is shared on a daily basis, and is directly fed into our product.
Our goal is to create a work environment that is not thought of as “work,” but more along the lines of productive camaraderie between a super tight-knit group. Trust is one of the founding principles of our company, and it all starts from the people. There is nothing more important than trusting your coworkers, as doing so opens new doors to which we can explore new strategies, ideas, and opportunities.
We love to work on hard problems that have a big impact on society, while having fun doing it. We believe in using technology and data to make people's lives better. We recognize the importance of diversity in the workplace and celebrate what makes each individual unique.
