Lendable is on a mission to make consumer finance amazing: faster, cheaper, and friendlier. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
One of the UK’s newest unicorns with a team of just over 500 people
Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK
Profitable since 2017
Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs
Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)
So 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.
We’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.
Take ownership across a broad remit. You are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1
Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo
Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
We are looking to diversify our engineering team internationally and are looking for permanent employees who currently live and work in the Cape Town area. The role will be predominantly remote with quarterly visits to London (paid for by us). We even have an amazing VP of Engineering based in Cape Town who will organise regular get-togethers and team meet-ups. You will be employed via an EOR set up, which will cover all your employment needs.
We’re looking for a well-rounded PHP engineer who knows the ropes of modern PHP development, while Symfony is their go-to framework. This team is tasked with the future of credit at Lendable and tackles some of the toughest and most challenging credit markets globally - across the UK, US and Latin America.
There’s much to do, from security-first API integrations with fraud detection and asset management systems, repurposing in-house-built credit card systems for new markets, integrating with developing underwriting models and third-party reporting automation to identifying the value of collected data and leveraging it for better credit decisions.
