Job description

Job Post : Co-Founder & Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Location : HSR Layout, Bengaluru

Stage : Seed funded | Deep Tech | Cybersecurity + Identity + Fraud Prevention

Commitment : Full-Time | Equity + Milestone-Based Vesting

About Us

We’re building Kreesalis — a new category in digital trust.

Our flagship platform, K-Protect , combines identity verification, behavioral biometrics, real-time policy enforcement, and hardware-backed authentication (FIDO) into a single trust layer that works across banking, telecom, e-commerce, fintech, and government ecosystems.

Fraud is no longer a security problem — it’s a trust infrastructure failure.

We are fixing that.

We’re backed by industry leaders from cybersecurity, enterprise tech, compliance, and identity systems — and now preparing for a Pre–Series A raise as we enter large enterprise and government deployments.

Why This Role Exists

We’re at a critical inflection point :

  • Enterprise deals in pipeline
  • Hardware + SaaS recurring model validated
  • Strategic partnerships in motion
  • Massive demand pull from BFSI, telecom & public sector

Now, we need a financial leader who can help architect scale — not just manage books.

We are looking for someone who thinks like a capital strategist, operator, and category builder.

This is not a finance manager role. This is a co-founder seat.

What You Will Own

  • Lead our Pre–Series A and Series A fundraise — from investor strategy to term sheet negotiation
  • Build and oversee financial models, unit economics, revenue architecture, pricing frameworks, and SaaS + hardware margins
  • Design our capital allocation plan, entity structure (India + global), tax strategy, and treasury systems
  • Own compliance, audit, governance, ESOPs, FP&A, and board reporting frameworks
  • Shape and optimise our go-to-market cost structure, enterprise contracting, and scalability metrics
  • Serve as a strategic partner on GTM, partnerships, procurement, and risk management

    • You Are a Fit If You Have :

  • Experience scaling a Series A+ or high-growth SaaS / Fintech / Cybersecurity startup
  • Strong exposure to enterprise SaaS, fintech, compliance, or identity / fraud ecosystems
  • Proven fundraising experience with VCs, strategics, or capital markets
  • Strategic and analytical thinking — not just accounting execution
  • Ability to speak confidently with investors, regulators, enterprise boards, and banks
  • The ambition to help build a category-defining company , not just another software product

    • Bonus if you have worked in : Identity, authentication, risk, payments, telecom, BFSI or cybersecurity.

    Structure & Compensation

    Title : Co-Founder & CFO

    Compensation : Meaningful equity + milestone-based upside + future salary post-fundraise

    Vesting : Standard 3–4 year + performance-linked ramps

    We are open to former Founders, Strategy Chiefs, Venture-backed CFOs, or Finance Directors ready for a co-founder role.

    Why Join Us

    Because this isn’t a job — it’s a chance to build one of the most important digital infrastructure layers of the next decade.

  • A platform that will sit behind banking, commerce, identity, and governance.
  • A team with deep enterprise, product, and engineering DNA.
  • A problem space with global urgency and billion-dollar pull.

    • If you want safety, join a unicorn.

  • If you want impact, ownership, and legacy — join us now.
