Staff Applied Research Engineer, Biometrics

Job description

The Biometric Solutions team at Veriff develops the biometric and liveness technologies that sit at the critical entry point of our automated identity verification funnel.: Having established a robust baseline using existing SOTA architectures, we are now entering the next stage of our roadmap - institutionalizing a high-velocity "Fast-Follower" engine. This phase is focused on radicalizing our adaptation speed—moving from academic breakthroughs to production-grade, proprietary models in weeks, not months. Your role will bridge the gap between theoretical computer vision research and production code that protects millions of users. You’ll help us enable Biometric innovation by: - Architecting the Research Pipeline: Building the infrastructure to reproduce and adapt SOTA papers within 4–6 week cycles, ensuring our models outpace the global fraud landscape. - Engineering Physics-Based Defenses: Developing "attack-agnostic" features—leveraging optical flow, specular reflection, and 3D geometry—to exploit immutable physical laws that attackers cannot easily circumvent. - Solving for Domain Heterogeneity: Implementing advanced Domain Adaptation and Generalization techniques to eliminate...
