Fraud Strategy Leader

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. Our real-time APIs have helped verify hundreds of millions of identities, starting with financial services and rapidly expanding into new markets. Backed by world-class investors including Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin, we’ve earned recognition from TechCrunch, CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, and others. We were the first company to go live with the eCBSV and have testified before the United States House of Representatives on the future of identity.

SentiLink supports flexible work arrangements, ranging from fully remote to in-office, with physical offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Gurugram (Delhi), and Bengaluru. Some roles are hybrid or in-office by design, such as our engineering team in India, which works primarily from our Gurugram office.
