Role
Who you are
- We're seeking passionate engineers who are excited to contribute and grow with us:
- Strong, business oriented, engineer with modern PHP development experience (PHP 8.0+ is a must). You're fluent in the latest PHP features and best practices
- A solid grasp of Symfony or Laravel
- Experience with Domain Driven Design, CQRS, Message-Driven Systems, and Event Sourcing
- Familiarity with microservices architecture and working on financial systems is a bonus
- Excellent automated testing skills (unit, integration, functional) - you believe in quality code
- A genuine desire to learn, collaborate, and contribute your ideas within a highly collaborative team
- High degree of ownership and autonomy
- Experience in a cross-functional environment is a plus, but not essential

- This isn't just about maintaining; it's about innovating. You'll dive into a wide range of exciting projects, from building and integrating new APIs that elevate the customer journey to optimising our cutting-edge lending platforms
- You'll also engage in deep architectural discussions, shaping the future of our products. There's ample opportunity to grow, contribute, and truly make your mark
- We believe in using the right tools for the job, and our stack reflects our commitment to modern, efficient development:
- Backend: PHP 8, Symfony, AWS, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions and ArgoCD (we deploy to production as soon as a feature is complete!)
- Testing: Behat, PHPUnit for robust automated testing
Application process

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other lenders, and consumer finance companies to make finance and credit easier to access for all consumers. Streamlining the loan application process, the company cuts personalised rates and fund transfers from days to minutes.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and strong financials. Part of its success is due to its funding coming from institutional investors. Lendable originates and services its loans on behalf of institutional investors, but doesn't hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all lending platforms, but Lendable looks well-placed to weather any credit storm given its substantial debt financing. With fresh funding, this profitable fintech unicorn is poised to make credit access easier for consumers. And with the launch of two new products in the US, Lendable is certainly in a good position for more growth.
