At Veriff, we are exploring the next frontier of identity verification: agentic AI systems that can reason, act, and operate safely in high-trust environments.

- Prototype and productionize LLM-powered workflows;
- Build internal evaluation frameworks for agent reliability;
- Define system architecture for scalable, secure AI services;
- Work closely with product, risk, and compliance teams;
- Turn ambiguous ideas into working systems.
