Job description

$360,000 – $420,000 + equity

U.S. Security Clearance Required (U.S. Citizenship Mandatory)

We are building a privacy-first, on-device multimodal biometric identity platform that is replacing standalone facial recognition at TSA checkpoints while expanding into government, mobile voting, and banking programs across Asia, Africa, and beyond — with over 32 active sovereign and institutional clients.

Pre-IPO equity with options available, vesting begins on the one-year anniversary.

We’re looking for exceptional engineers from Apple (or equivalent) who have shipped advanced on-device ML, camera systems, or secure identity features and want to work on one of the most technically ambitious biometric platforms in the world.

You will own:
  • Core multimodal biometric engine (3D vascular + face) with six-layer Presentation Attack Detection
  • Real-time on-device inference, score-fusion models, and ONNX optimization
  • High-performance camera pipelines and liveness systems
  • End-to-end privacy architecture with zero biometric egress
Ideal background:
  • Staff-level experience at Apple or similar (on-device ML, computer vision, or secure systems)
  • Deep expertise in mobile ML deployment and performance tuning
  • Obsession with privacy, security, and attack resistance
  • Experience with patents or highly regulated environments (biometrics, identity, aviation security) is highly valued. Familiarity with the company’s U.S. Patents (10,135,822; 10,547,611; 10,721,228; 10,880,303; 11,277,405; 11,368,455; and 11,374,929 and pending) is a plus.
  • U.S. Citizen able to obtain security clearance
