Last but not least, we’ve even made history - we were the first company to go live with the eCBSV https://resources.sentilink.com/blog/sentilink-makes-history-as-first-ecbsv-provider and testified before the United States House of Representatives https://resources.sentilink.com/media/sentilinks-statement-before-the-house-financial-services-committee on the future of identity.

If you’re located near one of these offices, we would love for you to spend time in the office regularly. Some roles are hybrid or in-office by design. For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.
