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.

Join us if you want to
  1. 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

  2. Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo

  3. Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting

About the Role

As a Senior PHP Engineer, you'll be a key player in our engineering organisation, a vibrant community of over 140 talented engineers spanning backend, frontend, mobile, and platform disciplines. This isn't just about maintaining; it's about innovating. You'll dive into a wide range of exciting projects, from building and integrating new APIs that elevate the customer journey to optimising our cutting-edge lending platforms. You'll also engage in deep architectural discussions, shaping the future of our products. There's ample opportunity to grow, contribute, and truly make your mark.

Our Modern Tech Stack

We believe in using the right tools for the job, and our stack reflects our commitment to modern, efficient development:

  • Backend: PHP 8, Symfony, AWS, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes

  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions and ArgoCD (we deploy to production as soon as a feature is complete!)

  • Testing: Behat, PHPUnit for robust automated testing

What We're Looking For

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 a modern PHP framework like Symfony or Laravel.

  • Experience with Domain Driven Design, Message-Driven Systems, and Event Sourcing is a significant plus.

  • 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.

Interview Process

We value your time and have designed an efficient process to get to know you:

  1. A quick phone call with one of our team members.

  2. A practical coding exercise to complete at your convenience.

  3. A technical interview to discuss your coding exercise and dive deeper into your skills.

  4. A culture add interview to see how you'd thrive within our team.

Life at Lendable
  • The opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies.

  • Best-in-class compensation, including equity.

  • You can work from home every Monday and Friday if you wish - on the other days, those based in the UK come together IRL at our Shoreditch office in London to be together, build and exchange ideas.

  • Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks in the office every Tuesday-Thursday.

  • We care for our Lendies’ well-being both physically and mentally, so we offer coverage when it comes to private health insurance

  • We're an equal-opportunity employer and are looking to make Lendable the most inclusive and open workspace in London

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
