Our ideal candidate is an experienced and resourceful engineer, comfortable building relationships with other established product teams to understand where we can use existing learnings to influence decisions and align on approaches, collaborating with frontend engineers to guide and agree API behaviours and expectations through documented contracts, and working closely with product stakeholders to agree on MVP requirements
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 a modern PHP framework like Symfony or Laravel
Experience with Domain Driven Design, Message-Driven Systems, Event Sourcing and CQRS
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

Desirable

Familiarity with microservices architecture and working on financial systems is a bonus
You have experimented with AI tooling to accelerate your own, and others, productivity, and can discuss the positives and negatives of different approaches and tools
Experience in a cross-functional environment

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Senior PHP Engineer to join our Mexico expansion team, helping to drive us towards the launch of a new mobile finance product that aims to further our international growth

Application process

A short video call with one of our team members to learn more about each other, and answer any initial questions you have about the role
A short practical coding exercise to complete in your own time
A technical session with your peers where you’ll discuss your solution to the exercise, talk through some problems and scenarios, and dig deeper into your technical experience
An interview with an Engineering Manager to explore your motivations and goals, assess how you could play a part in your team’s success, and better understand how we could help you thrive in your role

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.
