Senior Data Platform Engineer | London, UK
2 Days Old
About Lendable
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 600 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.
