About us

Keyless is a deeptech cybersecurity company founded by renowned security experts, experienced technologists and business leaders, bringing more than 10 years of research to life.

Keyless is pioneering the world’s first privacy-preserving biometric authentication and personal identity management platform, combining multi-modal biometrics with advanced cryptography, that leverages a distributed cloud architecture.

Keyless zero-knowledge biometrics solution eliminates the need to store and manage sensitive information, enabling businesses to adopt passwordless authentication, protect their remote workforce and enable strong customer authentication with just one look.

Job Description

As a Data Scientist, you will dive deep into the technology that lies at the foundations of Keyless. You are able to exploit the data in order to extract meaning and interpretation; you love to build mathematical and statistical models, design and implement algorithms with the aim of gaining insights and proposing data driven decisions and solutions. You will be part of the Machine Learning Team in Keyless working on vision and biometric data pipelines and deep learning models. This position requires strong analytical rigor and hacker mindset.

You know what it is needed in order to build data driven features that will positively impact, improving and evolving, the Keyless products. You are a data story teller, you see information and patterns where others see just bits. You are able to deliver: starting a project from the idea and driving it through the successful implementation.
