## About the role

In 1965, an engineer in Scotland was given a mundane task with a tricky problem to it - banks wanted to close on Saturdays and still serve customers, but they didn’t know how to solve authentication of the right user. James Goodfellow, working at Smiths Industries, uncovered the insight that you needed something you have (a card) and something you know (a PIN). Because someone told him they could only remember 4 digits instead of his proposed 6, today over 3 million ATMs use a card+4 digit PIN over 60 years later. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
