Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of hands-on software experience, with 3+ years leading teams in high-scale consumer-facing environments (preferably fintech or regulated)
- Solid web development chops in React and JavaScript — extra points for hands-on React Native experience building mobile apps
- You care deeply about UX and performance — not just what your app does, but how it feels
- You’ve led engineers through ambiguity and helped them grow without hand-holding
- You think like a product owner, not just a delivery lead. You ask why before what, and what before how
- You’re a builder at heart: you move fast, cut scope thoughtfully, and take pride in seeing something go live
- You’re fluent in experimentation — A/B testing, analytics, behavioral metrics — and want to know what’s working and why
- You’re excited about what AI can do inside the mobile experience, and how it can elevate our speed, our personalization, and our magic
- And finally: you’re relentlessly curious. You solve problems for fun. You explore tools and build side projects even when no one asks
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Sr Manager of UI and Mobile Engineering to help shape the next generation of mobile banking experiences at LendingClub
- You’ll lead the team responsible for building the engaging, high-performance mobile experiences that millions of customers rely on — to manage debt, avoid fees, save money, and make smarter financial decisions every day
- You’ll join at a pivotal moment — helping us scale new products, work with former founders and top-tier talent, and get new capabilities into the hands of millions of people fast
- If you care about great mobile engineering, meaningful consumer outcomes, and working with people who move with urgency and heart — this might be your next home
- You'll ead a high-performing team of mobile, web, and backend engineers (10–15) focused on delivering intuitive, reliable, and engaging mobile experiences that directly impact customer outcomes
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and AI teams to create smarter, more personalized, and data-driven features across debt, banking, and credit tools
- Own full-cycle development, from feature ideation through production deployment, using technologies like React Native, Swift/Kotlin for mobile, React for web, and backend services (Java, Scala, Python)
- Set and uphold high technical standards for performance, scalability, accessibility, and secure development — and hold the line on code quality
- Mentor, coach, and hire world-class engineers, building a culture of curiosity, ownership, and continuous improvement
- Bring cross-functional alignment, working across Design, Risk, Security, and Compliance to ensure we ship fast and responsibly
- Champion instrumentation and experimentation, making sure every experience we ship can be measured, learned from, and improved
- Continuously refine how we build, adapting our delivery practices to scale cleanly — without losing speed, soul, or focus
