Middesk jobs

Middesk, a Y Combinator-backed business identity verification platform backed by Sequoia and Accel, is hiring a hands-on applied ML expert to build AI-driven applications for customer onboarding and risk management. You'll deliver production ML models in fraud detection, KYB, and compliance; tackle hard data problems like extreme class imbalance and sparse labels; and establish ML infrastructure foundations including feature services, model training pipelines, and knowledge graph solutions. The role requires 5+ years of production ML experience in risk/fraud/trust & safety domains, hands-on knowledge graph work (ideally on business entity networks), entity resolution expertise for KYB/KYC/AML contexts, proficiency with real-world classification challenges, and ML infrastructure fundamentals like feature stores and model serving. This is a senior IC role with significant technical influence and mentorship responsibilities at a well-funded fintech that recently made Forbes Fintech 50. The standout requirement is deep production experience shipping external-facing models specifically in fraud/risk/trust & safety—general ML won't cut it.

Middesk, a fintech business identity verification platform backed by Sequoia and Accel, is hiring a Government Relations Lead to build relationships with state agencies, manage policy strategy, and remove regulatory blockers across all 50 states. The role requires 6+ years in government relations, public policy, or public affairs with state/local experience and a strong network of lobbyists and consultants; it's a player-coach position blending policy, operations, and growth. Offering $160k–$215k remote/flexible in New York, San Francisco, or remote, it reports directly to internal legal/operations leadership.

Middesk (Series B, $200k–$230k base) seeks an Account Executive for mid-market B2B sales in fintech/lending, requiring new business hunting, relationship building with senior stakeholders, and sales cycle ownership. The role requires 3 days/week in NYC office—a hard conflict with James's remote-only mandate.
