Company mission
To make consumer finance amazing: faster, cheaper and friendlier.
Role
Who you are
- Strong Python engineering skills, comfortable building production-grade systems
- Hands-on experience using LLMs in real workflows
- Ability to design, evaluate, and iterate on prompts, retrieval pipelines, and agentic flows
- Understanding of business processes and an instinct for simplifying or automating them
- Comfortable working with ambiguity, quickly testing hypotheses, and refining ideas with partial information
- Skilled at breaking poorly defined problems into structured steps and deciding when/how to bring AI into the loop
- Clear communicator who can articulate trade-offs and influence stakeholders
What the job involves
- We are seeking an AI Engineer to join our Data Science team where we’re building our capabilities to service our customer operations with Generative AI, including a chatbot that supports customer service, various schema extraction tools automating document parsing, and more agentic process automation
- You will own the systems that safely streamline business processes using LLMs and generative AI. You’ll work on projects including:
- Improving our internal chatbot that supports customer ops
- Expanding our in-house schema extraction pipelines for faster, more accurate document parsing automation
- Designing LLM-driven workflows that streamline various case management workflows
- Identifying new opportunities where GenAI can radically simplify how we operate
- This role blends applied AI engineering, business-process design, and hands-on Python development. You’ll be working on problems that don’t have perfect definitions, where ambiguity is normal and creativity is essential
- Build real, production GenAI systems - not demos - that directly shape how a leading fintech operates
- Work with LLMs, retrieval systems, agents, and automation pipelines on a daily basis
- Own your solutions from idea → prototype → production deployment → monitoring
- Work in small, autonomous teams that ship fast and give you real decision-making power
- Redesign legacy processes from scratch using AI instead of patching around them
- Bring curiosity, resourcefulness, and a desire to replace manual work with smarter systems

- Take-home exercise

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.
