Role

Who you are

Pragmatism: You understand the difference between partnering with Engineering and security being a blocker of progress
Communication: You can translate a complex vulnerability into a business risk for a Product Manager and a technical fix for an Engineer
AppSec Subject Matter Expertise: You have a strong understanding of critical security risks in applications, are able to identify them in code, and provide recommendations of how to remediate
Cloud Native: Strong experience securing AWS/GCP environments and containerised workloads
AI ready: You understand the unique risks of AI and have experience securing AI-driven workflows

What the job involves

As our Cyber Security Engineer, you will be the bridge between Security and Engineering. You aren't here to block deployments; you’re here to ensure our code is resilient by design. You will empower our developers to ship fast without breaking the trust of our customers or regulators
Secure the Pipeline: Integrate and automate SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling directly into our CI/CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production
Harden the Product: Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) assisting engineers with the remediation of security vulnerabilities and bugs
Safeguard AI: Design and implement security guardrails for AI-assisted development and LLM integrations, ensuring data privacy and preventing prompt injection or model leakage
Threat Modelling: Partner with Product and Engineering teams to conduct threat modelling sessions for new features before they are built
Security Architecture: Act as a consultant for infrastructure and application design, ensuring our AWS/GCP Kubernetes environments remain hardened
Security Culture: Cultivate a Secure Development guild to level up our developers' secure coding skills

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.
