About Kiauth

Kiauth is a pre-seed, high-impact startup building the foundational trust layer for India's digital economy—the "UPI for Identity."

We are solving a massive, unified crisis of trust. For individuals, we're eliminating the risk of fraud from sharing ID photocopies and the chaos of managing weak passwords. For businesses, we're eliminating the multi-crore compliance liability under the DPDP Act and the security risk of account takeovers.

Our platform replaces these broken systems with a single, privacy-preserving digital identity Layer that allows users to verify their identity in person and log in online with a simple, biometric-approved "digital handshake."

The Mission : Why This Role Exists

We are not looking for an employee. We are looking for a Founding Partner.

We are searching for a passionate, hands-on, and visionary Technical Co-founder who will be the chief architect of this new trust infrastructure. You will be responsible for building the entire Kiauth platform from the ground up—a platform that must be un-hackable, infinitely scalable, and beautifully simple. This is an opportunity to build a piece of critical national infrastructure and define the future of digital identity in India.

What You Will Do (The Responsibilities)

• Architect & Build : Lead the end-to-end design, architecture, and hands-on development of the entire Kiauth platform, including our backend microservices, secure APIs, and the user's mobile "App."
• Be the Security & Privacy Champion : Design and implement a world-class, "zero-knowledge" security architecture. You will own everything to ensure our platform is provably private and compliant with the DPDP Act.
• Define the Stack : Select the entire technology stack (languages, frameworks, cloud infrastructure, databases) to ensure scalability, security, and development velocity.

Who You Are (The Requirements)
