ABOUT LENDABLE
Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
- One of the UK’s most exciting unicorns with a team of over 800 people
- Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK
- Profitable since 2017
- Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs
- Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/lendable.co.uk)
So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.
We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.
JOIN US IF YOU WANT TO
- Take ownership: you are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1
- Work in small teams of exceptional people: Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions
- Build the best technology in-house: we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
About the role
We'd love for you to become a key part of our Python Infrastructure team; a collaborative group that's always pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
In this role, you'll get to do it all: designing and integrating powerful new APIs that genuinely improve our customers' experience, optimising our lending platforms for performance and scale, and diving into the kind of deep architectural conversations that engineers get excited about.
No two days look the same here.
We're building something great, and we're looking for the right people to grow with us. If that sounds like you, we can't wait to hear from you.

What we’re looking for

- A good understanding of a modern web framework - FastAPI
- Strong automatic testing skills (unit, integration, functional)

Interview process
- A quick phone call with one of the team
- A short coding exercise to complete in your own time
- Technical Video Interview for 60 mins
- Meet the team you’ll work with daily
- Culture interview for 30mins
