Lendable is on a mission to make consumer finance amazing: faster, cheaper, and friendlier. 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 500 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)
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.
Take ownership across a broad remit. 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, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo
Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
We’re looking for a Senior React Native Engineer to join our cross-functional team and build new product experiences in our established Zable App, used by over 500,000 customers on iOS and Android. Over the next year, we have big plans for our app, including new products and bringing Zable to a new audience.
We are scaling our dev team to match our ambition, and we’re looking for talented people to help us experiment and succeed in these new areas. In addition to feature work, we also focus heavily on improving performance, reducing tech debt, and improving scalability.
Our ideal engineer is detail-focused, resourceful, and keen to understand the bigger picture outside of their product team. They contribute to wider engineering and business initiatives that help us scale our UK and US-based products as we continue to grow.
