Staff Software Engineer, Lending Products

About the role

At Parafin, we're on a mission to grow small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but traditional banks often don't have their backs. We build tech that makes it simple for small businesses to access the financial tools they need through the platforms they already sell on. We partner with companies like DoorDash, Amazon, Worldpay, and Mindbody to offer fast and flexible funding, spend management, and savings tools to their small business users via a simple integration. Parafin takes on all the complexity of capital markets, underwriting, servicing, compliance, and customer service for our partners. We're a tight-knit team of innovators hailing from Stripe, Square, Plaid, Coinbase, Robinhood, CERN, and more - all united by a passion for building tools that help small businesses succeed. Parafin is backed by prominent venture capitalists including GIC, Notable Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Ribbit Capital, and Thrive Capital. Parafin is a Series C company, and we have raised more than $194M in equity and $340M in debt facilities. Join us in creating a future where every small business has the financial tools they need. We're looking for an experienced backend engineer to join our Lending Products team in San Francisco and lead the technical evolution of the platforms and infrastructure that power Parafin's lending products. The Lending Products team builds the core systems, frameworks, and tooling that engineers across Parafin rely on to build and iterate on financial products. You'll partner with engineering teams across the company to build the platform capabilities that enable us to ship new product verticals and features quickly and reliably. As a Staff engineer, you'll lead ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution. You'll make architecture decisions that affect company-wide architecture, drive alignment across the teams that depend on your platforms, and raise the bar for engineering quality by mentoring engineers and improving team processes.
