For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.
ROLE:
SentiLink builds the fraud detection and identity verification models much of the US financial system runs on. As Head of Applied ML, you own a major ML domain end to end.
You'll lead a team of 4 applied ML scientists, 6 by the end of 2026, all experienced and technically deep enough to challenge you daily. This is a people management role that stays close to the work. Technical credibility is non-negotiable: you'll review PRs, push on modeling decisions, and unblock the team.
Data science drives product decisions here, and we expect you to become a strategic leader in both the product and ML domains you own. We use AI across all of our work, are exploring where it belongs in the products themselves, and hold a hard line on AI safety and data governance.
Technologies: Python 3, PostgreSQL, AWS, XGBoost, scikit-learn, pandas, Elasticsearch and OpenSearch, Neo4j, MLflow, Flyte, and use of modern LLM tooling.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Directly manage a team of applied ML scientists, 4 today and growing to 6 by the end of 2026, and set the engineering and modeling practices they work by.
- Own strategy and execution for your applied ML domain: roadmap, priorities, resourcing, and results.
- Act as a technical mentor who can dive deep and give specific, useful direction. Guide modeling and architecture decisions, review PRs, and stay current on the codebase and production systems.
- Partner with senior leadership, Product, Engineering, and Risk to set priorities and deliver on aggressive timelines.
- Represent your domain in product strategy discussions and help shape where those products go next.
- Own SentiLink's fraud detection and identity models across the full lifecycle: data acquisition, feature engineering, labeling strategy, model training, experimentation, production deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
- Research emerging fraud patterns, build new ML capabilities for identity verification and financial risk, and design analyses that inform product and business decisions.
- Drive how the team uses AI in its own work, keep pushing the boundary on what that unlocks, and help define where AI belongs in our products.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years of industry experience applying machine learning or statistics to real-world problems, or 7+ years with a relevant PhD, including 6+ years directly managing machine learning or data science teams across two companies or more. Startup experience strongly preferred.
- Experience leading ML or data science teams in fraud, identity, fintech, banking, financial services, payments, or adjacent risk-focused domains. Strongly desired, but not strictly required.
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, or another quantitative discipline.
- Demonstrated success developing and deploying production machine learning models, plus experience writing production-quality Python code and tests.
- Strong practical ML and applied statistics knowledge: able to scope solutions quickly with standard tooling and go deep where it pays off.
- Very strong end to end, with a track record of owning a technical domain and driving it to measurable business impact: planning, defining success criteria, getting buy-in, building the solution, and delivering it, whether in production, in a deck, or as strategy.
- Fluent with modern LLMs and AI-assisted development workflows, and opinionated about where they help and where they don't. Sound judgment when working with sensitive data under real information security and data governance constraints.
- Excellent communicator, including with senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. Detail oriented and thoughtful, someone we can rely on to make business-changing decisions while thriving on varied, open-ended, high-impact problems.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must live in the United States.

For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.
Role
SentiLink hires deeply curious, high-impact leaders who are passionate about fraud, identity, and the evolving tactics used to exploit modern financial systems.
Rather than hiring for a single predefined role, this position is part of a strategic leadership pipeline for experienced fraud professionals who bring deep operational expertise and the ability to influence strategy across multiple functions.
During the recruiting process, we’ll work with you to identify where you can have the greatest impact based on your experience, interests, and business needs. This could include partnering on fraud strategy, product strategy, operational excellence, industry engagement, strategic partnerships, executive stakeholder management, thought leadership, and other high-impact initiatives that help shape the future of fraud prevention.
You will join the team aligned with your role and report directly into that function, with clear ownership and accountability from day one.
This approach allows us to match experienced fraud leaders to our highest-priority opportunities while leveraging their expertise where it can have the greatest impact across the business.
Responsibilities
Your specific responsibilities will depend on the role you are aligned to, but you will be expected to bring deep fraud expertise to help shape strategy, influence decision-making, and solve complex business and customer challenges.

Representing SentiLink through industry engagement, thought leadership, and executive discussions.
Helping define best practices for fraud prevention, identity, and risk management.
Staying ahead of emerging fraud techniques, technologies, and market trends.
Requirements
We’re less focused on a specific title and more interested in experienced leaders with deep expertise in fraud, identity, and financial crime.
10+ years of experience in fraud, fraud risk, financial crimes, identity, trust & safety, or related fields.
Experience leading fraud strategy, fraud operations, fraud risk, or related functions within a financial institution, fintech, payments company, insurer, marketplace, or other regulated industry.
Demonstrated ability to influence executive stakeholders and drive strategic initiatives.
Deep curiosity about fraud, identity, and emerging attack vectors.
Strategic thinker who enjoys solving complex, ambiguous problems.
High ownership with a bias toward action.
Strong executive presence and the ability to build credibility quickly.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
Comfortable working across technical, operational, and executive audiences.
Strong collaboration skills with the ability to influence without direct authority.
Compensation
$180,000–$250,000+ base + equity + benefits

SentiLink https://www.sentilink.com/ 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.
We’ve seen tremendous traction and are growing extremely quickly. 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.
We’ve earned recognition from TechCrunch, CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, Business Insider, PYMNTS, American Banker, LendIt, and have been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 https://www.forbes.com/companies/sentilink/?list=fintech50. We have also been named a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260330439998/en/SentiLink-Named-a-2026-FICO-Industry-Vanguard-Decision-Award-Winner-for-Leadership-in-Identity-Theft-Detection. Last but not least, we’ve even made history - we were the first company to go live with the eCBSV https://resources.sentilink.com/blog/sentilink-makes-history-as-first-ecbsv-provider and testified before the United States House of Representatives https://resources.sentilink.com/media/sentilinks-statement-before-the-house-financial-services-committee on the future of identity.
SentiLink supports a variety of ways to work, ranging from fully remote to in-office. We operate as a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India. We maintain physical offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle (Bellevue), Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India. If you’re located near one of these offices, we would love for you to spend time in the office regularly. Some roles are hybrid or in-office by design. For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.
ROLE:
As Head of Machine Learning, Application Fraud at SentiLink, you will directly manage a team of talented data scientists that build our suite of products: models that identify fraudsters and also advance our growing suite of products in financial risk. In this capacity, you will be relied upon to be a technical leader, mentor, and owner of your respective domain, both for your own team and the organization. Utilize your abilities as a strong data scientist to mentor your team, probe their understanding and challenge them to do their best work. Your team will often work on projects with high visibility and impact that require deep domain understanding, critical thinking and strong technical abilities. This role requires managing full-stack data scientists, whose work involves model development, analysis, and writing production code. You yourself should share that same skillset and be interested in having end-to-end ownership in a fast-moving environment where deep domain understanding drives development and unusual insights drive our competitive advantage rather than optimization of new machine learning methodologies.
Technologies: Python 3, PostgreSQL, and AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS, Redshift, etc.)
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Directly manage a team of highly skilled data scientists. Start from 2-3 and grow to 5-6.
- Act as a technical mentor that can dive deep and provide detailed direction.
- Lead planning, resourcing and communications with senior leadership, product and engineering teams.
- Develop strong business intuition and guide your team to deliver performant DS solutions on aggressive timelines.
- Develop and maintain SentiLink’s fraud detection models through the full model development lifespan: from data acquisition decisions through featurization, focusing labeling resources, model training, experimentation, productionalization, and monitoring.
- Research new types of fraud and develop new SentiLink products around identity verification.
- Achieve success by researching / developing through iteration, integration of new data sources and inventive feature engineering.
- Write production-ready code that can be relied on for real-time decision making by our partners.
- Design, perform, and present analyses that will inform data acquisition, product development, risk operations priorities, marketing, and sales efforts.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years relevant work experience & relevant Masters or 7+ years & relevant PhD.
- 4-7 years experience directly managing a team of data scientists, ideally in a startup environment.
- 3+ years of startup experience.
- Excellent communicator and team player.
- Proven track record of solving complex / high profile business problems with DS / ML solutions.
- Experience in communicating outcomes / progress to senior management / stakeholders.
- Very strong in “end to end” DS development: Planning, fleshing out success criteria / metrics, getting buy-in, developing the solution, delivering the solution (prod / deck / strategy doc / etc).
- Strong practical ML / Stats knowledge, i.e. can easily employ the suite of standard ML / stats tools to quickly scope out solutions, and double down where needed. Experience with SOTA ML solutions is a plus.
- Interest in developing deep domain expertise for product-focused work: a background in fraud is not required, but willingness to learn is.
- Experience writing production code and tests.
- Detail oriented and thoughtful—someone we can rely on to make business-changing decisions.
- Thrive in a fast paced environment characterized by the need to solve extremely varied, high impact, open ended problems.
- Bonus for familiarity with: identity solutions, fintech, or adjacent industries.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must live in the United States.
