Machine Learning Research Engineer - Spain

Veriff helps companies all over the world connect with honest people. In a year, our team grew from 17 to 250+, and our software verifies over 9,000 government-issued documents from more than 190 countries. That's millions of verified identities a year and a lot of people working behind the scenes to help make the lives of millions, and one day billions, of people safer online.

Beneath a simple yet elegant user interface lies a complex system of functionalities. Our AI-powered product uses image recognition, facial comparison, and behaviour analysis to make decisions. We help our partners build onboarding processes that ensure good people get things done and bad folks get stopped. In order to take our product to the next level, we are looking for Machine Learning Research Engineers who will help us build ML systems that can perform previously impossible tasks or achieve unprecedented levels of performance (as a global benchmark, not just compared to the status quo in Veriff). 

You’ll help us protect honest people online by:

• Identifying areas of differentiation and innovation around AI-powered identity verification
• Researching and implementing highly scalable machine learning systems reaching state-of-the-art performance
• Demonstrating exceptional creativity to develop novel machine learning algorithms, models, and methods 
• Working both independently and collaboratively with other engineers and scientists to define and deliver high impact product features
