Senior AI Innovation Engineer

🚀 Why This Job Is ExcitingAt Innovatrics, we equip you with the tools, context, and trust to thrive. Our opportunity-driven roadmap highlights how you can grow, contribute, and make a meaningful impact throughout your journey with us.

We’re hiring for our Innovation team, which explores new biometric ideas and turns validated concepts into production-ready algorithms. In your first months, you’ll explore... • Our biometric products and research focus areas, including palm-based use cases, face morphing detection, and revocable biometrics • How the Innovation team operates, what defines a valuable proof of concept, and how ideas move from exploration to internal adoption • Existing prototypes, datasets, evaluation approaches, and the constraints that shape applied research work, including limited or imperfect data

As you settle into the role, you’ll start contributing by... • Proposing approaches to ambiguous problems and validating them through research and experimentation • Building proof of concepts that help teams and leaders make informed technical and product decisions • Collaborating with Software Engineers who package prototypes into demos, while you own the ML core, evaluation logic, and research outcomes

Within your first year, you’ll have the opportunity to... • Own end-to-end exploration streams, from idea framing to demo delivery • Influence which research directions become strategic bets for Innovatrics • Take on technical leadership on selected initiatives, including mentoring and setting standards for ML experimentation and quality

🧠 What You’ll Help BuildAt Innovatrics, we build biometric technologies for elections, border control, digital ID, and secure onboarding in 80+ countries. Our algorithms have reached over a billion people. Your work here won’t get lost in a backlog. It will shape real-world systems that matter. We’re a small team, so ideas move fast-from concept to demo in short cycles. Join us if you’re motivated by applied research, practical experimentation, and solving problems where the solution isn’t obvious from the start.

🌍 Working Hours & LocationWe prefer candidates based in Bratislava or Brno, where our core R&D teams are located. We are also open to Europe-based candidates, with the expectation of regular travel to HQ. What this means in practice: roughly 15–20% onsite, typically clustered around demos or close collaboration phases.
