Senior Technical Artist

Job Description:

We are looking for a self-driven Senior Technical Artist to come onboard and help us develop state of the art captcha challenges. You will be working in the team conceptualizing and developing captcha challenges by using Blender in combination with Python to generate images at scale. These challenge images are then AB tested on live audiences, and also tested against in-house machine learning tools to determine their strength against automation. These challenges are used across a wide range of popular services, and your work will help protect many of the services you know and love on the internet.

You will be expected to innovate with new puzzle ideas, follow through to produce the puzzle at scale with suitable amounts of image variation, and then validate metrics for puzzle solvability on real humans, and how difficult the puzzle is to solve using automation techniques.
