Head of Bank Products

Overview Every business in America needs a bank account to exist. Baselayer is rebuilding the infrastructure that determines whether a business is real, who is behind it, and whether it is a risk. We fuse public records, IRS data, sanctions lists, web signals, and fraud telemetry from 2,200+ financial institutions into a single graph that resolves any business and the humans behind it in milliseconds. Our solution delivers higher match rates than legacy credit bureaus and is becoming infrastructure for platforms that need to trust a business.

Trust is the substrate of every financial transaction. About the Team We solve real-time entity resolution at scale, fusing dozens of data sources into a single business identity graph. It’s a graph AI problem, a retrieval problem, and a fraud-modeling problem stacked on top of each other. You’d be joining a small team where the data moat is defensible, the research problems are open, and the infrastructure you build becomes load-bearing for businesses. There’s no layer of process between an idea and shipping it.

We’re at an inflection point—the graph is built, the match rates speak for themselves, and the hardest problems are ahead: graph embeddings, fraud propagation models across the business network, real-time traversal at sub-100ms latency, and expanding the identity layer beyond finance into every platform that needs to trust a business.

We fuse public records, IRS data, sanctions lists, web signals, and fraud telemetry from 2,200+ financial institutions into a single graph that resolves any business and the humans behind it in milliseconds. The legacy credit bureaus took 50 years to build something that gets 60% match rates. Today we’re trusted by over 20% of financial institutions in America—including FIS, Rho, Socure and leading loan infrastructure providers. But the graph is becoming infrastructure for anyone who needs to know if a business is real and worth trusting: gig platforms, marketplaces, AI companies, and commerce infrastructure at scale.

Trust is the substrate of every financial transaction. About the Role As Baselayer’s first dedicated Product Manager, you’ll report directly to our CTO and own the creation, design, and full scoping of new products that take Baselayer beyond financial institutions into new verticals where business identity is broken. You’ll be writing one.

You’ll write the specs, draw the wireframes, partner with design, and sit in engineering standups. You’ll also own the existing product surface: setting priorities, sequencing the roadmap, and making the daily calls that keep engineering shipping the right things. What You’ll Do New Product Definition & Scoping Lead the scoping of new products targeting verticals beyond financial institutions, from initial thesis through detailed product spec

Translate market opportunity into product requirements, including target user, core workflows, success metrics, and what’s explicitly out of scope

Specs, Wireframes & Design Partnership Write specs that engineers can build from without a dozen follow-up questions

Produce wireframes and flow diagrams that make tradeoffs concrete and force decisions early

Partner closely with design on UX, with strong opinions on craft and a clear bar for what ships

Minimum Requirements 5+ years in product management, with at least one zero-to-one product you scoped, shipped, and grew into material revenue

Strong opinions on UX and product craft, with the ability to defend them and the humility to update them
