Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start. Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards, and car finance. We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do as we go 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.
As we continue to build upon the diversity of our team, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring on board a Senior Kotlin/JVM Engineer. This is an opportunity to bring new experience, perspective, and capabilities to our design discussions, helping shape our approach to delivering elegant solutions to complex engineering challenges as we continue to grow. Our current tech team is around 80 strong and has helped transform finance by building a next-generation lending platform, a next-gen credit card, and an auto-finance product, and they’re at it again with brand new product launches this year.
We're looking for an engineer with a depth of knowledge and recent hands-on Kotlin experience or JVM-based engineering experience that enables them to not only deliver elegant, idiomatic solutions in Kotlin or Java but also to contribute new knowledge and experience to our frequent collaborative design forums with stakeholders from every area of the business. Responsibilities include building and integrating new APIs, tuning our existing services as they scale, supporting our expansion of new products, and supporting services in the US.
We believe that software engineering is more than just code - it’s about people. Fundamentally great software engineering is about alignment, sharing what we know, and being nice to each other. When we put all this together, we make software engineering better by continually improving our capabilities as a team and making our working environment a happy and productive place.
Our Tech Stack includes:
- Kotlin 1.7.20
- AWS
- Frontend: React
- Relational databases are a must; NoSQL would be nice too
We seek someone who can quickly understand complex financial business domains, understand different software architectures rapidly, and has an understanding of the Kanban agile methodology. We value problem solvers who can work independently but also know when to seek help from peers. We appreciate pragmatists who can sensibly weigh the trade-offs between code quality and delivery.
We offer the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies with a flexible working 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.
