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
We are looking for an Executive Assistant to the CEO to be our CEO's right hand and force multiplier. You will own the CEO's calendar, inbox, travel, and priorities so they can spend their time on customers, investors, and the team, and you will make sure nothing important falls through the cracks.
This is a highly visible role reporting directly to the CEO. You will work with every function across the company, with our board and investors, and with executives at some of the largest financial institutions in the country. You will see how a fast-growing startup is built from the inside and be trusted with confidential information from day one.
This is not a role for someone who wants to wait for instructions. We are looking for someone who anticipates what's needed before it's asked, keeps a high bar for detail and discretion, and takes as much pride in a flawless board meeting as in a perfectly planned week.
