What the job involves

We are seeking a Data Scientist II with strong experience in computer vision and deep learning to join our document verification team
This role is intended for an experienced individual contributor who can work independently on production ML models, own well-scoped modeling initiatives, and contribute to technical decision-making—while partnering closely with senior data scientists and engineers
You will help build and improve ML systems that analyze identity and document images at scale and play an active role in evolving our modeling approaches and infrastructure
Develop, maintain, and improve machine learning models for document verification use cases such as document classification, image quality assessment, field extraction, and fraud detection
Independently implement and evaluate deep learning architectures, including CNNs and transformer-based vision or multimodal models.
Own well-defined components of end-to-end ML pipelines, including data preparation, model training, evaluation, and deployment to production
Perform in-depth error analysis, model diagnostics, and performance optimization, and propose data- or model-driven improvements
Contribute to technical design discussions, code reviews, and modeling best practices across the team
Write production-quality, maintainable code and contribute to shared ML tooling and infrastructure
Collaborate with engineering and product partners to ensure models meet product, performance, and reliability requirements

Our take

Socure is an identity platform that aims to improve customer identification for digital transactions. The company is part of a growing market, with rivals in this competitive space including Signifyd, Riskified, AppsFlyer, ClearSale, Kount, SEON, and Fraud Fighters.

The engine delivered by Socure encompasses Know Your Customer (KYC), identity fraud detection, and document verification. With it, companies can scale rapidly by onboarding more good customers and preventing online fraud. Additionally, underbanked consumers who have been excluded from online services by outdated ID verification can gain access to critical benefits and services online.

Socure has rapidly escalated in popularity and reached a valuation well over $1 billion. Though not immune from the economic downturn of late, which resulted in two high-profile rounds of lay-offs, the company has secured considerable additional funds that will strengthen its financial position as it moves to capitalise on the ever-growing importance of identity verification and trust.
