Working fully remotely, the specialist will collaborate with cybersecurity, engineering, product, data science, identity management, and compliance teams to improve biometric authentication capabilities across digital platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and evaluate biometric authentication performance across facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, and other supported biometric modalities.
• Analyze key performance indicators, including false acceptance rate (FAR), false rejection rate (FRR), equal error rate (EER), genuine acceptance rate, verification latency, and transaction success rates.
• Assess biometric verification workflows and identify factors affecting authentication accuracy, reliability, accessibility, and user experience.
• Analyze authentication logs, system metrics, verification outcomes, and performance trends to identify anomalies and recurring issues.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of liveness detection, presentation attack detection, and anti-spoofing controls using approved test results and technical evidence.
• Support performance benchmarking, controlled testing, and comparative assessments of biometric algorithms and authentication solutions.
• Investigate authentication failures, elevated rejection rates, latency issues, and inconsistencies across devices, environments, and user groups.
• Collaborate with engineering and data science teams to recommend improvements to algorithm performance, system configuration, integration workflows, and authentication policies.
• Review biometric system integrations with identity management platforms, access control systems, mobile applications, and digital onboarding solutions.
• Assess performance impacts associated with image quality, sensor characteristics, environmental conditions, demographic variation, and device compatibility.
• Prepare technical performance reports, trend analyses, dashboards, and recommendations for management and technical stakeholders.
• Support quality assurance activities, acceptance testing, regression testing, and performance validation for biometric system updates.
• Review vendor performance reports, technical specifications, service-level metrics, and system improvement proposals.
• Maintain technical documentation, testing evidence, performance baselines, and issue resolution records.
• Support privacy, security, and compliance assessments relating to biometric data processing, retention, access controls, and system monitoring.
• Recommend continuous improvements to authentication performance, operational resilience, and user verification processes.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, Data Science, Biometrics, or a related discipline.
• Significant experience in biometric authentication, identity verification, authentication performance analysis, or cybersecurity engineering.
• Strong understanding of biometric technologies, including facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, voice biometrics, and multimodal authentication.
• Practical knowledge of biometric performance metrics, including FAR, FRR, EER, verification accuracy, and authentication latency.
• Experience analyzing authentication logs, system telemetry, test results, and performance datasets.
• Familiarity with liveness detection, presentation attack detection, anti-spoofing technologies, and identity assurance controls.
• Understanding of authentication protocols, identity and access management, API integrations, and secure digital verification workflows.
• Experience with data analysis tools, performance monitoring platforms, scripting languages, and technical reporting applications.
• Knowledge of biometric standards, information security principles, privacy requirements, and relevant data protection frameworks.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, statistical evaluation, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to engineering teams, management, and non-technical stakeholders.
• High standards of confidentiality, accuracy, ethical data handling, and professional judgment.
• Ability to manage multiple technical priorities independently in a fully remote working environment.

What We Offer

• A fully remote, work-from-home position.
• Competitive compensation based on qualifications and relevant experience.
• Opportunities to work with advanced biometric authentication and digital identity technologies.
• Exposure to authentication performance engineering, cybersecurity, and identity verification systems.
• Professional development and opportunities to strengthen technical and analytical expertise.
• A collaborative environment focused on innovation, security, reliability, and continuous improvement.
