Who we are

About Privy

Our mission is to make privacy and user ownership the default online. We build simple, flexible developer tooling that make it easy to build products that put users first. By leveraging modern cryptography, we shift the status quo around digital ownership and protect the accounts and assets of millions of users.

Engineering at Privy is not just about writing world-class code. We create software that turns complex technical systems into delightful developer tools. We assemble tried-and-true primitives into intuitive, responsive APIs and beautiful interfaces. We believe in open-source work and transparency with our teammates and users. We encourage each other to think big, run experiments and follow our curiosity so we can build better tooling that lets developers shine and empower their users.
