    Job description

    ABOUT BASELAYER

    Every business in America needs a bank account to exist. The system that decides whether they're real, who's behind them, and whether they're a risk, runs on infrastructure from the 1980s. We're rebuilding that layer from scratch.

    Baselayer is the identity layer for institutions across the United States: the most complete business graph in America and every human tied to it. 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. We've built something that gets 98% in under two years.

    Today we're trusted by over 20% of financial institutions in America including FIS, Rho, Socure and top five US banks. 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. We're rebuilding it.

    ABOUT THE TEAM

    AI agents are starting to transact: opening accounts, buying services, moving money on behalf of the businesses and people behind them. Every one of those transactions has a counterparty asking the question banks have always asked: who am I dealing with, and can I trust them? Today's identity infrastructure wasn't built to answer it at agent speed.

    The Agentic Economy team is extending Baselayer's business graph into the trust layer for agentic commerce: verifiable credentials that bind an agent to the verified business and human behind it, a registry counterparties can query in real time, and verification APIs that plug into the networks, platforms, and protocols where agent transactions happen.

    We run like a startup inside a startup: a small senior team led by our GM of Agentic Economy, working directly with payment networks, banks, wallet providers, and agent platforms. The category is being defined right now; the standards, seats, and infrastructure decisions of the next 18 months will be consequential for a decade.

    ABOUT THE ROLE

    Baselayer is growing, and we're looking for a Senior Recruiter to help us hire the people who will define the company. You'll be owning full-cycle talent acquisition across Go-to-Market, and Operations teams. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role — you'll work directly with founders and hiring managers to build a bar-raising hiring process and bring exceptional people into the team.

    WHAT YOU'LL DO

    • Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across GTM, Tech, Product and Operations — from sourcing through offer close
    • Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, build scorecards, and maintain a high hiring bar
    • Build and manage sourcing strategies to proactively identify top talent through LinkedIn, referrals, events, and creative outreach
    • Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring every candidate has a respectful, clear, and timely process
    • Maintain and improve our ATS, keeping pipelines clean and data accurate
    • Develop and iterate on interview processes that are structured, fair, and predictive of on-the-job success
    • Contribute to employer brand efforts — help tell the Baselayer story to attract candidates who are excited about our mission
    • Track recruiting metrics and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and quality of hire

    MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

    • 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or in a fast-paced environment
    • Strong sourcing skills — you know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just manage inbound
    • Excellent communication and organizational skills; you run a tight, candidate-friendly process
    • Experience with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or similar)
    • Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter

    WORK LOCATION

    • Remote or In-office out of NYC

    COMPENSATION

    • Salary Range: $90,000 – $140,000 + Equity
    • Variable Compensation: Annual Bonus

    BENEFITS

    • Time off when you need it: Flexible PTO so you can recharge without red tape
    • In-person energy: We're based in NYC and meet in the office full-time
    • Competitive compensation: We pay well and back it with equity. We want you to think and act like an owner
    • Career rocket fuel: You'll help build the foundation of a high-growth startup, working side by side with experienced founders and team members who've done it before
    • Benefits on us: We cover 100% of your health, dental, and vision premiums. No surprise deductions from your paycheck
    • 401(k) with company match: We match your contributions so your future self benefits too
    • HSA contributions included: We contribute to your HSA on applicable plans, so your coverage works as hard as you do
    • Stay healthy, stay sharp: A $250 monthly gym stipend to help you bring your best self to work, and everywhere else
    • Lunch on us: Lunch stipend so you can stay fueled and focused without thinking about it
    • A seat at the table: We believe in transparency, radical candor, and giving every team member a voice 🔥
