Engineering Manager (Biometric Solutions)

At Veriff, we’re building the foundational trust layer of the internet — and biometric authentication is central to that mission. This team isn’t just shipping features; it’s shaping the future of digital identity to make it safer, faster, and more reliable. We’re guided by metrics like authentication speed, accuracy, system availability, user satisfaction, and real-world impact against emerging threats.

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Biometric Solutions team — the group driving Veriff’s shift from one-time identity checks to continuous biometric authentication. This team builds the intelligence and infrastructure behind real-time biometric and liveness verification, forming the backbone of our trust platform.

You’ll lead a high-performing team working across computer vision, machine learning, user experience, and regulatory requirements. In close collaboration with product, ML platform, fraud prevention, and legal teams, you’ll help ensure Veriff stays secure, responsive, and future-proof against increasingly sophisticated virtual identity threats.

Join us if you’re ready to tackle deep technical challenges, shape how users interact with biometric systems, and help Veriff become the trust authority for the digital age.

You’ll help us protect honest people online by:

• Leading, growing, and developing a high-performing engineering team responsible for core biometric infrastructure, including authentication and liveness detection.
• Defining the team’s structure and evolution as it doubles in size, introducing clear processes and scalable execution practices.
• Owning the end-to-end delivery of biometric products — from model training to SDK integrations and user experience — ensuring performance, scalability, and regulatory compliance from ideation to measurable outcomes.
• Partnering with product leadership to define and execute strategy, influencing roadmap, technical architecture, and go-to-market readiness.
• Driving initiatives that bring core biometric IP in-house, reducing third-party dependencies and increasing control over performance and innovation.
• Ensuring operational excellence, observability, and robustness across all systems under your team’s ownership.
• Building a team culture centered on trust, technical curiosity, and high-quality execution.
• Contributing to Veriff’s global security posture by future-proofing our defences against spoofing, deepfakes, and generative AI–based attacks.
• Mentoring engineers and engineering leads, providing feedback and support for long-term growth.
