We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:One of the UK’s newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 peopleAmong the fastest-growing tech companies in the UKProfitable since 2017Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman SachsLoved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)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 toTake ownership across a broad remit.

As our customer base grows rapidly, our role is to help ops keep pace without relying solely on headcount growth. We make intelligent, pragmatic use of AI where it adds real value, working closely with Product, Data Science and Analytics to deploy solutions that genuinely support our ops agents.You’ll have real ownership from an engineering perspective, shipping features that are used daily by Ops teams. It’s an evolving space at Lendable, and what you build will help shape both our tools and our technical direction.Some examples of things we’ve built recently:Rebuilt our Ops QA admin system from the ground up, replacing an off-the-shelf tool with something tailored to our needsDeployed a pipeline to summarise customer calls into concise notes using LLMs, automatically surfaced in ops admin panels — removing the need for manual note-writingMore than doubled the number of complaints processed by agents through a combination of targeted AI automation and improved UXWhat we’re looking forWe’d consider the following essential to the role:Solid experience with Python in a web application context.
