The foundation of the modern global economy is built on a dense network of counterparty trust and risk. In the past 50 years, companies have evolved from relying on a couple of wholesalers and vendors, to utilizing 100+ SaaS vendors, contract partners, and cloud providers. Since each counterparty has their own idiosyncratic internal processes and risk profiles, businesses end up spending millions of dollars and countless man-hours conducting due diligence.
Coverbase's mission is to streamline this business-to-business assessment, reducing human toil, and allowing organizations to work together safely and reliably. We employ modern AI techniques to organize vast amounts of unstructured data and compare them against policies to identify key risks to the business. We have customers in insurance, higher education and finance including 5 of the top 25 banks in the US.

Clarence was previously cofounder and CTO of Unit21, a Series C fraud tooling company that has raised ~$100M to date. Kao was an engineering manager at Stripe who helped start the Banking-as-a-Service product. We’ve raised $3.5M from a world-class set of investors and our team of 6 have build important products at Google, Mapbox and Waymo.

We’re also looking for someone who cares deeply about the team. You’ll be instrumental in fostering a collaborative, high-trust environment where everyone feels supported and empowered to do their best work.
Our team is US-based and fully-remote. We work on Pacific time, roughly 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, with quarterly in-person gatherings at a location within the continental US. We provide plenty of notice for these events and cover all travel and accommodations. Participation is expected.
Your role will be dynamic and multifaceted, reflecting the needs of a growing startup. You will work closely with the founders and the broader team to take on the following responsibilities:
If you’re ready to wear many hats, act as a driving force behind critical initiatives, and make a meaningful impact on our company’s growth, we’d love to hear from you!
