Size Matters, Mattes Wins

Jumio’s staff is expanding rapidly.

And even though we operate in a state of anardemocracy here at the Jumio HQ and the development centre, the screens on the desks reveal who is important at Jumio and who is not quite there yet. As cruel as it sounds, once again it looks like size does matter.

Here are the gadgets, and the according position within the company.

Yes, You Can! You Can Be A Developer!

Alright, we won’t lie to you.
Working for Jumio can be (looking for euphemisms here…) “challenging”. The hours might be long, the deadlines might be tight, the food might be junk.

But the upside is tempting, if not glamorous even. You’ll be working in a young, positive environment with the unique chance to contribute to what will be a ground breaking payment solution. The development center in Linz, Austria, is nothing short of sleek, and the team is experienced, motivated and have a reputation for not taking life too seriously. Yes, working for Jumio is fun, and the money is not too bad either.

Down the line you’ll be facing countless opportunities. We are a fairly well connected bunch, with friends all over the planet, and headquarters in the Valley of the Silicon (where the weather is always nice).

Specifically we are looking for visionary computer scientists with knowledge in open source technology. And smart people with potential to change the world. Take the challenge and drop us an email. You’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain. jobs@jumio.com

Jajah Founder Goes Jumio

Co-founder of VoIP platform Jajah.com, Daniel Mattes, has unveiled a new start-up for online payments called Jumio.com, a universal transaction solution for both individuals and businesses.

Details are yet undisclosed, except “it will be a revolutionary, quick and easy service that fulfills our high security criteria”, explains Mattes. Jumio is currently in stealth mode, the official presentation of the service is planned for later this year.

Jumio is headquartered in Mountain View, California, while the development centre is currently being set up in Linz, Austria. For Thomas Kastenhofer, COO at Jumio, this particular region is a definite first choice. “Both the Technical University of Linz and the Software Park Hagenberg are close by and produce an elite of developers every year.” Jumio expects to offer up to 100 jobs for developers in their offices in Linz, applications can be mailed to jobs@jumio.com
