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. We have also been named a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner. Last but not least, we’ve even made history - 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.
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: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?
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
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.

SentiLink Insights
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.
