The Company you’ll Join

Citadel is a US-based startup that helps companies verify income and employment of users who apply for a job or a loan.

Current alternatives are either waiting for 5-7 days to verify over a phone or pay up to $100 for an API call. Citadel provides a solution to this problem.

We already saved our clients millions of dollars and millions of hours for people who're used to fill out forms and upload paystubs.

Imagine applying for a loan or verifying your job history with a click of a button. That's what Citadel is empowering.

The Team You’ll Work With

We're a small but mighty team of engineers, product managers, and business folks who built and launched products at Apple, Uber, Facebook, Carta, Venmo, Telegram, and Plaid. We're well funded by US-based top VC funds.

We like to nerd out about using the cutting-edge tech and building frictionless user experiences. We love crafting great products and see our users delighted by what we build.

We're a distributed team with no plans to start an office anytime soon. We don't really care where you are, but we care a lot about who you are. If you like solving customer pain points, helping your team members excel at what they do, being part of a community, and care about quality, you'll fit in.
