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 have an opening for a Senior React Native Engineer to join our Mexico expansion team, helping to spearhead the initial greenfield build of a new mobile finance app that aims to further our international growth.
We’re looking for someone excited by the idea of joining a small cross-functional product team with a startup mindset, operating within a successful and profitable Fintech business, to support the initial build of a new product offering for a new market.
Our ideal candidate is comfortable building relationships with other established product teams to understand where we can use existing learnings to influence decisions and align on approaches, collaborating with backend engineers to guide and agree API behaviours and expectations through documented contracts, and working closely with product designers to agree on MVP requirements.

You have a product mindset. Working with product owners to break down business requirements into deliverable tasks and estimate the complexity of their implementation. You can quickly identify the difficulties of implementing a feature from an initial design wireframe or outline spec and are comfortable putting forward alternative approaches where appropriate
You take ownership of your work, ensuring progress by proactively communicating blockers, seeking feedback, and driving tasks to completion. You actively engage in team ceremonies and collaborate to keep projects moving forward.

You’ve built and launched new products and grown the audience
You have in-depth experience of mobile performance best practices and debugging

A quick video call with a member of our talent team to learn more about you
A 30-minute video call with the hiring manager to discuss your experience and answer any initial technical questions you have about the role
A short React Native coding exercise to complete in your own time
Final interviews
A technical session with your peers where you’ll discuss your solution to the exercise, talk through some problems and scenarios, and dig deeper into your technical experience
