- Join the team of highly motivated, pragmatic engineers
- Impact by solving challenges in the next-gen financial products
- Architect, design, and develop products from scratch
- Embrace innovational concepts and adopt cutting-edge technologies to achieve our goals
- Integrate third-party vendor solutions into backend systems
- Participate in pair- and mob-programming sessions with fellow engineers

Our take
Founded in 2021, Finmid is a financial services infrastructure provider, built to support other businesses with their financial products and services. The company focuses on simplicity for its customers, building a variety of products that amount to one integration for each company.
The capabilities of Finmid's offering are broad. The infrastructure supports companies in building a host of solutions such as buy-now-pay-later and AR management, while the company also supplies invoice and trade financing products. On top of this, its capital offerings enable users to offer cash advances to their merchants.
Well funded, Finmid has enjoyed a promising path of growth as it has built up the value it delivers. The latest investment, which saw the company exit stealth mode, will be used to drive growth and product innovation, allowing the company to focus on expanding its core markets for a future of success.
