Join us where excitement meets innovation and contribute to a world where trust and technology unite.

Comprehensive Benefits: We provide a robust benefits package for full-time, permanent employees, including health, dental, and vision coverage, retirement plans with company match, paid time off, parental leave, and an annual education & training stipend (equivalent to $1,000 in local currency).

Flexible Hybrid Working Environment: Our offices are designed to support both collaboration and flexibility. Enjoy weekly lunches, quality coffee, and regular social events. Many locations also feature parent rooms, on-site gyms, comfortable lounges, and adaptable workstations to support your comfort and productivity.

Team members have access to wellness workshops and events, as well as a complimentary Headspace subscription to help you stay focused, grounded, and energized. Our ERGs provide an inclusive space, support and community for employees of diverse backgrounds and allies. We host informative, fun sessions and celebrations that are often open to the entire organization.

Trulioo is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the architecture and development of high-throughput, low-latency back-end services that power our Document and Biometric Verification platform. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Software Engineering, the Senior Software Engineer will design and operate distributed, event-driven microservices that orchestrate real-time identity verification - ingesting captured documents and biometric data,



coordinating ML inference and third-party vendor calls, and returning verification decisions at scale across multiple global regions. You will bridge the gap between developer-facing APIs, asynchronous processing pipelines, and the ML and infrastructure systems that sit behind them.

This role is expected to leverage AI and emerging technologies to improve productivity, enhance decision-making, and continuously optimize how work is performed. This will be a full-time, permanent position, ideally working out of the Vancouver office on a hybrid model (3-days per week in the office). However, we are open to remote arrangements for the right candidate.

API & Contract Design: Own the gRPC/Protobuf contracts that drive inter-service communication, and the REST/OpenAPI surfaces exposed to external clients, with versioning and backward-compatibility discipline. Event-Driven Pipelines: Build robust, high-throughput streaming pipelines on Apache Kafka - designing topics, consumers, and stream-processing topologies to process transaction lifecycle events and coordinate downstream verification steps.

Data & State Management: Model and optimize data access across distributed NoSQL databases, search/indexing systems, and caching layers; Performance & Reliability: tune coroutine concurrency, backpressure, and event-driven autoscaling across a wide range of load profiles.

Technical Leadership: Drive technical architecture, mentor engineers, and collaborate with Machine Learning, Infrastructure, and Product teams to deploy computer vision models and vendor integrations into production.

Leveraging AI: AI-Augmented Engineering: Use AI coding assistants and internal tooling to accelerate service design, implementation, testing, and code review across the microservices platform.

Intelligent Pipeline Optimization: Apply AI/ML-driven analysis (anomaly detection, log and metrics insight, capacity forecasting) to continuously tune verification-pipeline performance, throughput, and decision logic. 8+ years back-end/server software engineering experience delivering production-grade, distributed services or platforms. ~ JVM & Kotlin: Deep proficiency with Kotlin (or strong Java transitioning to Kotlin) and modern JVM concurrency, including Kotlin Coroutines and structured concurrency.



~ Microservices & APIs: Hands-on experience building service-oriented or microservice architectures with gRPC/Protobuf and/or REST, including API design, versioning, and inter-service communication patterns. ~ Demonstrated experience with event streaming and asynchronous messaging (Apache Kafka strongly preferred), including consumer scaling, exactly-once/idempotent processing, and failure handling. ~ Data Stores: Practical experience with distributed NoSQL databases, search/indexing systems, and caching strategies at scale. ~ Cloud Native: Comfortable operating services in a public cloud workplace on Kubernetes, with familiarity around containerization, service meshes, and infrastructure-as-code. ~ AI Expectations: ~ AI-Assisted Development: Hands-on daily use of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate design, implementation, testing, and code review. ~ Critical Evaluation: Ability to critically assess AI-generated code and outputs for correctness, security, and performance before it reaches production. ~ Applied AI/ML Literacy: Working understanding of how LLMs and ML models behave in production (latency, cost, failure modes) sufficient to reason about AI-driven components in a backend system. It’s a bonus if you have… ML Integration: Experience serving or integrating ML models into back-end services (e.g., Deep Java Library, PyTorch, ONNX, or TensorFlow) and orchestrating third-party vendor APIs.

DevOps/CI: Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerized builds, Helm-based Kubernetes deployments, and secrets management. Our process is designed to help us learn more about your skills and experience while giving you insight into our team, culture, and the impact of the work we do. You’re a valued member of our Trulicrew on a journey of professional and personal growth with a world-class organization.

With Trulioo, you have the power to revolutionize the intersection of technology, digital trust and online identity to open the global economy to everyone. Together, we can shape the digital future. Join us in shaping a future where your career isn’t just a journey but also a boundless exploration into the possibilities of technology and digital identity verification.
