I founded and ran a YC company for 8 years before joining Smile ID. Smile ID is a fantastic place to work: meaningful mission, challenging engineering problems (scaling ML pipelines, multimodal models, hundreds of real-world enterprise integrations), and a genuinely talented team. You’re helping hundreds of millions of people access critical services—it’s incredibly rewarding. Highly recommend applying if you want tangible impact, great colleagues, and (optionally!) opportunities to travel in Africa.
