Binance offerings range from trading and finance to education, research, payments, institutional services, Web3 features, and more. We leverage the power of digital assets and blockchain to build an inclusive financial ecosystem to advance the freedom of money and improve financial access for people around the world.
About the Team
The Identity & Security team owns the front door to Binance. We build and operate the registration, login, and account security experience used by every one of our 300M+ users — social login, OAuth and third-party authorization, multi-factor authentication, passkeys and FIDO2, device management, account activity, and account closure.
We are currently building an in-house AI facial recognition security product for KYC verification and user safety, replacing our existing third-party vendor solution. This is a to-C product serving hundreds of millions of users, directly impacting account security and identity verification experience at scale.
Our work sits where three forces meet: enormous scale, strict security and regulatory constraints, and the reality that one extra verification step can block an attacker or lock out a legitimate user. We ship across web, mobile mini programs, and in-app webviews, and we publish the shared authentication libraries and SDKs that the rest of Binance builds on.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain the login, registration, and account security applications across web and mobile clients
- Build the in-house AI facial recognition security product end to end — KYC verification, liveness detection, face matching — replacing the existing third-party vendor solution
- Build authentication capabilities end to end: passkeys / FIDO2 (WebAuthn), authenticator apps, security keys, SMS and email verification, and biometric flows
- Own the multi-factor authentication orchestration layer — verification strategy, step-up logic, and user-level customization — balancing security strength against completion rate with measurable outcomes
- Collaborate closely with the AI algorithm team to integrate facial recognition, liveness detection, and other AI model capabilities into the product frontend and backend, building high-concurrency, low-latency online inference services
- Maintain and evolve the shared security component and logic libraries consumed by multiple product applications, and the authentication SDKs published to teams across the company; take responsibility for bundle size, initialization behavior, and backward compatibility
