About Nametag
What is Nametag?
Nametag sells identity verification software for the workforce. Its home page says "Nametag combines cryptography, biometrics, and AI to verify the real person behind high-risk account actions and cover critical security gaps in Identity & Access Management (IAM)." The company's solution pages cover hiring, onboarding, self-service account recovery, helpdesk verification and agentic AI security. On the helpdesk page it says "Agents verify users in just a few clicks from our turnkey console or inside your ITSM platform." Its home page lists integrations with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Duo by Cisco, Cloudflare, ServiceNow, Beyond Identity, Greenhouse, OneLogin, Zendesk and Workday, and a customer quote on its about page comes from the CISO and SVP Engineering of HubSpot. The home page also carries the line "Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification". The about page names Aaron Painter as CEO ("Before co-founding Nametag, he spent 14 years at Microsoft in senior leadership roles around the world.") and Ross Kinder as CTO. Nametag, Inc. is, per its terms of service, "a Delaware corporation". None of the company pages and adverts read on 13 November 2026 states when it was founded, how many people it employs or how much funding it has raised, so those facts are left out. The name is shared with other businesses, but the Greenhouse adverts describe this company in their own words: "Nametag is a category leader in identity verification, security, and account protection."
Where will I work?
Nametag describes itself as remote-first. Its careers page says "We are building a world-class, remote-first culture and we believe super-talented people can contribute from anywhere." Headquarters are in Seattle: "Our HQ is in Seattle and we have an office in the hip Capitol Hill neighborhood", and the terms of service give the address as 520 E Denny Way, Seattle, WA 98122. The careers page adds "We currently have offices in Seattle, Ann Arbor, and New York City." On 13 November 2026 the Greenhouse board listed 15 adverts. Fourteen are remote roles for people in the United States (twelve of them say "Remote-first: Work from anywhere in the US."), and one is hybrid: the Engineering Operations and Chief of Staff role is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, "in the office together at least one day a week". None is office-only. The Greenhouse office tag reads Remote on all 15, and the board's location labels are Remote (10), United States (2), Austin/Boston/San Francisco (2, although those two adverts say "Remote, US") and Ann Arbor (1). Seven adverts require applicants to be legally authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship, and every advert is for a US-based team (each carries one of "Remote, US", "Remote (U.S.)", "US-based team", the US work-authorization rule or an Ann Arbor office), so these roles are not open worldwide. The company brings people together in person: "Off-sites: We bring the team together once per quarter for in-person collaboration, often off-site in new places."
What is the Nametag team like?
The careers page says the team is "made up of people from different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences working together in an inclusive environment", and of its remote setup that "There are no water cooler conversations for a selected few, everyone has a voice." The adverts describe values such as "Intellectual horsepower", "Kindness and integrity", "Bias for action" and an "Ownership mindset". The 15 open roles are spread over Sales (5), Customer Success (3), Engineering (4), Marketing (2) and People (1). One advert says the company is "a founding member of the Open Imperative and is committed to pay equity in technology." Two adverts call the company AI-forward. The careers page says the company is moving "from a stealth startup to a well-known brand" and adds "As with many early stage companies, there is an immense opportunity to learn and have impact as we grow."
Work-Life Balance
The company states its working-pattern policy as a perk in its adverts: "Flexible schedules: Work in your own time zone; we align key meetings across a shared window." That line appears in 12 of the 15 adverts, in Sales, Customer Success, Engineering, Marketing and People, and 14 of the 15 mention "flexible schedules" in some form (one Customer Success advert says "Flexible paid time off and flexible schedules"). The careers page backs the time-zone half of it: "Everyone works on their own time zone, and we align team meetings on a common time that works for all." No page or advert states weekly hours, start and finish times, or the hours of the shared meeting window, so this is a flexible schedule built around one common meeting time rather than a stated flexitime scheme. Time off is described as "Flexible paid time off" in 14 of the 15 adverts (the Technical Customer Engineer advert says "Flexible time off policies") and "Flexible time off policies" on the careers page, with no number of days given. The team meets in person at least once per quarter, and "Travel and meetings will be pre-arranged." The adverts' value statements include "We move quickly to deliver impact and protect our customers against fast-moving threats." The Engineering Manager advert includes on-call and incident response for the team's systems, and five adverts (sales, channel and customer success) quote variable pay as on-target earnings or a base/variable split. No advert mentions long hours, weekends, evenings or after-hours work.
