Company mission
To make consumer finance amazing: faster, cheaper and friendlier.
Role
Who you are
- Experience in Finance or related industry
- Track record in developing with modern PHP standards (Java-like)
- Good familiarity with code quality tools from the likes of PHPStan, Psalm, PHPArkitect and others
- Deep understanding of testing techniques with PHPUnit and Behat
- Data-oriented mindset
- Enthusiastic about AI and how to leverage AI tools to improve development’s speed and quality
- Being a self-starter and naturally looking to unblock themselves before reaching out to others; A person with critical thinking who collaborates with our non-engineering colleagues and refines the actual product with them
What the job involves
- 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 in Lendable and tackles the toughest and most challenging credit market in 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
Application process
- A quick phone call with one of the team
- A take-home coding task that we expect you to take between 2 to 5 hours of your own time
- Two on-site or video interviews:
- Discuss with other engineers the coding task you completed
- Meet people (like the line manager) from the team you’ll work with
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other marketplace lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans to consumers, small businesses, and property developers. Last year the UK marketplace lenders loaned £7.3bn in total.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and its strong financials. Unlike Zopa, RateSetter, or Lending Works, their funding comes from institutional investors.
It originates and services the loans on behalf of institutional investors, but does not hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all marketplace lending platforms, but Lendable looks well placed to weather any credit storm given their substantial debt financing.
