API-based lending infrastructure for SMBs
At finmid, we’re building infrastructure that integrates access to capital for SMEs directly into the platforms they use daily. We leverage technology, data, and strategic partnerships to deliver financing solutions that significantly outperform traditional financial services - offering SMEs faster, simpler, and more transparent access to funding.
As we expand across Europe, our Latvian subsidiary, licensed as a European Crowdfunding Service Provider by the Bank of Latvia, plays a critical role. Our stack combines regulated financial infrastructure with modern software engineering. The gap between those two things is exactly where this role lives.
We're looking for a Platform Engineer who wants to own the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. You'll build and maintain the systems our engineering teams rely on every day — CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, data tooling, AI integrations, and developer experience as a whole. This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. You'll design systems from scratch, introduce new tools, and have a direct say in how we build software.
Architect and manage our cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes.
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and internal platforms.
Evaluate, integrate, and roll out new tools and services across the company.
Partner with product and business teams to remove bottlenecks and ship faster.
Own production systems end-to-end — from design decisions to incident response.
Raise the bar on security, observability, and engineering standards.
We care far more about how you think than what you already know. Languages and tools can be learned — curiosity and drive can't.
You're a pragmatist. You find the simplest solution that actually works, not the most impressive one.
You're comfortable with infrastructure. You have hands-on experience with containers, orchestration, and cloud platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, or similar).
You write clean, maintainable code. We mostly work in Kotlin and TypeScript, but we won't filter you out over a language.
You communicate well. You can explain technical decisions to non-technical people and collaborate across teams without friction.
You want to grow. You're not looking for a role where you do the same thing every day. You want to stretch.
Experience with financial services, payments, or regulated environments.
Familiarity with managing micro-services running on JVM runtime.
A track record of driving projects from idea to production.
Experience working in distributed / remote teams.
We see ourselves as “distributed first” but also have a beautiful office in Berlin where you can work.
We are flexible and cover whatever you need to be as productive as possible (e.g., MacOS, IntelliJ IDEA, Claude Code).
Home office stipend.
30 days’ of time off.
Meaningful equity.
Open-minded and transparent culture that includes regular get-together meetings (e.g., All Hands, Brown Bag Lunch, Offsites).
finmid provides embedded lending infrastructure for B2B platforms to offer financing to SMB merchants. Its API-based lending platform lets partners add capital and payment solutions, such as cash advances and B2B payments, with a few lines of code, while finmid handles underwriting, risk, and regulatory compliance. This makes it easy for platforms to launch financing products with minimal development work, often delivering funding decisions within 24 hours by using real-time data from the partner ecosystem. The company differentiates itself by focusing on embedded finance for SMEs and managing complex financial operations for platforms, rather than competing as a standalone lender; its goal is to close Europe’s SME financing gap by helping platforms create new revenue streams and improve merchant growth.
