- You have a good understanding of the different needs of mobile users across a variety of platforms and devices
- You are experienced with current automated testing approaches, and take a pragmatic approach to implementing and improving the various phases of the testing pyramid
- You have a product mindset and are comfortable working with product owners to break down business requirements into deliverable tasks and estimate the complexity of their implementation
- You’ve used GraphQL in a production environment
- You have experience of mobile performance best practices and debugging

- You have experience of UI or UX design and you feel at ease discussing approaches with product designers
- You’ve built, or worked on, products that have scaled from zero users to tens or hundreds of thousands (or more), and can apply what you learnt in new contexts
What the job involves
- 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

- We are scaling our dev team up to match our ambition and we’re looking for talented people to help us experiment and succeed in these new areas
- Alongside feature work we also put a big focus on improving performance, reducing tech debt, and improving scalability
- Our ideal engineer is detail focused and resourceful, and keen to understand the bigger picture outside of their product team, contributing to wider engineering and business initiatives that help us scale our UK and US based products as we continue to grow

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.
