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.
