Thunder is software-first and intentionally lean — run with AI-augmented operators. We hire when there's a sharp need, not on a calendar.
What we look for
We aren't building a generalist team. Three profiles compound — anything else, we'd rather wait.
Senior infra and full-stack engineers who can ship end-to-end. You own a slice of the product, work close to AI tooling, and don't wait on a queue to deploy.
Existing US lender relationships and deep small business funding experience. You know how lenders think about deal sizing, credit, and risk — and you have the relationships to back it up.
Track record of compounding distribution — paid, SEO, lifecycle, partnerships. You measure your work in funded volume, not in vanity metrics.
Why Thunder
Small team, AI-augmented across every function. You don't get diluted in committees — your work ships and you see the result in the funnel.
We run a small business funding marketplace like a software company. The matching engine, the lender integrations, the analytics — all in-house, all yours to influence.
If you can scope and ship it, you can run it. We hire seniors, give them surface area, and stay out of the way until they ask for help.
