Mission Our mission is to make it easy for people to prove their identity online, regardless of the origin of their IP Address or ID Card.
Description Smile Identity builds trust.
Digital Identity is core to modern life and governs everything from banking and payments to social relationships and information access. More than 500 million Africans do not have a valid form of identification, thus excluding them from participating in various sectors of the economy.
This is why at Smile Identity, we are working to ensure that Africans everywhere are able to verify their identity online by building artificial intelligence and identity verification tools for African faces. We believe access to a digital lifestyle should not be limited by one’s ID card or country of origin.
Our team is diverse, spanning across 5 offices, 11 countries and 8 time zones with unique perspectives on the problems we are attempting to solve. We work mostly remotely, with regular opportunities to meet both in person at designated office spaces and outside of work for social team activities.
Our products are used by our partners across a wide range of industries such as Banking, Fintech, Social Welfare, Telecoms, and the Shared Economy. We are backed by US and African investors including Costanoa, CRE, Future Africa, Susa Ventures, and Vinod Khosla.
At Smile Identity, we believe in truth, in hard work, in fun and in ownership. Every Smiler has the intellectual freedom and autonomy to do their best work.
If this sounds like the kind of place for you, come join us.
