Decentralized identity platform with privacy-by-design for data ownership
Affinidi builds developer tools for decentralized identity and personal data control, with a stack spanning TypeScript, React, Rust, and Java. The company is actively adopting W3C and MCP standards while scaling toward high-performance, multi-region systems—reflected in their engineering-heavy hiring (28 of 31 active roles) concentrated at senior and staff levels. Projects center on open standards implementation and AI agent identity specs, suggesting a shift from consumer-facing identity toward protocol-first infrastructure for autonomous systems.
Affinidi is a Singapore-based identity and data-ownership platform founded in 2020, operating at 201–500 employees with engineering hubs in Bangalore and Berlin. The product suite (Affinidi Elements) enables secure, decentralized management and monetization of personal data through a privacy-by-design architecture. The company targets developers and enterprises building trust networks in regulated industries, with recent GTM focus on the United States. Core technical challenges center on interoperability between decentralized systems, performance optimization at scale, and compliance with emerging privacy and identity standards.
TypeScript, React, JavaScript, Node.js for frontend and runtime; Rust, Go, Java, and C# for backend services. Currently adopting W3C and MCP for standards alignment.
