Middesk | Full-time | SF / NYC | Hybrid | middesk.com

Middesk helps companies figure out who’s actually behind a business. Banks, fintechs, and platforms rely on us to get that answer fast and accurate before they issue a card, fund a merchant, or open an account.

We pull data from hundreds of government agencies, resolve it into a single view of a business, and serve it through an API. Business verification is becoming core infrastructure connecting businesses, banks, and governments, and that’s what we’re building. And our engineers build with AI every day. Earlier this year, agents helped us refactor our entire data pipeline.

Middesk is a Series B company backed by Sequoia and Accel, came out of YC, and was recently named to Forbes’ Fintech 50. We’re looking for folks who like getting close to customers and turning that context into product decisions.

Middesk | Full-time | NYC / SF | Hybrid | middesk.com At Middesk, we're building the business identity infrastructure that banks, fintechs, and platforms rely on to know who they're doing business with — powering KYB (Know Your Business) compliance, fraud prevention, and entity verification at scale.

We're expanding beyond verification into a full agentic compliance platform — orchestrators and specialist agents that automate what used to be manual compliance review. Backed by YC, Sequoia, and Accel (Series B). We're a small, sharp team with high ownership — engineers work closely with customers and leadership, and get to see their work ship fast. Open roles:
