Sales Engineer (French Speaker) in London

About Dotfile

Dotfile’s mission is to unlock financial innovation by making compliance simple, safe and smart. We help financial institutions verify their business customers anywhere in the world in seconds. Thanks to our all-in-one KYB platform, our clients are able to automate onboarding tasks, reduce risk and launch new markets and products faster.

As more businesses need to comply with increasingly complex regulations, they need to choose between purchasing decades old software or building their own compliance infrastructure. We believe that there is a better way and that this is the perfect time to realize our vision of creating the modern Operating System for Compliance.

Dotfile is a SaaS startup born out of the startup studio eFounders (now Hexa) in late 2021. We have since become one of the fastest growing KYB players in Europe, serving customers in 8 countries, among which leading fintech unicorns. We raised $6M from Seaya Capital, bringing our total funding to over $9M. Previous investors include Serena Capital, Kima Ventures, and top fintech operators. We are a team of 30, mostly based in Paris & London, with a passion for crafting great software blazingly fast and working hand in hand with our customers to find innovative solutions to their most important problems.
