We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All AudioEye recruiting email communications will always come from the @greenhouse.io domain or audioeye.com. Any outreach claiming to be from AudioEye via other sources should be ignored.

Don’t Meet Every Single Requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification. At AudioEye, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role and check some of the boxes in the job description in your past work history, we encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles!
