Parafin is a Series C fintech company on a mission to democratize access to capital for small businesses. We partner with platforms like DoorDash, Amazon, Worldpay, and Mindbody to embed lending, spend management, and savings tools directly into their ecosystems. The company has raised $194M in equity and $340M in debt facilities, backed by top-tier VCs including GIC, Redpoint Ventures, and Thrive Capital.
The Lending Products team builds the core systems, frameworks, and infrastructure that power Parafin's suite of lending products. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will own the development of key platform components end-to-end, working closely with product engineers across the company to enable them to ship new lending verticals quickly and reliably.
Key responsibilities include:
- Independently own and ship platform features end-to-end, from design through deployment
- Partner with engineers on lending vertical teams to understand their needs and build platform capabilities that accelerate their velocity
- Identify and implement infrastructure improvements to support product development and enhance system reliability
- Contribute to engineering culture through thoughtful code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing
- Mentor other engineers and drive improvements to team processes and code quality
You should have 5+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally in a platform or product-focused environment. You care deeply about code quality, are comfortable owning new platform capabilities from the ground up, and have strong fundamentals in system design. Cross-functional collaboration skills are essential—you'll work closely with Engineering, Product, and Data Science teams. Experience building internal platforms, fintech/embedded finance, or systems with strong correctness and auditability requirements is a plus.
Parafin offers competitive compensation ($215k–$275k base + equity), medical/dental/vision insurance, work-from-home flexibility, unlimited PTO, commuter benefits, free lunches, paid parental leave, 401(k), and an employee assistance program.
