About SentiLink

SentiLink provides innovative identity and risk solutions, empowering institutions and individuals to transact with confidence. We’re building the future of identity verification in the United States, replacing a clunky, ineffective, and expensive status quo with solutions that are 10x faster, smarter, and more accurate. We’ve seen tremendous traction and are growing extremely quickly. Our real-time APIs have helped verify hundreds of millions of identities, starting with financial services and rapidly expanding into new markets. SentiLink is backed by world-class investors including Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin. We’ve earned recognition from TechCrunch, CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, Business Insider, PYMNTS, American Banker, LendIt, and have been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 list every year since 2023. We were the first company to go live with the eCBSV and testified before the United States House of Representatives on the future of identity.

Work Environment

SentiLink supports a variety of ways to work, ranging from fully remote to in-office. We operate as a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India. We maintain physical offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India. If you’re located near one of these offices, we would love for you to spend time in the office regularly. Some roles are hybrid or in-office by design. For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.

Role Overview

SentiLink hires deeply curious, high-agency individuals who are obsessed with fraud, identity, and how systems are exploited. Rather than hiring for a single predefined role, this position is part of a shared hiring pipeline for candidates who bring strong domain interest in fraud and identity, along with the ability to apply that knowledge across product, analytics, operations, and go-to-market. During the recruiting process, we will work with you to identify where you can have the greatest impact based on your strengths, interests, and business needs.

Examples Of Roles You May Be Considered For Include:

• Product (fraud & identity-focused)

• AI-driven fraud detection & process design
• Customer-facing roles (e.g., working directly with clients to solve fraud challenges)
