Identity verification and fraud detection for financial institutions
SentiLink operates a fraud and identity risk platform built on Go, Python, and PostgreSQL, with substantial data infrastructure (Redshift, Hadoop, Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) supporting machine learning workflows. The hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, data, and sales — a 2:1 ratio of engineering+data to sales roles — while active projects span real-time ML model monitoring, AI governance frameworks, and vertical-specific playbooks (e-commerce), suggesting a shift from point-of-account detection toward continuous monitoring and scaled deployment.

SentiLink provides identity verification and synthetic fraud detection solutions to financial institutions, from large U.S. banks to fintech companies, focusing on fraud prevention at account opening and beyond. The platform detects synthetic fraud, identity theft, and first-party fraud using machine learning models informed by risk analysis. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company operates with a 51–200 person team across the United States, India, Peru, Canada, and Australia. The tech stack reflects a mature data and ML organization: Go and Python for application logic, PostgreSQL and Redshift for storage, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Airflow/Dagster/Prefect for pipeline management.
SentiLink's core stack includes Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Lambda, and machine learning orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect). Monitoring runs through Datadog, Prometheus, and Sumo Logic. Development infrastructure uses GitHub Actions and Terraform.
Active projects include identity verification platform evolution, real-time ML model monitoring, AI deployment governance frameworks, fraud detection for consumer financial applications, and vertical-specific playbooks for e-commerce. The team is also scaling sales operations and building investigation and interception capabilities.
