Senior Machine Learning Engineer - (Biometrics)

Jumio Corporation

Montreal, Quebec 100.000 - 130.000
Machine Learning Engineer – Biometrics (Computer Vision)

We’re looking for a Staff/Senior Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in computer vision and biometrics to lead the design and scaling of face recognition systems in production. You’ll build and train models, and own ML systems end-to-end on AWS. The final job level for this role will be determined following the interview process.

What You’ll Do

Lead the design and development of computer vision systems for biometrics (face attributes, detection, quality, and recognition)

Rigorous fairness analysis and benchmarking of biometric models across various datasets and operating conditions

Architect, train, and optimize models using PyTorch, Tensorflow, and/or JAX

Own and evolve end-to-end ML pipelines, from data ingestion to deployment. Design automated pipelines (Airflow) for data ingestion and cleaning. Curate balanced training sets and generate synthetic data to address quality and diversity gaps

Production Engineering: Own the path to production. Optimize models for low-latency inference (quantization, distillation, TensorRT/ONNX) and manage deployment on AWS

Mentor ML engineers, conduct code and design reviews, and drive technical best practices across the Computer Vision team

What We’re Looking For

Experience: 5+ years of industry experience in Machine Learning, with at least 3 years dedicated to Biometrics or Face Analysis

Deep expertise in computer vision and biometrics, especially face recognition

Fairness & Ethics: Understanding of sources of algorithmic bias in Computer Vision and practical experience measuring and mitigating disparate impact

Strong Engineering: Expert proficiency in Python (including machine learning and vision libraries such as Pillow, OpenCV, PyTorch, etc). Production‑ready, clean, modular code delivery

Systems Architecture: Experience designing end‑to‑end ML pipelines (Data to Train to Deploy) and working with workflow orchestrators like Airflow

Cloud Native: Hands‑on experience scaling training jobs on multi‑GPU clusters and deploying services on AWS (SageMaker, EC2, EKS)

Nice to Have

Research Publications: Papers in CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, or FG related to face recognition, image quality assessment, or fairness

Large Scale Search: Experience with vector databases (e.g., Milvus, Faiss) and approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search algorithms

Familiarity with privacy, security, and compliance in biometric systems

Mobile/Edge Experience: Experience porting models to edge or mobile devices utilizing frameworks such as CoreML, LiteRT, and/or TFLite

Synthetic Data: Experience using GANs or diffusion models to generate synthetic faces for training

Strong communication skills
