About the Team
You'll be joining the team leading Entrust's Identity portfolio, formerly known as Onfido (an AI-powered digital identity solution). Our technology helps businesses verify real identities using machine learning, ensuring secure remote customer onboarding. By assessing government-issued identity documents and facial biometrics using state-of-the-art machine learning, we provide companies with the assurance they need to operate securely while allowing people to access services quickly and safely.
Our Applied Scientist team consists of about twenty machine learning scientists. The team is supported by an ML Ops team that provides state-of-the-art tooling (including AWS, Encord, Ray, PyTorch Lightning and Weights & Biases). The Applied Science team works closely with product engineering to deploy models to serve our worldwide customer base.
Position Overview
We are looking for an Applied Scientist II to design and train cutting-edge machine learning solutions related to digital identities. Join our team and work on challenging problems in deepfake detection, bias mitigation, document understanding, anomaly detection and/or efficient ML.
What you will be doing
- Push the frontier of research in areas such as deepfake detection, bias mitigation, fraud/anomaly detection, face matching, document understanding, and efficient on-device ML.
- Publish research results in national and international conferences and scientific journals.
- Work with product and engineering to improve our world-class identity-focused products.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Representative work
- Implement bias-mitigation strategies to build fair face-matching and deepfake-detection models.
- Train and benchmark large-scale vision-language models for document extraction.
- Train a multi-modal document understanding model from scratch using synthetic data.
- Optimise LoRA adapter latency in PEFT/Triton.
- Profile, debug and improve model training speed on multiple GPUs.
- Create a large-scale dataset for deepfake detection.
- Experiment with multimodal models to detect fraud.
You may be a good fit if you
- Have strong experience in machine learning and computer vision.
- Have a strong record of successfully delivering high-performance ML-driven products.
- Have a deep understanding of machine learning theory.
- Have strong coding skills in Python and PyTorch.
