## Job description

About the Role: Parker’s mission is simple but ambitious: to increase the number of financially independent people.

- Partner with product and infrastructure teams to design secure, intuitive APIs and data models.
- Drive engineering excellence through code reviews, technical mentorship, and architectural guidance.
- Identify performance bottlenecks and lead initiatives to improve reliability, observability, and system design.
- Contribute to the evolution of Parker’s technical roadmap and long-term engineering vision.

Basic Qualifications:

- Strong proficiency with [Node.js](http://node.js) and Typescript (or comparable backend languages such as Go, Java, or Python).
- Experience with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL), Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Familiarity with GraphQL, RESTful APIs, and event-driven architectures.
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.

Who You Are:

- A systems thinker who can balance speed, reliability, and maintainability.
- A mentor who enjoys helping teammates grow through thoughtful guidance.

- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Not publicly available (key executives include Jimmy Sanchez, President; Carlos Whitt, CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Financial Services – embedded finance for e-commerce and digital businesses
- **Target Customers**: B2B; e-commerce brands, DTC companies, agencies, and scaling businesses with high revenue velocity
- **Mission/Purpose**: "Make business finance work the way it should" – rewriting how businesses access credit, manage spend, and grow in the internet economy

## Products & Services
- **Parker Corporate Card (Flexible Terms)**: A card that underwrites on revenue performance (not credit scores) and offers per‑transaction rolling terms up to 90 days, allowing businesses to pay after revenue lands. (Service/Fintech)
- **High‑Yield Banking (Parker Business Account)**: FDIC‑insured accounts offering up to 3.0% APY, designed for high‑growth e‑commerce cash flows. (Service/Banking)
- **Intelligent Bill Pay**: Pay vendors who don’t accept cards, with the same rolling terms and rewards. (Service)
- **Predictive Analytics Dashboard**: Real‑time cash flow forecasting (up to 90 days), LTV/CAC tracking, and product profitability insights. (Software/SaaS)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metrics**: Annual Revenue of ~$3M** (as of mid‑2026); Total Funding of $177M (including a $120M debt facility in March 2023 and a $20M Series B in November 2024 led by Valar Ventures)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Revenue‑Based Underwriting**: Evaluates actual business performance rather than credit scores or collateral, enabling higher limits (2× typical) and faster approvals for high‑growth online businesses.
- **Flexible Payment Terms**: 15‑ to 90‑day rolling terms on every transaction, synchronized with revenue cycles – a key moat for cash‑intensive DTC brands.
- **Integrated Banking + Credit**: Combines high‑yield deposits (3.0% APY) with credit in one platform, reducing the need to use multiple banks.
- **Built for the Internet Economy**: Purpose‑built for e‑commerce and agency workflows, including real‑time analytics and automated spend controls.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling the platform to serve a broader set of digital businesses beyond e‑commerce (e.g., agencies, subscription brands).
- Deepening predictive analytics and automation to give CFOs real‑time control over cash flow.
- Expanding credit access through data‑driven underwriting and larger debt facilities.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Impact**: "High‑impact work, real ownership" – the team is small (46 people) and every role touches the product. Builders are encouraged to question assumptions and move with urgency.
- **Engineering & Product Focus**: Strong emphasis on first‑principles thinking; engineers ship product directly to customers; the tech stack is modern and customer‑facing.
- **Work Policy**: Offices in New York (HQ) and San Francisco; remote/hybrid policy not explicitly stated in available materials, but the team spans 14 countries, suggesting flexibility.
- **Perks & Environment**: Not formally listed, but the careers page emphasizes autonomy, building something meaningful, and solving a big problem for modern businesses.
