• Owning the end-to-end delivery of bioauth product features — including iOS, Android, and Web SDKs, backend services for face retrieval and matching at large-scale, and integration with ML models in production.
• Building and scaling high-performance infrastructure for biometric operations: face encoding storage, fast retrieval systems, matching pipelines, and real-time liveness verification.
• Partnering with Product leadership to define authentication strategy, influence technical architecture, and ensure go-to-market readiness.
• Driving initiatives that bring core biometric capabilities in-house, reducing third-party dependencies and increasing control over performance, cost, and innovation velocity.
• Collaborating with Data Science teams to productionize ML models — integrating face recognition, liveness detection, and anti-spoofing models into mobile and backend systems.
• Ensuring operational excellence: building robust monitoring, observability, performance optimization, and incident response practices across all systems.
