Our Mission & Vision

Zighra was founded in by behavioral scientists who saw major trends on a convergence course. Mobile payments, sensor technology, machine learning and security have transformed how people live, work, play, and conduct financial transactions – but businesses have not adapted.

Today, businesses still struggle to provide optimal security experiences thanks to the continuing rise in complexity of apps and the requirement to deliver them to smaller and slower devices. This mismatch led the founders to create the vision for the invisible security experiences and to develop Zighra’s fraud detection platform to support it.

Zighra’s mission is to help accelerate online businesses and close the fraud gap between consumers and businesses. We aim to apply the intelligence of biological systems to security to deliver continuous authentication to mobile transactions, with a convenient end user experience, and swipe-and-go simplicity.

Our People & Culture

The team at Zighra is drawn to world-changing technology. Our people thrive from seeing our customers’ success grow in real time and building technology to accelerate that growth. At the core of what drives us is one simple phrase, “Frictionless Customer Experience”. This singular focus is more than a mantra – putting the customer first is evident in the products we build, the support we provide, and the way we sell. Our technology is cutting edge, novel, patented, award-winning, but from our perspective, none of that matters if we’re not helping our customers securely accelerate their businesses with real, tangible gains.

Current Openings

Deep Learning Intern

Zighra is rapidly building out our sensor analytics infrastructure. We are extending our platform to handle billions of new records each day, a petabyte scale repository for analytics, and mobile applications for adaptive behavioral authentication and fraud detection. This platform enables Zighra’s customers to analyze and attribute user behaviours across mobile banking and commerce transactions. We’ve already built out a sensor analytics platform that powers users across 70 countries and 700+ smart device types, to give us access to these large data sets and this is a great opportunity to join as a key member of the team and be at the centre of impactful action.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

Your main objectives will be the design and implementation of a deep-learning based framework that uses mobile sensor data to perform user-authentication. Apart from the raw sensor data itself, certain high-level aspects related to the user like the walking patterns, phone handling, daily life events, etc. would help identify the real user of the device. Depending on the duration of the internship, you might additionally have the opportunity to gain a first-hand experience of deploying the framework you develop, on a device (mobile phone) and evaluate real-time performance. Zighra transforms mobile sensor data into human-relatable intelligence, and hence this project sits at the heart of its technology.

Desired skills and expertise:

  • Strong background in math and an analytical mindset
  • Passion for solving challenging deep learning problems
  • Ability to quickly qualitatively and quantitatively assess a problem
  • Ability to work productively with team members, identify and resolve tough issues in a collaborative manner
  • Basic knowledge of Python and Tensorflow

Bonus Knowledge and Skills:

  • Being familiar with MySQL, MongoDB
  • Previous research experience in Machine Learning specifically anomaly detection is a big plus
