Datasent

Datasent is building the infrastructure layer for a privacy‐first data economy. We help companies train, analyze, and monetize data without moving or exposing raw data using edge computing, cryptographic verification, and decentralized AI workflows. We work at the intersection of backend systems, data engineering, ML pipelines, and deployment infrastructure, and we're looking for engineers who want to grow into that space while shipping real software used by real customers.
