About

ABOUT ELLEN 💁🏻‍♀️ I’m Ellen, a Senior Technical Recruiter at Fingerprint. I’ve spent the last decade in the trenches of tech recruiting - splitting my time between fast-paced agency work and the last five years scaling in-house SaaS teams. Because of that, my focus isn't just on top-line growth; it's about the long-term health of the organization. I specialize in building out entire Product and Engineering ecosystems. I love the challenge of finding people who don't just fit a job description, but actually help define the culture and solve the complex puzzles that keep us moving forward. ABOUT FINGERPRINT 🫆 Fingerprint helps companies reliably identify and recognize devices and browsers so they can make better decisions around trust, fraud, and abuse. By collecting and analyzing browser and device signals in real time, Fingerprint enables customers to detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and protect legitimate users.
