About the role:

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Algorithm Engineer to join our AI team. You will work on cutting-edge research and development in deepfake detection, forgery analysis, and intelligent visual reasoning systems to power the next generation of identity verification solutions.

You will:

• Research and develop advanced algorithms to detect deepfake images/videos and document forgeries with high accuracy and robustness.
• Explore and integrate the latest AI/vision technologies.
• Build vision models capable of low-level visual reasoning to automate and strengthen identity verification workflows.
• Drive innovations in liveness detection, anomaly detection, and adversarial defense.
• Convert research into production-ready models with high efficiency and scalability.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deploy, monitor, and continuously improve AI models.
• Keep pace with state-of-the-art research, propose novel approaches, and publish/patent key findings when applicable.

• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or related fields.
• Strong expertise in deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), with hands-on model training and optimization experience.
• Solid background in computer vision (image/video analysis, multimodal learning).
• Experience in forgery/deepfake detection, texture-based analysis is a plus.
• Strong engineering skills: Python, model deployment, distributed training.
• Good understanding of adversarial attacks/defense and model robustness is a plus.
• Self-driven, curious, and able to translate research into practical applications.
