Solutions Engineer, Partnerships at Parafin

At Parafin, we are dedicated to helping small businesses thrive. While these enterprises serve as the backbone of our economy, they often lack access to the financial resources provided by traditional banking institutions. We bridge this gap by building technology that enables small businesses to access essential financial tools directly through the platforms they already use. By partnering with major companies like Amazon, DoorDash, Worldpay, and Mindbody, we simplify complex capital markets, underwriting, and compliance processes. Our team is composed of innovators from industry-leading companies like Stripe, Square, and Plaid, and we are backed by prominent investors including GIC and Thrive Capital. As a Series C company that has raised over $194 million in equity, we are looking for passionate individuals to help us build a future where every small business has the support it needs to succeed.
