Job description

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.

SentiLink is backed by world‑class investors including Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin.

SentiLink supports a variety of ways to work, ranging from fully remote to in‑office. The company operates as a digital‑first organization with collaboration across the U.S. and India, maintaining offices in multiple U.S. and Indian cities.

Role

SentiLink is looking for high‑agency builders who don’t just want to join a role – they want to define one.

This open‑ended, product‑oriented hiring track invites individuals who see an opportunity at SentiLink and want to pitch it. Rather than hiring into a predefined role, we seek people who can identify high‑impact opportunities, articulate why they matter, and lead them from idea to execution.

As part of the process, candidates will be asked to propose a product, initiative, or new area of investment for SentiLink, demonstrating strong product thinking, business acumen, and execution ability.

During recruiting, we’ll work with you to identify a product role where you can have the greatest impact based on your pitch, strengths, interests, and 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 own a high‑impact product or business initiative and drive it from concept to execution. Possible responsibilities 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 seeking builders with deep experience in financial services, excited to move from identifying problems to building solutions.

• You are highly analytical, structured in your thinking, and can break down ambiguous problems into clear opportunities.
• You’ve driven complex initiatives end‑to‑end, influenced stakeholders, and use data to inform decisions.
• You have strong product instincts: you 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. 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
