## Description

### Why This Job Is Exciting

At Innovatrics, we equip you with the tools, context, and trust to thrive. You will have the unique opportunity to work on both sides of AI development: building the data foundations and actively testing model resilience and improving robustness against real-world fraud attempts.

You’ll be a key contributor to improving our Presentation Attack Detection (Liveness) system. This role goes beyond basic annotation — it requires structured thinking, technical capability, and creativity to help identify weaknesses and strengthen model performance.

You will work hands-on with data collection, dataset preparation, creative spoofing scenarios, and collaboration with AI/ML engineers to ensure our systems remain resilient against real-world fraud attempts.

_**In your first months, you’ll explore...**_

-   Gaining proficiency in internal data collection and annotation tools
-   Understanding international data quality standards and dataset requirements for AI model training
-   Working with various devices (smartphones, tablets, cameras) and operating systems for structured data acquisition
-   Learning practical spoofing techniques (photo attacks, screen replays, masks, lighting variations, etc.)
-   Performing structured data annotation and dataset validation
-   Supporting dataset organization and quality control processes

_**As you settle into the role, you’ll start contributing by...**_

-   Designing and executing structured spoofing experiments to evaluate model weaknesses
-   Creating small, high-impact datasets based on observed model vulnerabilities
-   Taking ownership of data collected by you — including annotation, validation, and structured organization
-   Using tools such as Photoshop, [Paint.NET](http://paint.net), AI-based tools or similar software for image preparation and dataset refinement
-   Troubleshooting technical issues within data collection workflows
-   Collaborating closely with AI/ML engineers to align datasets with model training needs
-   Developing basic to intermediate automation scripts (e.g., Python) to improve efficiency in repetitive data tasks

_**Within your first year, you’ll have the opportunity to...**_

-   Develop deeper expertise in Presentation Attack Detection and biometric AI workflows
-   Contribute structured insights into which attack vectors models are most vulnerable to
-   Improve collection and annotation processes through optimization and automation
-   Act as a reliable technical contributor within a small, high-impact team

### What You’ll Help Build

At Innovatrics, we build biometric technologies for elections, border control, digital ID, and secure onboarding in 80+ countries. Our algorithms have reached over a billion people. 

Your work directly affects how these systems perform in production environments. The datasets you prepare influence model accuracy, fraud resistance, and real-world reliability.

We operate in small, focused teams where contribution matters and impact is visible.

Join us if you're passionate about making a change in the results of critical, real-world AI applications in identity verification and biometrics.
