Senior Engineer - Servicing Team

We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks. At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start‑up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts. We’re a high‑performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs – because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better. The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy.

The role:

• Location: London (Hybrid) | 2 days in the office | Competitive Salary + Benefits

We are looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Loan Servicing team within our Product Engineering department. Our Servicing team build the systems that keep our loans moving. As a senior engineer, you’ll play a critical role in evolving our loan infrastructure, ensuring accuracy, speed and simplicity. Our team are keen problem solvers, collaborators and innovators. This is a brilliant opportunity to get involved in a team that are core to what our customers experience once they take out a product with Funding Circle.

You love working in a complex problem domain where you can have a real and substantial impact on the business. You have an interest or experience in relational databases, automated testing, microservices and/or event‑driven architecture. You are a keen collaborator – you love to pair and believe that working together is smarter than working in a silo. You are a teacher – generous with your time and expertise to teach stakeholders and our fellow engineers how to answer their own questions, and can explain complex problems simply. You proactively problem solve, identify and confidently mitigate risks, issues or address weaknesses that arise in your day‑to‑day. You have a strong sense of initiative, seeking out answers where they may not immediately be clear and driving clarity from ambiguity.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience working in Ruby or Python
• Strong fundamental programming skills
• Ability to quickly grasp and understand complex back end systems
• It’s beneficial, but not essential if you have an interest in working with complex mathematical problems.

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.

Why join us?

• We back you to build an incredible career. As a flexible‑first employer, we use a "best of both" approach. We’ll see you in our London office to collaborate – with barista coffee and subsidised Just Eat lunches on us!
• Our Circler Proposition focuses on five areas:

• Flexibility: We provide a benefit allowance you can tailor to your own life and family.
• Health: This includes private medical and dental, health assessments, and access to a digital GP.
• Wealth: We offer life assurance, share schemes, and financial coaching.
• Development: You get a dedicated annual learning allowance to help you level up.
• Lifestyle: We have electric car and cycle‑to‑work schemes, plus season ticket loans.
