Biometric Algorithm & SDK Engineer (Contactless Fingerprint Recognition)
United States
Full-time
Remote
Senior LevelOntrac Solutions is seeking an expert in biometric recognition and computer vision to develop a proprietary contactless fingerprint recognition SDK. The role involves architecting and delivering technology that transforms raw images into standards-compliant fingerprint templates for verification by government or enterprise APIs.
Information Technology & Services
Responsibilities
Fingerprint Template Generation: Develop algorithms to extract usable fingerprint templates from camera-based fingerphotos
Image Processing Pipeline: Implement preprocessing (segmentation, enhancement, normalization) to make captures usable across lighting, angles, and devices
Liveness Detection: Integrate Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) to prevent spoofing, aligned with ISO/IEC 30107-3
Standards Compliance: Ensure outputs meet ISO/IEC 19794-2, ANSI/NIST ITL, WSQ formats so they can be recognized by government/enterprise systems
SDK/API Delivery: Package the solution into a developer-friendly SDK or API with full documentation, sample code, and integration support
Performance & Benchmarking: Test against NIST/NFIQ 2 quality scores and benchmark accuracy, latency, and robustness in real-world conditions
Integration Support: Work with mobile developers to integrate into iOS/Android apps and with backend teams for API submission
Qualification
Required
Proven experience building fingerprint or palm recognition algorithms (minutiae extraction, ridge analysis, template generation)
Strong background in computer vision and image processing (segmentation, denoising, feature extraction)
Hands-on with OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, CUDA, and mobile deployment (TensorFlow Lite, Core ML)
Familiar with biometric standards: ISO/IEC 19794-2, ANSI/NIST ITL, WSQ compression, NFIQ 2 image quality
Knowledge of liveness detection / PAD (ISO/IEC 30107-3)
Track record of building SDKs/APIs with developer documentation and integration support
Preferred
Experience working with secure systems (root of trust, data encryption, secure provisioning) is a plus
Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or related field preferred
