Senior Backend Engineer - Annotation Tools

About Veriff

Veriff protects businesses and their customers from online identity fraud. We check people and documents from more than 190 countries, using technology so advanced it feels like aliens built it. All in all, we’re building the infrastructure of trust for the internet.

Our AI-based product uses computer vision, face comparison, and behavior analysis to make decisions. We help our partners build onboarding processes that ensure good people get things done and bad folks get stopped.

Position

As a Senior Engineer, we expect you to influence and guide your peers to the next level in solving complex challenges, help untangle problems for the team and groom complicated features to a level where implementation becomes clear for your teammates. We want you to see the forest, not just the trees, and to be able to formalize plans and coordinate bigger initiatives. You will be working closely with our stakeholders to build the best possible tooling that makes the verification process fast, accurate, and reliable.

You’ll help us protect honest people online by:

• Writing high-quality, maintainable, tested, and efficient code with TypeScript, Python, and GraphQL
• Doing (and receiving) code reviews and providing feedback to your peers
• Identifying and advocating the use of new technologies, libraries, tools, and best practices in the team and across Veriff
• Contributing to the tools that other engineers at Veriff use, like our logging library, GraphQL framework, etc
• Collaborating with other engineers both inside and outside the team to find solutions to complex problems

Your qualification

Our main back-end language is TypeScript, but you will need to write some code in Python from time to time. Also, we are actively using GraphQL, therefore previous experience with it at scale is a huge plus.

We expect you to have:

• Long-term experience with JavaScript and TypeScript
• Proficiency in microservices, database design, PostgreSQL, and CI/CD
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, GraphQL, and RabbitMQ is a great plus
• Good command of English and great communication skills
• High level of self-organization, ownership, and responsibility
