- Passion for coaching, mentoring, and developing a team of engineers with diverse backgrounds and varying experience levels
- The ability to solve problems in more than one language, and know exactly why one of them is better

What the job involves
- As a Team Lead, you’ll be managing a team of engineers in designing and implementing technical solutions to business problems. You’ll be working closely with Product Management, Analytics, Sales and Operations, as well as collaborating with other Software Engineering teams to deliver business value

Our take
Providing customers with quick access to credit is important for fintech companies to survive in today's financial landscape of open banking, but this is made difficult by high credit rejection rates from banks. However, these decisions are generally made by human assessments of data which are limited due to the complexity of the modern financial landscape. AI-driven solutions, able to analyse vast amounts of data almost instantly to derive accurate credit risk assessments, present room for improvement in the lending industry.
Enova provides a platform called Colossus that leverages AI and machine learning-enabled analytics to provide businesses and individuals with fast, reliable, and trustworthy credit. The company achieves this by partnering with banks and sharing its data analysis solutions, helping to identify opportunities for credit when they would otherwise be missed. There is definitely a market for its product: over 13M customers have funded almost $65B through the platform to date.
Enova has grown strongly in recent years based on the rapid uptake of its product. As the macroeconomic climate remains volatile, businesses will increasingly come to rely on Enova's AI-based solutions to help them manage credit risk and navigate an increasingly complex lending environment.
