At Veriff, we are exploring the next frontier of identity verification: agentic AI systems that can reason, act, and operate safely in high-trust environments.

We are forming a small, high-leverage team to explore and productionize agentic capabilities across identity, KYA, risk assessment, and automation workflows.

We are looking for a Founding Engineer to help build this from the ground up.

You’ll help us protect honest people online by:

• Design and build agentic systems that can:
  • Use tools;
  • Reason across multi-step workflows;
  • Operate under strict compliance and safety constraints.
• Prototype and productionize LLM-powered workflows;
• Build internal evaluation frameworks for agent reliability;
• Define system architecture for scalable, secure AI services;
• Work closely with product, risk, and compliance teams;
• Turn ambiguous ideas into working systems.

You are the right future Veriffian for the job if you have:

Strong Systems Engineer

• 6+ years building backend systems in production
• Strong Python experience (FastAPI or similar)
• Experience with distributed systems and async workflows
• Deep understanding of system design and reliability

Agentic / LLM Experience

Hands on experience building:

• Tool using agents
• Multi step reasoning workflows
• Retrieval Augmented systems (RAG)
• Multi agent or orchestration systems

Experience with one or more:

• LangChain / LangGraph
• OpenAI Assistants or Responses API
• AutoGen
• CrewAI
• Semantic Kernel

You have shipped LLM-powered systems beyond experimentation.

Elements of Our Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js (TypeScript), Python, Golang
• Frontend: React (TypeScript)
• Mobile: Kotlin (Android), Swift (iOS), Dart (Flutter), TypeScript (React Native)
• Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform
• Data & ML: PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Python-based ML models

Nice to have:

• Experience in fraud, risk, compliance, or identity systems
• Experience building internal AI evaluation pipelines
• Familiarity with vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, etc)
• Experience operating in regulated environments

What Success Looks Like

• Reliable agentic workflows running in production
• Clear evaluation metrics for AI quality and safety
• Strong architectural foundations for scaling AI capabilities
• High quality technical documentation and system clarity

At Veriff, we verify identities at scale, helping businesses connect with honest people online. Our software verifies over 10,000 government-issued documents from more than 190 countries, and this is growing fast! These are millions of verified identities a year and countless people working behind the scenes to help make the lives of millions—and eventually billions—of people safer online. We are a force for good, and we want to be the standard for trust online.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will do more than write code—you will help architect scalable systems, mentor engineers, and drive business impact. We are looking for problem solvers like you to ensure this happens.

The Platform Area supports cross-domain business needs and processes through a common platform infrastructure. The development and evolution of the Veriff Platform are critical to our success. Our platform allows us to quickly adapt our technology to meet the rapidly evolving identity verification market needs and the strong appetite of our teams and customers to use innovative solutions to identify their customers and keep their communities safe. The Veriff platform is a technical area with lots of business and scalability challenges that are key to Veriff’s continuous success.

You’ll help us protect honest people online by:

• Build & Scale: Design high-performance, maintainable, and secure systems that handle millions of verifications.
• Lead & Mentor: Set the bar for technical excellence, sharing knowledge and guiding engineers.
• Innovate & Optimize: Improve automation, scalability, and reliability.
• Own & Deliver: Take responsibility for end-to-end development in collaboration with product and design.
• Solve with a Holistic Mindset: Apply curiosity, adaptability, and multi-skill problem-solving to technical challenges.

You are the right future Veriffian for the job if you have:

• Over 5 years of experience building large-scale applications
• Long-term experience in NodeJS using TypeScript
• Ownership experience of a specific component, feature, or system
• A proven track record in developing, debugging, and shipping software products on large code bases
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field
• The ability to inspire growth within teams by setting new standards

If you're passionate about coding, problem-solving, and contributing to Veriff's mission, we want to hear from you! Be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
