SentiLink provides innovative identity and risk solutions, empowering institutions and individuals to transact confidently with one another.
By building the future of identity verification in the United States and reinventing the currently clunky, ineffective, and expensive process, we believe strongly that the future will be 10x better.
We’ve had tremendous traction and are growing extremely quickly. Already our real-time APIs have helped verify hundreds of millions of identities, beginning with financial services. In 2021, we raised a $70M Series B round, led by Craft Ventures to rapidly scale our best in class products. We’ve earned coverage and awards from TechCrunch, CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, Business Insider, PYMNTS, American Banker, LendIt, and have landed on the Forbes Fintech 50 in 2023 and 2024. Last but not least, we’ve even been a part of history -- we were the first company to go live with the eCBSV and testified before the United States House of Representatives.
Role:
In this role, you will gather input from SentiLink executives, including the founders, and others in key customer-facing roles, on areas of fraud and risk unaddressed by our current suite of products, and then work with SentiLink technical teams to research and build solutions that help customers solve these problems. These solutions may be add-ons to existing products or entirely new ones. This is a hands-on role that will involve influencing the design of SentiLink’s products at all levels of the stack, working closely with SentiLink’s data scientists and engineers. Designing and building these solutions will require creativity, first-principles reasoning, and a willingness to get into the details. If successful, this role will directly lead to TAM expansion for SentiLink.
Given this role’s close collaboration with the data science and engineering teams; a strong candidate may have exceptional background in data science or engineering, but simply have an interest in taking their career in the product management direction without any prior experience - though if this is the case, the candidate still must show high potential as a product manager.

- Identify new areas of fraud and risk unaddressed by our current solutions
- Gather information from key SentiLink executives and customer to prioritize areas for further investigation

- Conduct further primary research into fraud and identity by Googling, talking to internal and external experts, and interviewing SentiLink customers
Requirements:
- 5 years experience as a Data Scientist or a Product Manager, with at least 2 of those years in a Data Science role
- Strong first principles reasoning ability, especially as applied to data science problems
- Experience in fraud, identity, financial services, risk, or lending is a plus
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must live in the United States
- Ability to work in-office from downtown San Francisco twice/week is a major plus
Salary Range:
- $160,000/year - $215,000/year + equity + benefits
- Employer paid group health insurance for you and your dependents
- 401(k) plan with employer match (or equivalent for non US-based roles)
