Founding Software Engineer - Agentic Systems

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.
