About the role

SentiLink helps institutions and protects customers by accurately resolving identities and flagging fraud risk. Each day, we verify more than 3 million identities, flagging 150k+ fraud attempts in the process.

Together, we do truly meaningful work protecting the identities of innocent consumers and flagging the fraudsters attempting to exploit them.

We already serve 13 of the top 15 U.S. banks, we're expanding into new markets, and we're backed by Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin. We've been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 and as a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner We were also the first company to go live with the electronic Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (eCBSV) service, and we've testified before the U.S. Congress on the future of identity.

We want SentiLink to be the best place you've ever worked. We offer generous benefits and support a range of working arrangements, from fully remote to in-office. We are a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India, and we meet in person regularly to build relationships.

Role

SentiLink's Talent Acquisition team is responsible for building the teams that enable the company to grow. We partner closely with hiring managers and business leaders to identify, attract, and hire exceptional talent, while building the systems and processes that make recruiting more effective.

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Associate to join our team as an early-career recruiting generalist. You'll get hands-on exposure to all aspects of Talent Acquisition, from coordinating interviews and sourcing candidates to experimenting with AI tools, building better workflows, and taking on projects that help our team operate more effectively.

We're looking for someone who's naturally curious, loves to tinker, and enjoys figuring out how to make things work better. You don't need prior recruiting experience, but you should be excited to learn, comfortable with technology, and willing to jump into whatever the team needs.

This is a role for someone who takes ownership, cares about the details, and is willing to jump in wherever needed. Success means keeping recruiting running smoothly, helping us find great candidates, and making meaningful improvements to how our Talent Acquisition team operates.

We are open to candidates at the beginning of their careers, including recent graduates. You don't need prior recruiting experience, but you should be able to show us how you have taken initiative, learned new tools, or built something that made a process better, whether through work, internships, school, or personal projects.

This role is based in our Austin office.

Applications will close on October 30, 2026.
