What We Do
Nametag is a more secure way to access online accounts. We invented “Sign in with ID'' because trusting a username and password is not the same as knowing its owner when you’re trying to prevent fraud. We believe security should be centered around you. Our Multi-Factor Identity™ technology verifies your government-issued ID on your phone, matched to a selfie - so you can confirm your identity one time - or every time - you sign in online. We enable companies to secure valuable user accounts with ID-based biometric authentication so they can provide ongoing account protection, and automate account recovery or transaction authorization.
Why Work With Us
We are building a world-class, remote-first culture and we want to find super-talented people who can contribute from anywhere. Everyone works on their own time zone, and we align team meetings on a common time that works for all. There are no water cooler conversations for a selected few, everyone has a voice.
