Company mission

To make consumer finance amazing: faster, cheaper and friendlier.

Role

Who you are

  • Strong, modern PHP development experience (PHP 8.0+ is a must)
  • A good understanding of a modern PHP framework like Symfony or Laravel
  • Any experience with Domain Driven Design, Message-Driven Systems and Event Sourcing would be a plus
  • Experience with microservices would be a plus
  • Strong automatic testing skills (unit, integration, functional)
  • A keen desire to want to learn and input into a highly collaborative team
  • If you’ve worked in a cross functional environment, it would be a plus but not needed

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for a Senior PHP engineer to join our Zable Card engineering team
  • Our current team is around 15 engineers made up of backend, frontend and platform engineers. They work alongside a further 100+ people across the rest of our engineering function
  • There’s a lot to do, from building and integrating new APIs to further improve the customer journey and optimising the lending platform to deep architectural discussions

Application process

  • A quick phone call with one of the team
  • A short coding exercise to complete in your own time
  • Onsite or Video Interview: Discuss the exercise you completed and meet the team you’ll work with daily

Salary benchmarks

Our take

Lendable competes with banks, other marketplace lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans to consumers, small businesses, and property developers. Last year the UK marketplace lenders loaned £7.3bn in total.

Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and its strong financials. Unlike Zopa, RateSetter, or Lending Works, their funding comes from institutional investors.

It originates and services the loans on behalf of institutional investors, but does not hold them on its own balance sheet.

Growing insolvencies will worry all marketplace lending platforms, but Lendable looks well placed to weather any credit storm given their substantial debt financing.
