Company mission

Enova's mission is to help hardworking businesses and individuals get access to fast, trustworthy credit through its AI-driven credit solutions.

Role

Who you are

  • 4+ years of experience doing full-stack development in Ruby on Rails
  • 2+ years of experience with any or all of the following: Golang, Postgres, Kafka, Terraform, or the AWS toolkit
  • A solid understanding of how to support and troubleshoot your apps in production, and experience with some of the popular observability tools like Splunk or Datadog
  • Familiarity with an Agile development cycle and high deployment velocity
  • Experience collaborating with product managers to plan and scope products iteratively
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience

What the job involves

  • Enova got its start as a Rails shop, and it’s still a big part of the picture
  • As a Senior Rails developer, you will work on both older and newer applications, and contribute to making the system more scalable and resilient
  • You will team up with technical and business stakeholders, advocate for a high quality codebase, and eliminate roadblocks
  • You'll also enhance our collaborative environment by supporting the engineers on your team through mentorship and knowledge sharing

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 8 million customers have funded almost $50 billion 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.
