Summary Generated by Built In

SentiLink stops more than 150,000 fraud attempts and verifies more than 3 million identities every day to protect both institutions and consumers. 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.

Role:

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.

Your pitch should answer:
  • What do you want to build at SentiLink?

  • Why do you think this would be compelling for SentiLink?

  • Why are you well-positioned to lead this?

  • What resources would you need to be successful?

What you’ll do:

If selected, you will take ownership of a high-impact product or business initiative and drive it from concept through execution. This may include:

  • Defining and validating new product opportunities

  • Translating ambiguous problems into clear product strategies

  • Leading cross-functional development across engineering, data, GTM, and operations

  • Owning product direction, execution, and outcomes

  • Partnering closely with leadership to prioritize and resource new initiatives

  • Building 0→1 products or scaling early-stage bets

This role is intentionally flexible, you may operate as a product leader, GM, or hybrid operator depending on the opportunity.

Examples of areas you might propose or lead:
  • New fraud or identity products

  • AI-driven product experiences or workflows

  • Expansion into new customer segments or verticals

  • Internal platform or tooling innovations

  • New GTM motions tied to product innovation

Who we’re looking for:

We’re looking for builders with deep experience in financial services, who are excited to move from identifying problems to building solutions.

You’re highly analytical, structured in your thinking, and able to break down ambiguous problems into clear opportunities. You’ve driven complex initiatives end-to-end, influenced stakeholders, and are comfortable using data to inform decisions.

You have strong product instincts: you can translate business problems into compelling product ideas and communicate them clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. You operate with high ownership, move quickly, and thrive in 0→1 environments.

Compensation:

$180,000 – $250,000 + equity + benefits

Note: Leveling and compensation will be determined based on experience, scope, and the nature of the opportunity defined through your pitch.

Perks:
  • Employer paid group health insurance for you and your dependents

  • 401(k) plan with employer match (or equivalent for non US-based roles)

  • Flexible paid time off

  • Regular company-wide in-person events

  • Home office stipend, and more!

Corporate Values:
  • Follow Through

  • Deep Understanding

  • Whatever It Takes

  • Do Something Smart

Skills Required

  • Experience in financial services
  • Strong analytical and structured thinking skills
  • Ability to communicate across technical and non-technical audiences
  • Proven track record of driving complex initiatives end-to-end

SentiLink Compensation & Benefits Highlights

  • Healthcare Strength — Healthcare is described as 100% employer‑paid for employees and dependents across medical, dental, and vision. This level of coverage is consistently positioned as a standout element of the package.
  • Retirement Support — Retirement benefits include a 401(k) with an employer match around 4%. This matching structure is regularly highlighted alongside core benefits.
  • Leave & Time Off Breadth — Time away is framed as flexible/unlimited PTO supplemented by sick days, holidays, wellness days, and a birthday day off. This breadth signals formal flexibility to take needed time.

What We Do

SentiLink is the leading fraud intelligence company, providing financial institutions and fintechs with purpose-built solutions for identity verification and fraud prevention. Our products detect synthetic fraud, identity theft, and hard-to-detect first-party fraud in real time — helping partners stop losses before they happen while approving more legitimate customers. Founded in 2017 by Naftali Harris and Max Blumenfeld, creators of the risk and fraud systems at Affirm, SentiLink was built on a simple premise: to truly stop fraud, you have to deeply understand it. That belief shapes everything, from the expert human intelligence that feeds our models to the way we work with our partners. We don't call them clients or customers, we call them partners, because that's genuinely how we think of them. Today, SentiLink processes 3M+ identity verifications per day for 500+ financial institutions, including 13 of the top 15 U.S. banks and 50+ fintech unicorns. We've raised $85M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Craft Ventures, and NYCA Partners.

Why Work With Us

At SentiLink, deep understanding isn't just a value, it's a company-wide expectation. For example, our Revenue Accounting Manager can walk you through SSN windows. That's not an exception; that's the norm. You'll collaborate closely, move fast, and do work that genuinely matters.
