ABOUT BASELAYER ---------------------------------------- Every day, financial institutions make consequential decisions about which businesses to onboard and trust, in order to grow with confidence. Baselayer exists to make those decisions faster, more accurate, and much less expensive. We offer the leading AI Risk Platform that automates merchant onboarding, underwriting, and fraud prevention for over 20% of the Financial Institutions in America. By combining authoritative government data, AI agents purpose-built for web analysis, and a network powered by millions of applications, Baselayer prevents billions of dollars in merchant fraud and credit risk and instantly automates good merchant applications. ABOUT THE TEAM ---------------------------------------- We're a small team solving a big problem. Business fraud costs the financial system billions every year, and the tools built to fight it are slow, expensive, and outdated. We're changing that. You'd be joining a small, close-knit team where ownership is real, customer impact is immediate, and the work you ship matters from day one. We move deliberately, communicate directly, and care deeply about quality. If you want to look back in five years and know you worked on something that changed how trust works across major financial institutions, let's chat!
