Job description

Описание:

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)

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.

Требования:

• 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
• We're seeking passionate engineers who are excited to contribute and grow with us: Strong, business oriented, engineer with modern PHP development experience (PHP 8.0+ is a must). You're fluent in the latest PHP features and best practices.
• A solid grasp of Symfony or Laravel.
• Experience with Domain Driven Design, CQRS, Message-Driven Systems, and Event Sourcing.
• Familiarity with microservices architecture and working on financial systems is a bonus.
• Excellent automated testing skills (unit, integration, functional) - you believe in quality code.
• A genuine desire to learn, collaborate, and contribute your ideas within a highly collaborative team.
• High degree of ownership and autonomy.
• Experience in a cross-functional environment is a plus, but not essential.
