User Experience Engineer
About DUST Identity
DUST has developed a supply-chain security solution that uses nano-diamonds to securely tag physical objects so they are uniquely identifiable. Think of a bar code, but invisible, unfalsifiable, and with diamonds! Founded in 2018, DUST Identity is an MIT spinoff, backed by top-tier VCs, that is taking on a vast global market opportunity. We aim high, and need self-starters and problem solvers who thrive when challenges are great, and potential is greater.

Your Impact
We are in the process of maturing our platform from a POC designed to support multiple sales engagements to a robust production ready system.
