Hands-on experience building scalable, maintainable APIs
Proficiency in a range of testing strategies that ensure robust and reliable software
Solid understanding of relational database fundamentals

The role

Beneath a simple yet elegant user interface lies a complex system of functionalities. Our AI-powered product uses advanced image recognition, facial verification, face recognition, facial anti-spoofing (liveness detection), and behavior analysis to make identity decisions. We help our partners build onboarding processes that ensure good people get things done and bad folks get stopped.

To take our platform to the next level, we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Verification Platform team. This team owns the workflow orchestration engine and the automated verification decisioning pipeline that powers Veriff's core product - and that other product teams across Identity, Fraud, and End User Platform build on top of. Your work will directly determine the reliability, scalability, and capabilities of the flows that thousands of people go through every day.

What you'll do

Designing, building, and operating VP's backend services, including the orchestration engine and the automated decisioning pipeline, with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and maintainability
Delivering key orchestration features such as multi-method flow execution, branching and fallback logic, and webhook integrations
Improving the resilience of production-critical systems - backpressure and idempotency handling, backwards-compatibility testing, SPOF elimination, and end-to-end monitoring
Participating in on-call rotations, incident response, and postmortems to ensure our most critical flows stay healthy
Driving engineering quality through code reviews, CI practices, runbook documentation, and mentoring teammates

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.
