SentiLink helps institutions and protects customers by accurately resolving identities and flagging fraud risk. Each day, we verify more than 3 million identities, flagging 150k+ fraud attempts in the process. The problems we work on are challenging, and solving them takes deep domain expertise, rigorous analysis, and a willingness to dig into the details.
At SentiLink, you'll work alongside smart, highly collaborative colleagues who respect each other's time and judgment, take ownership, and follow through on their commitments. Together, we do truly meaningful work protecting the identities of innocent consumers and flagging the fraudsters attempting to exploit them.
We're well capitalized and growing quickly. We already serve 13 of the top 15 U.S. banks, we're expanding into new markets, and we're backed by Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin. We've been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 and as a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner. We were also the first company to go live with the electronic Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (eCBSV) service, and we've testified before the U.S. Congress on the future of identity.
We want SentiLink to be the best place you've ever worked. We offer generous benefits and support a range of working arrangements, from fully remote to in-office. We are a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India, and we meet in person regularly to build relationships. We have offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle (Bellevue), Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India.
SentiLink is looking for high-agency builders who don’t just want to join a role, they want to define one.
This is an open-ended, product-oriented hiring track for individuals who see an opportunity at SentiLink and want to pitch it. Rather than hiring into a predefined role, we are looking for people who can identify high-impact opportunities, articulate why they matter, and lead them from idea to execution.
As part of the process, you will be asked to propose a product, initiative, or new area of investment for SentiLink. We’re looking for candidates who combine strong product thinking, business acumen, and execution ability.
During the recruiting process, we will work with you to identify a product role where you can have the greatest impact based on your pitch, strengths and interests, as well as business needs.

Leading cross-functional development across engineering, data, GTM, and operations
Owning product direction, execution, and outcomes
