About this role.
Veriff is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the roadmap for its physical document identity-verification product. The role connects machine learning, data, operations, legal, product marketing, and enterprise customers to improve accuracy, document coverage, fraud detection, conversion, latency, and cost. The successful candidate will make technical product trade-offs involving model performance, human-in-the-loop workflows, and customer contract requirements. This is a senior, highly autonomous scale-up role requiring strong ML literacy, analytical capability, and credibility in detailed enterprise technical discussions.

Sample interview questions
I would quantify the impact by customer segment, document type, geography, and risk level, then compare fraud-loss reduction against conversion loss and operational cost. I would test threshold or workflow changes through controlled experiments, define guardrails for false rejects, and align the final decision with contractual commitments and customer risk tolerance.
Precision indicates how often positive decisions are correct, while recall indicates how much of the relevant population the system successfully identifies. Adjusting a threshold can reduce fraud leakage but may increase false rejections and lower conversion, so I would choose thresholds based on the intended risk, user-experience, and business outcomes.
I would segment the failure data by document version, country, capture device, image quality, model score, and workflow path. I would validate whether the issue is caused by input quality, extraction logic, model drift, a data-pipeline issue, or operational handling, then prioritize a mitigation such as routing changes, annotation, model retraining, or customer communication.
I would clearly explain the observed behavior, the scope of the issue, and the evidence available without overstating certainty. I would discuss the relevant trade-offs and immediate mitigations, document agreed success criteria, and provide a transparent follow-up plan with product, engineering, and operations owners.
I would treat operations feedback and adjudication outcomes as a core product-data source. Together, we would establish clear decision policies, measure reviewer consistency and turnaround time, identify high-value cases for annotation, and use the findings to improve both model evaluation and the end-to-end user workflow.
Physical document IDV is Veriff’s flagship product: how millions of people prove who they are to fintechs, marketplaces, mobility platforms, and government agencies. It’s fundamentally a machine learning system: document classification, data extraction, fraud and spoofing detection, coverage across thousands of document types and alphabets. Some versions also keep a human in the loop, so decision quality depends as much on operations as on models.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own this core domain. You will sit directly between two demanding groups: machine learning engineers building models, and enterprise customers asking hard questions about accuracy, latency, and edge-case failure modes. Your job is to translate complex technical trade-offs into business outcomes.
You’ll help us protect honest people online by:
- Owning the technical roadmap for physical document IDV — accuracy, coverage, fraud detection, conversion — and defending it across the company
- Partnering with data scientists and ML engineers on model and system trade-offs: framing the problem, defining what “better” means, focusing effort where it moves customer outcomes
- Trading off accuracy, conversion, latency, and cost against live enterprise contracts
- Being the voice of Veriff in complex customer calls: running technical deep-dives, answering detailed accuracy questions credibly, and knowing when to say we can’t do it yet
- Partnering with operations on the human-in-the-loop side of the product, and with our annotation teams on the data the models are trained and evaluated on
- Working across product marketing, legal and privacy, analytics, and go-to-market to launch, position, and scale what you build
You are the right future Veriffian for the job if you have:
- 4+ years of end-to-end B2B/B2B2C Product Management experience, ideally in identity, computer vision, fraud, or high-throughput ML systems.
- ML Fluency: You do not build models, but you speak fluent precision/recall, understand loss functions, and know how thresholds impact user conversion.
- Technical Independence: Ability to write queries, debug data pipelines, and conduct root-cause analysis without waiting for an analyst.
- Customer Credibility: Comfort having tough, highly technical conversations with enterprise clients when systems fail or trade-offs must be made.
- Experience thriving in a scale-up — high ambiguity, fast pace, changing priorities
- Fluent English, written and verbal
You’re an especially awesome match if you have:
- Experience in identity verification, document security, computer vision, or fraud
- Familiarity with regulated industries such as finance, mobility, or government tech
- Previous software engineering or data science experience
- A degree in a quantitative field
We care more about whether you can reason well about ML systems than how many years of your career have been spent inside one.
