The Biometric Systems Lead owns how iProov's biometric platform evolves, from research and prototyping through to production. Reporting to the VP, Biometric Operations, you'll lead the Biometric Systems function; scoping and delivering new systems, improving existing ones, and making sure they hold up against the measures that matter (precision, recall, bias, speed, cost and robustness). Bias detection sits with you, alongside the feedback-code work that shapes how real people interact with the technology, and the customer-specific features that arrive as awkward problems and need turning into workable solutions.
It's a varied, cross-functional role, spanning Biometric Operations, Product, Research and CSI, with a longer-term roadmap to build and a team to mentor. We're hiring first for collaboration, communication and mentoring, technical enough to earn the team's trust, and dependable enough that you can be handed a problem and trusted to come back with a solution.
How you can make an impact
- Work with the Biometric Operations
- Scoping of work items
- Metrics for project success
- Ensure work stays on track, and be aware of key design decisions that are being made
- Raise key decisions, and risks to project delivery to the Head of Biometric Platform and Product
- Ensure systems are effective, and meet expectations (Precision, recall, bias, speed)
