What the job involves

This internship offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of Document Verification (DocV), Digital Intelligence (DI), fraud detection, and behavioral analytics
The core focus is on exploring how behavioral and device signals—such as interaction timing, motion data, and environmental context—can be leveraged to better understand user sessions and strengthen fraud detection systems
The successful intern will evaluate, prototype, and demonstrate how these signals can improve decisioning accuracy, enhance system robustness, and be integrated into DocV and RiskOS workflows
You will not just observe; you will build, analyze, and deliver a portfolio-ready prototype that informs future detection and risk capabilities
Data Instrumentation & Collection - Instrument code to collect behavioral and device signals. Deliver a clean, structured dataset
Signal Analysis & Feature Engineering - Analyze data and engineer features. Deliver analysis showing signal impact
Detection Prototyping - Develop detection or scoring logic. Deliver a working proof-of-concept with metrics
Integration & Documentation - Map integration points and document findings. Deliver technical documentation and presentation

Our take

Socure is an identity platform that aims to improve customer identification for digital transactions. The company is part of a growing market, with rivals in this competitive space including Signifyd, Riskified, AppsFlyer, ClearSale, Kount, SEON, and Fraud Fighters.

The engine delivered by Socure encompasses Know Your Customer (KYC), identity fraud detection, and document verification. With it, companies can scale rapidly by onboarding more good customers and preventing online fraud. Additionally, underbanked consumers who have been excluded from online services by outdated ID verification can gain access to critical benefits and services online.

Socure has rapidly escalated in popularity and reached a valuation well over $1 billion. Though not immune from the economic downturn of late, which resulted in two high-profile rounds of lay-offs, the company has secured considerable additional funds that will strengthen its financial position as it moves to capitalise on the ever-growing importance of identity verification and trust.
