AI platform for KYC/KYB and fraud prevention across financial institutions
Baselayer operates a machine-learning-driven compliance and risk platform for financial institutions and government agencies, with real-time identity verification and fraud detection capabilities integrated into systems managing over 30 million accounts. The hiring velocity is accelerating with sales roles leading (11 open positions), supported by concurrent scaling of engineering and data teams—a mix indicating push toward both customer acquisition and backend infrastructure maturity. Active projects center on partner onboarding playbooks, scalable KYC/KYB backend services, and fraud prevention systems, while pain points cluster around compliance at scale, partnership velocity, and reducing credit losses.
Baselayer provides an AI platform for B2B risk assessment, serving over 2,200 financial institutions and government agencies in the United States. The platform uses proprietary machine learning to query government records, web sources, and private databases to assess compliance, risk, and fraud status of small and medium-sized businesses. Core offerings include Know Your Business (identity verification), enhanced due diligence, fraud prevention, risk profiling, lien filing, and portfolio monitoring, plus credit stacking and repeat fraud prevention capabilities. The company is headquartered in New York and operates with 51–200 employees, currently in active hiring mode across sales, engineering, and data roles.
Baselayer uses Python, SQL, JavaScript, and TypeScript for core development, with Apache Airflow, Dagster, and Prefect for workflow orchestration. Data pipelines and transformation run on dbt and Metabase. Sales operations rely on HubSpot and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. The company is adopting Greenhouse for recruiting.
