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, 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 a Quantitative Scientist at SentiLink, you will build our core products: models that identify fraudsters and also advance our growing suite of products in financial risk. This role is designed for new PhD graduates or early-career researchers interested in applying machine learning to real-world fraud detection. You'll build and ship machine learning models in a production environment, gaining hands-on experience across the full ML lifecycle, from research and development to deployment at scale. If you're looking for real-world AI and ML exposure in an industry setting, not just research papers, this is it.
We have open roles on multiple teams including:
- Emerging Products - focuses on 0-to-1 development of new offerings brought to market
- Application Fraud - analyzes the foundational elements of consumer financial applications to detect all forms of fraud
- Identity - resolves identities across massive, often conflicting data sources (both digital and physical) and generates risk models from limited information
You will be relied upon to be technically capable and the definitive owner of your respective domain. You will often work on projects with high visibility and impact that require deep domain understanding, critical thinking and strong technical abilities. You will work with teams across the company to research new types of fraud, develop new products, and provide analysis to drive sales and marketing. This is a full-stack data science role, involving model development, analysis, and writing production code. You should be interested in having end-to-end ownership and 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.
This role can be remote within the U.S., with a strong preference for candidates who can work from our Austin, San Francisco, or New York offices.
Technologies: Python 3, PostgreSQL, and AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS, Redshift, etc.)
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- 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.
- Build foundational modeling to drive SentiLink’s expanding suite of Fraud and Financial Risk products.
- 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.
- Work with engineering, risk operations, and data acquisitions to access necessary data, maintain data quality, and support data access
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field or equivalent experience/research
- Strong foundation in machine learning, statistics, or applied data science
- Experience with Python and common data science tools through coursework, research, internships, or personal projects
- Demonstrated ability to analyze complex problems and build data-driven solutions
- Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical ideas clearly
- Interest in learning deeply about fraud, identity, and financial risk systems
- Ability to write clean, maintainable code
- Strong attention to detail and curiosity about real-world data problems
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must live in the United States
- Thrive in a fast paced environment characterized by the need to solve extremely varied, high impact, open ended problems
SALARY RANGE:
$120,000/year - $220,000/year + equity + benefits
Note: This salary range is inclusive of multiple career levels, and the actual base salary within that range will be determined by several components including but not limited to the individual's education, experience, skills, and qualifications.

Listed by Loft for a position based in the United States. Employers on this board attest they are hiring domestically.
Crux is the capital platform for the clean economy. We modernize capital raising and deployment for clean energy and critical infrastructure with solutions across advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence.
Our team of 120+ is composed of experts in energy, tax, finance, government, and technology. We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others. These funds are joined by strategic investors including Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, Intersect Power, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures.
An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing
Energy demand is growing for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more affordable and reliable electricity. More electricity requires new clean energy infrastructure and strong domestic supply chains for minerals and components — as well as large amounts of capital.
Traditional project financing is opaque, fragmented, and analog. At Crux, we’re changing that. Through unmatched insights and expertise, white-glove service, purpose-built tools, and risk underwriting, we power a more prosperous, clean, and secure energy future.
We are scaling quickly and looking for team members who are eager to combine deep expertise with an AI- and tech-forward mindset.
The Opportunity
We are adding a Vice President to our Industry Coverage team, with a focus on M&A advisory and debt-related mandates. Industry coverage is responsible for building relationships with and advising developers, IPPs, utilities, manufacturers, and sponsors on capital structure & formation across debt, tax equity, tax credits and future financial products. This role will take on growing responsibility for M&A advisory and debt execution specifically — owning client relationships, structuring transactions, and helping to grow Crux's M&A advisory and debt capabilities as core franchises.
What You'll Do
Own senior client relationships directly, driving strategic coverage plans and serving as a trusted advisor to developers, IPPs, utilities, manufacturers, and sponsors across the full capital stack — including M&A, debt, tax equity, and transferable tax credits.
Help drive origination, structuring, and execution of M&A advisory mandates, including sell-side processes, valuation analysis, buyer/seller outreach, and deal negotiation.
Support and increasingly help drive debt origination and advisory work across construction, term, back-leverage, tax equity bridge, and other structured debt products, partnering closely with Structuring and Capital Coverage on lender engagement and terms negotiation.
Apply deep market intelligence and product knowledge to advise clients on M&A and debt opportunities across the clean energy capital stack.
Build engagement with senior stakeholders at client organizations, while mentoring junior team members on relationship-building and deal execution.
Own the development of M&A- and debt-specific client-facing materials, including CIMs, teasers, buyer/lender lists, process trackers, valuation analyses, and financial models.
Help manage transaction execution workstreams for M&A and debt mandates, including diligence oversight, process management, and coordination with legal, financial, and technical advisors.
Drive client onboarding and ongoing engagement strategy with Crux's software and Intelligence platforms.
Champion customer feedback into Product, Operations, and software teams to shape Crux's platform roadmap.
Contribute thought leadership on M&A and debt market trends to Market Intelligence content, and represent Crux at webinars, industry events, and conferences.
What makes this opportunity distinctive
Opportunity to grow into a leadership role building out Crux's M&A advisory franchise and debt execution capability from the ground up, with increasing ownership over strategy and execution over time.
Opportunity to work across advisory, capital, software, and intelligence in a more integrated model than traditional investment banking or project finance roles.
Direct exposure to senior leadership, top-tier sponsors and strategics, and a wide range of M&A and debt transaction types across the clean energy ecosystem.
Competitive compensation, flexible working culture, and a mission-driven environment focused on accelerating the energy transition.
Help grow an established book of business; drive strategy for nurturing and expanding buyers, investors, and lenders through the customer lifecycle.
Serve as a senior strategic resource to clients throughout the M&A and debt transaction lifecycle.
Educate and advise buyers, investors, and lenders on risk, proactively resolving transaction issues before they threaten deal timelines.
Support new business development for M&A and debt mandates through conferences, networking, outreach, and other creative channels.
Build and maintain credibility and senior relationships with key contacts at corporates, family offices, accounting and tax firms, investment banks, and lenders.
What You Bring
7+ years of experience in power and utilities, renewables, clean energy finance, infrastructure M&A, debt capital markets, project finance, investment banking, or a closely related advisory role.
Demonstrated track record contributing to M&A transactions (buy-side or sell-side) and/or debt financings, with strong command of deal structuring and execution.
Deep expertise in at least one of M&A advisory or debt capital markets, with working knowledge of the other.
Proven experience preparing M&A and/or debt-related materials such as CIMs, teasers, lender presentations, information memoranda, and buyer/lender lists.
Strong track record managing multiple complex workstreams independently and maintaining high standards in a fast-moving environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication, sound professional judgment, and a client-first mindset.
Genuine excitement about clean energy, technology-enabled financial services, and the opportunity to help build new M&A advisory and debt franchises within Crux.
Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time.
FINRA SIE, Series 79, and 63, or willingness to obtain them under Crux's broker-dealer sponsorship.
