Senior IT Engineer

About the Company:

World is building a real human network designed to accelerate people in the age of AI. As bots and autonomous agents reshape the internet, people, institutions, and applications need a trusted way to confirm who is a real human while preserving privacy. Our products make this possible: the Orb verifies real people, World ID proves it privately, and World App enables and distributes the new applications made possible by this technology. Together, they form a new layer for AI internet.

We’re one of the fastest-growing networks in tech. More than 17 million people across 160 countries have verified with World ID, and we complete over 350,000 verifications each week. World App is already among the most used wallets globally. Developers are integrating World ID to build safer online experiences and create spaces where real people can participate, earn, and be recognized in ways AI simply can’t replicate.

World was founded in 2019 and launched globally in 2023. We are more than 400 people across hardware, software, AI, cryptography, mobile engineering, and global operations. Our teams come from OpenAI, Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Google, Stripe, Meta, Coinbase, Palantir and MIT Media Lab. We’re backed by leading investors, including a16z, Khosla Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, Blockchain Capital, Variant, Tiger Global, and Coinbase Ventures, as well as prominent operators and founders across fintech and AI.

World has been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine, highlighted in Fast Company’s Next 5 in Fintech, and explored in a Bloomberg deep dive. The New York Times, Bankless and TechCrunch have all recognized our progress in identity, cryptography, AI, and global-scale hardware deployment. Our leadership is also named to the Time AI 100.

About the Team

Join a lean, high-impact IT Engineering team that acts as a critical force multiplier for Tools for Humanity. As one of two engineers globally, you will be the cornerstone of our European operations, working in close partnership with your counterpart in San Francisco. Our team's mission is to empower every employee with a seamless, secure, and powerful technology environment. We don't just solve problems; we engineer solutions that anticipate needs and enable the entire company to move with the "Extreme Urgency" our mission demands.

About the Opportunity

This is more than a support role; it's an opportunity to build, automate, and own the IT infrastructure that powers a global movement. You will be the primary technical owner for our San Francisco office. Your responsibilities will range from providing white-glove support to our world-class team, to deploying and maintaining best-in-class systems. A key part of your role will be designing and building automations that connect our systems, reduce manual work, and enhance our security posture. You will also play an instrumental role in our physical expansion, taking charge of IT buildouts for new offices as we scale.

About You

You are an IT professional who thinks like an engineer. You're not content with manual processes and are always looking for ways to automate and improve systems.

• You possess a broad technical skill set across modern corporate IT, including identity management (Okta), device management (Kandji), and networking fundamentals.

• You are obsessively user-focused, taking pride in delivering a world-class experience that makes your colleagues' work-life better and safer.

• You are "In the Driver’s Seat," demonstrating extreme ownership and a proactive approach to your work. You don't wait for tickets; you hunt for opportunities.

• You thrive under pressure and operate with a powerful sense of urgency, understanding that our mission is a sprint, not a marathon.

• You have experience in a fast-growing, dynamic environment and are comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with scaling a global company.

• You are an excellent, direct communicator, capable of collaborating effectively with your technical counterpart in a different time zone and supporting non-technical colleagues with clarity and patience.

• Flexibility for international travel is required to lead IT initiatives for new office launches.
