The role

At Veriff's Biometric Solutions team, we are trying to prove, in real time, that the person on the other side of the screen is real and who they claim to be. Our ML-powered platform uses advanced image recognition, facial verification, face recognition, facial anti-spoofing (liveness detection), and behavior analysis to make identity decisions.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our real-time verification services, with security, scalability, and maintainability at the core.

You'll help us protect honest people online by:

What you'll do

Owning the design and evolution of the architecture for a strategically critical product area, making the calls that shape scalability, security, and maintainability for years
Leading transformational architecture work: real-time matching at scale, resilient event-driven services, and the CI/CD and observability foundations that make them dependable
Setting and raising engineering standards, and mentoring and growing the engineers around you
Partnering closely with other engineers, ML data scientists, and specialists to turn complex identity problems into working products, and driving cross-functional alignment with product and dependency teams
Building scalable, maintainable APIs and event-driven services that other teams and external customers depend on

Hiring process

A mostly standard process that can differ a little by position; interviews are in the office or by video, and the whole thing takes between one and six weeks

The recruiter keeps candidates updated at every stage.
Cover letters are optional unless the advert asks for one.
