About LendAPI:
LendAPI is building the orchestration layer for lending and embedded finance. Our vision: Launch Any Financial Product Instantly. We enable financial institutions to design, launch, and scale modern lending products by abstracting complex banking infrastructure into clean, developer-friendly workflows.
Our platform powers mission-critical systems across application processing, underwriting, funding, and servicing. We work with leading fintechs and financial institutions to transform how financial services are built and delivered.
About the Role:
As a Solutions Engineer at LendAPI, you are the technical bridge between our platform and our customers. You will partner directly with customers and internal product teams to design, build, and deploy real-world financial applications.
This is a high-ownership, builder role—combining hands-on engineering with customer-facing solution design. You will shape both customer implementations and the evolution of the LendAPI platform.

Act as the primary technical point of contact for prospective and existing customers, guiding them through integration, implementation, and launch.
Develop and present technical demonstrations, proof-of-concepts, and sample code to showcase the capabilities of the LendAPI platform.
Provide expert guidance on API integration strategies, data mapping, and custom configuration of our core platform components.
Design, build, and deploy custom scripts or connectors to facilitate complex customer data migration and integration with the LendAPI platform.
Troubleshoot issues across internal systems, customers, and third-party services
Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to translate customer requirements and feedback into platform improvements and new features.
