Salary

💰 $135,000 - $171,000 per year

About the role

  • Build, train, and ship ML models for identity verification use cases such as biometric matching, liveness / anti-spoofing, identity document processing (OCR/extraction), and fraud detection (team assignment based on experience).
  • Prepare large, noisy datasets: ingestion, validation, cleaning, deduplication, labeling strategy, and dataset QA to improve model performance and reliability.
  • Design experiments, evaluation protocols, and success metrics (offline and online), iterate based on measurable business impact (detection rates, fraud losses, false positives).
  • Develop production-grade training and inference pipelines on AWS with strong reproducibility, monitoring, and cost controls.
  • Productionize models as resilient services and libraries in Python; collaborate with platform teams on APIs, latency and observability.
  • Contribute to the transformation of our IDV engine: modernizing legacy components, improving modularity, and raising quality, performance, and maintainability.
  • Work closely with Product, Customer Success, and Platform Engineering teams to ensure ML solutions meet privacy, compliance, and reliability requirements.
  • Support other engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and knowledge sharing; help raise the technical bar across the team.

Requirements

  • Bachelors degree in computer science or related field paired with knowledge, skills and abilities typically gained from 2-5 years of experience in applied machine learning / ML engineering with strong software engineering fundamentals (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
  • Strong Python skills and experience building production ready code.
  • Demonstrated experience solving computer vision tasks with ML models utilizing PyTorch or Tensorflow.
  • Strong computer vision background, including experience with CNNs, vision transformers, and foundation models.
  • Proven ability to work with large datasets and build reliable data preprocessing/feature engineering pipelines; comfort with distributed data tooling is a plus.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and operations stakeholders.
Benefits
  • Wellness: Universal, supplemental, and private healthcare plan choices based on country specifics
  • Financial future: retirement/pension plan contributions, MTK stock plan participation
  • Income protection: life event & disability coverage
  • Paid time off: generous annual leave, company holidays, volunteer time off
  • Learning: e-learning license, tuition reimbursement, hackathons
  • Home office setup allowance
  • Additional/optional benefits: pet insurance, identity theft protection, legal assistance
