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.
The founders are childhood friends who grew up in Singapore and moved to the US for college. 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 seeking an early engineer to develop foundational components of our product and anchor the culture and spirit of the team. We care more about slope than y-intercept. Formal education or prior domain knowledge is not strictly required, but a fierce can-do attitude and a desire to make something of yourself certainly is.
We're also looking for folks who care not just about their work, but the people around them — we're building a team that's as kind as they are talented.
Our team is US-based and fully-remote. We operate on Pacific time, roughly 9am to 5pm each weekday. The team also comes together for a week every quarter at a location within the continental US. We’ll give plenty of notice for these gatherings, and cover flights and accommodation. We expect all employees to participate.
