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 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

About The Role We’re looking for a Senior React Native Engineer to join our cross-functional team building 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. New products and bringing Zable to a new audience. We are scaling our dev team up to match our ambition and we’re looking for talented people to help us experiment and succeed in these new areas.

Alongside feature work we also put a big focus on improving performance, reducing tech debt, and improving scalability. Our ideal engineer is detail focused and resourceful, and keen to understand the bigger picture outside of their product team, contributing to wider engineering and business initiatives that help us scale our UK and US based products as we continue to grow.
