We help SMEs become credit-ready by converting real-world operational and financial inputs into lender-grade applications and risk signals. Our platform brings together: (1) fast onboarding and structured data capture, (2) integrations into bookkeeping and banking sources, (3) workflow automation for financing products such as invoice financing, purchase order financing, inventory financing, and asset financing, and (4) AI-enabled validation and scoring to improve speed, accuracy, and fairness.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Our product captures company, founder, and financing details (including required documents like audited accounts, bank statements, tax compliance certificates, and product-specific invoices/POs), and supports risk and impact assessment requirements (e.g., legal disputes, statutory liabilities, and restricted-use screening).</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18pt; font-weight: bold\">About the Role</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">We’re looking for a Junior Backend Software Engineer to help build the core APIs and services powering Flowt. You’ll work on high-impact features that touch onboarding, data ingestion, underwriting workflows, document handling, audit trails, and integrations (e.g., accounting platforms and payment rails). This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who wants to level up quickly by shipping production software in a fintech/AI environment.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
