About Us

DUST Identity provides security, integrity, and traceability to the world’s supply chains.

DUST Identity is a fast-growing venture-backed startup at the intersection of innovations in materials, hardware, and software. DUST Identity is looking for new team members who are eager to take on the challenge of building the industry standard for physical object identification and security.

        An Insider's view of DUST Identity

        What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

        From parts in fighter jets to tomatoes in the grocery store, how do we know that products are genuine and produced according to the seller's promises? Identity is the key to trust. We create trust by providing an unclonable fingerprint for physical things that securely binds objects of any size to their digital records.

        What makes someone successful on your team?

        You will thrive on our team if you are curious about the world, see problems as unsolved rather than unsolvable, and love to learn about a wide range of topics. You can handle ambiguity and take initiative. You are curious about the why AND the how. You enjoy being part of a collaborative team and can provide feedback just as well as receive it.
