Head of Device Product

About the Company:World is a network of real humans, built on privacy-preserving proof-of-human technology, and powered by a globally inclusive financial network that enables the free flow of digital assets for all. It is built to connect, empower, and be owned by everyone.About the Team:The Device Product team is a nascent team which is responsible to coordinate work streams across pillars of Device and is ultimately responsible for the roadmap and execution of the Device portfolio. You will have the opportunity to work on constantly changing challenges with the Hardware, Device Software, Product Design, Backend and AI teams as well as collaboration with teams beyond the Orb like App, Crypto and Growth.About the Orb: Worldcoin's launch requires a "Proof-of-Personhood": a way to determine someone is human (not a bot) and hasn't already claimed their free share of Worldcoin. This is why we developed the Orb.The Orb is an advanced biometric imaging device, custom-designed for Worldcoin's launch. Orbs are deployed to a global network of operators, who use the device to onboard new Worldcoin users. During this onboarding, the Orb will generate a hash of each user's iris and submit it to Worldcoin's trustless backend (built on Ethereum). For more details on how the Orb is part of Worldcoin's privacy-preserving approach to Proof-of-Personhood, see How the Launch Works.The Orb solves a fierce combination of engineering and UX challenges, centered around image quality, security, and ease-of-use. Each device has an advanced iris imaging system, designed to work consistently across real-world lighting conditions. An additional suite of sensors feeds into an onboard fraud detection system, enabling use in unsecured environments. These systems are combined in a sleek industrial design with a simple, minimalist user interface.About the Opportunity:As the Head of Device Product, you will be responsible for leading the experience of the Orb and other Devices in their entirety as well as the Project Management.
