By enabling our retail partners to offer flexible lease-to-own (LTO) purchase options for both prime and non-prime consumers, Kafene helps merchants grow their customer base and meet the increasing demand for furniture, appliances, electronics, tires, and other durable goods. Utilizing over 20,000 data inputs alongside cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies, our platform creates a best-in-class experience for both merchants and customers. With over $400 million in sales since inception, we are rapidly growing and looking to expand our team.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic workplace culture that values collaboration, innovation, and mutual support. Our team of 170 is spread across our NYC headquarters, a Wilmington office, and fully remote staff nationwide.

Last year, we were recognized as one of Built In's Startups to Watch and Forbes' Best Startup Employers.

  • Partner with marketing and product teams to refine messaging, promotional materials, and sales tools.
