[High Growth/Global Startup] Operation Manager

🌍 About Hopae

At Hopae , we're building the world's most trusted digital identity platform — private, secure, and built for real life. We believe identity should be in your control — not locked behind outdated systems or centralized gatekeepers.

Our product, Hopae Connect, lets businesses verify real people across borders through a single API — no need to build country-by-country integrations themselves. Our technology powers instant, privacy-first verification across fintech, credentials, supply chain, and gaming — for IDV providers, e-signature platforms, and enterprises who need identity to just work, everywhere.

Backed by top global investors, Hopae operates across Seoul, Paris, Luxembourg, and San Francisco , bringing together exceptional talent from over 10 nationalities. We move fast, think globally, and build products that define the future of identity.

You can navigate ambiguity — you don't wait for perfect information to start building
