DevOps Engineer

This is a full-time position for a remote candidate based in Serbia.

About Evernym

We exist to bring more humanity into our digital interactions.

Even in 2021, it’s very difficult to prove information about yourself including simply who you are. This problem manifests itself every day for billions of people and millions of organizations. You tell the bank your mother’s name, you have to remember hundreds of passwords, and yet even with terrible user experience, fraud is rampant and privacy is lost. It’s a massive pain for humans, it costs billions for organizations. But there’s a fix.

Self-Sovereign Identity (‘SSI’) will revolutionize how people interact with organizations and amongst other things, will allow people to instantly prove who they are while also respecting their privacy. Soon, every person will have a digital wallet on their phone holding their most important credentials (passport, Covid test result status, driver’s license, proof of employment, immigration status, etc.), and it’ll transform how we interact digitally.

Our core product, Verity, makes it simple for any organization to issue or verify digital credentials. Every single organization in the world that interacts with its customers, team, patients, students, etc. will need tools from a company like ours.

We’re a team of around 35 spread across 7 timezones but with concentrations in the US West Coast and Europe. Right now we’re 100% remote, but we may open/re-open offices at our hubs in Seattle, London, Salt Lake City or Belgrade at some stage.
