We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:\nOne of the UK’s most exciting unicorns with a team of over 800 people\n\nAmong thefastest-growing tech companies in the UK\n\nProfitable since 2017\n\nBacked by top investors including Balderton Capital andGoldman Sachs\n\nLoved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)\n\nSo far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.\nWe’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.\nJoin us if you want to\nTake ownership: you are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1\n\nWork in small teams of exceptional people: Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions\n\nBuild the best technology in-house: we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting\n\nWe’re looking for a full-stack Python engineer to join our Central Operations team.\nCentral Ops sits across our core products (Cards, Loans and Motor), focusing on shared operational challenges and opportunities. We build a mix of internally facing web applications and robust automations to help our Operations teams deliver great outcomes for customers, efficiently and at scale.\nIt’s a broad space: Operations makes up roughly half of our employee headcount and covers everything from day-to-day customer support up to complex areas like Fraud and Fincrime prevention. As our customer base grows rapidly, our role is to help ops keep pace without relying solely on headcount growth. We make intelligent, pragmatic use of AI where it adds real value, working closely with Product, Data Science and Analytics to deploy solutions that genuinely support our ops agents.\nYou’ll have real ownership from an engineering perspective, shipping features that are used daily by Ops teams. It’s an evolving space at Lendable, and what you build will help shape both our tools and our technical direction.\nSome examples of things we’ve built recently:\nRebuilt our Ops QA admin system from the ground up, replacing an off-the-shelf tool with something tailored to our needs\n\nDeployed a pipeline to summarise customer calls into concise notes using LLMs, automatically surfaced in ops admin panels - removing the need for manual note-writing\n\nMore than doubled the number of complaints processed by agents through a combination of targeted AI automation and improved UX\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nWe’d consider the following essential to the role:\nYou have 8+ years of professional experience as a software engineer\n\nSolid experience with Python in a web application context. You have some experience with web frameworks like FastAPI, Django or Flask. We use FastAPI.\n\nExperience with Javascript/Typescript and a modern JS framework such as React, Angular or Vue.js. We generally use React & NextJS. You can build a frontend that's good enough for internal tooling\n\nStrong engineering principles & practices: design patterns, testing, clean code and a good reviewer\n\nPrevious experience working in a product-focused team\n\nA keen desire to want to learn and input into a highly collaborative team\n\nYou use AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, Claude or others in your day-to-day coding\n\nThe following are also a plus, but by no means essential. If you don’t meet all of these, please apply anyway!\nExposure to Domain Driven Design, Message-Driven Systems and Event Sourcing\n\nExperience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS\n\nSQL, and finding your way around data schemas\n\nShipping containerised software with Argo, Kubernetes, Docker and Terraform\n\nInterview process\nA 30 minute introductory call\n\nTake Home Task\n\nTechnical Interview\n\nCultural/behavioural interview\n\nLife at Lendable\nWinning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies\n\nFlexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role. Hybrid roles require three days in-office weekly; fully remote roles include regular opportunities for in-person connection through socials and off-sites\n\nSocials & connection: opportunities and events to come together, socialise, and get to know each other beyond the office walls\n\nHealth coverage: support for your physical and mental wellbeing, including private health cover\n\nRetirement & savings: long-term financial wellbeing through retirement savings plans\n\nEmployee referral programme: earn a competitive bonus when you refer successful new team members\n\nOffice meals & snacks: enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, plus complimentary lunches prepared by in-house chefs on in-office days at select locations\n\nSustainable commuting: cycle-to-work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes available in select locations\n\nPlease note: The availability and details of specific benefits vary by location and role.
