Role

Who you are

Strong, modern PHP development experience (PHP 8.0+ is a must)
A good understanding of a modern PHP framework like Symfony or Laravel
Any experience with Domain Driven Design, Message-Driven Systems and Event Sourcing would be a plus
Experience with microservices would be a plus
Strong automatic testing skills (unit, integration, functional)
A keen desire to want to learn and input into a highly collaborative team
If you’ve worked in a cross functional environment, it would be a plus but not needed

What the job involves

We’re looking for a PHP engineer to join our US Loans engineering team
Our current team is around 15 engineers made up of backend, frontend and platform engineers
They work alongside a further 100+ people across the rest of our engineering function
There’s a lot to do, from building and integrating new APIs to further improve the customer journey and optimising the lending platform to deep architectural discussions
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

Application process

A quick phone call with one of the team
A short coding exercise to complete in your own time
Onsite or Video Interview: Discuss the exercise you completed and meet the team you’ll work with daily

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.
