Research Analyst/System Analyst

POSITION OVERVIEW
We are looking for a Research Analyst/System Analyst with a strong developer background to join the product team. You will explore new identity verification and biometric vendors, and build proof-of-concept solutions that show how each vendor could work within our Client’s platform. Your findings, demos, and recommendations will directly shape the product team's decisions on which technologies to adopt.
We expect a new team member to work independently and proactively: discover information on their own when documentation is incomplete, dig into unfamiliar APIs, and turn research into clear, well-argued conclusions. Strong communication skills are essential, since you will present results to the product team and work closely with US-based colleagues.
General project description
The project offers a biometric-based identity verification and passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) platform with a privacy-by-design architecture centered around a private and permissioned distributed ledger. The platform generates a non-phishable multi-factor authentication credential for employees while giving customers a convenient passwordless option for strong authentication to prevent fraud. Because all personally identifiable information (PII) is public/private key encrypted and the user maintains sole possession and access to the private key without third-party intermediaries, PII is always stored and managed in compliance with data privacy mandates and is never exposed in the clear. The platform's innovative architecture combines live biometrics, machine verification of government credentials, a portable digital identity wallet, a private, permissioned ledger, and verified reusable digital credentials. Combined, these capabilities eliminate the identity gap in conventional Single Sign-On (SSO) and MFA. They remove the compromise between security and convenience by reducing transaction friction while verifying identity at every access or service request. An immutable chain of custody provides tamper-evident digital identity and verified credentials for unmatched trust.
