Making a real impact
Our mission is to make the world safe from fraud. But because fraud is always evolving, our work is never done.
In the blink of an eye, a fraudster can rob an elderly person of their lifelong savings and make retirement impossible. They can bring down a business overnight and leave them unable to pay their employees. Even worse, they can channel funds to the world's darkest corners.
And that’s why we need the best people to join us in advancing our mission.
Who we are:
We are a leader in financial crime prevention. Using unparalleled device intelligence and behavior biometrics, we apply machine learning to detect and stop fraud before it happens. The platform includes tools for identity verification, fraud prevention and investigation, AML monitoring, and case management. Over 250 companies use Sardine to prevent fake account creation, social engineering scams, account takeovers, bot attacks, payment fraud, and money laundering. We raised $75M, led by Andreessen Horowitz Growth, XYZ Capital, Google Ventures, Visa, Activant Capital, Experian, and ING Ventures.
Our culture:
- We have hubs in the Bay Area, NYC, Austin, and Toronto. However, we have a remote-first work culture. #WorkFromAnywhere
- We hire talented, self-motivated people and get out of their way
- We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.
Location:
- Remote - Brazil or Argentina
- From Home / Beach / Mountain / Cafe / Anywhere!
- We are a remote-first company with a globally distributed team. You can find your productive zone and work from there.
