Account Executive > Paris > Joboolo FR :

Prelude is on a mission to improve onboarding and trust for our customers.


We help companies verify and onboard their users more efficiently, with less friction and greater security — ultimately boosting conversion and reducing cost.

Today, our flagship product focuses on authentication:


enabling businesses to send OTP codes with the best price-to-conversion ratio available by dynamically selecting the most effective channel (e.g.


SMS vs WhatsApp), while blocking costly spam attacks that traditional providers often overlook.

Although Prelude was founded just two years ago, we’ve already achieved healthy financials and strong product-market fit.


Our authentication offering is just the beginning.


With a stream of market-shifting ideas in the pipeline, we’re building the platform for trust at scale — and we’re excited to shape the future of onboarding and user verification with you!

The Prelude team started with four former Zenly team members, a social network acquired by Snapchat in 2017.


We created Prelude in response to a problem we had there:


the current SMS authentication offering is too expensive, of poor quality and offers little to no protection against spam.



We believe that having a small team of committed and skilled people with a flat hierarchical organization is the best way to build a tech company.


It forces us to focus on what matters and only on what matters:


delivering value to our customers.


We also believe that at our current stage, we need to be face-to-face in our offices in Opera, so that ideas can flow freely and collaboration is spontaneous.
