Senior Kotlin Engineer (Remote)

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: \nAmong the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK\n \n \So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. 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. \nBuild the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting\n \As we continue to build upon the diversity of our team we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring on board a Senior Kotlin engineer to a newly forming pod. This is an opportunity to bring new experience, perspective and capabilities to our design discussions, helping shape our approach to delivering elegant solutions to complex engineering challenges as we continue to grow. This is the team that put the Tech in FinTech, our current tech team is around 80 strong and have helped transform finance by building a next-generation lending platform, a next-gen credit card, and auto-finance product, and they’re at it again with brand new product launches this year. \We're looking for an engineer with a depth of knowledge and recent hands-on Kotlin experience that enables them to not only deliver elegant, idiomatic solutions in Kotlin but also to contribute new knowledge and experience to our frequent collaborative design forums with stakeholders from every area of the business. \There’s a lot to do, from building and integrating new API’s to help build out our new collections function to creating new internal tools and supporting our expansion of new products and supporting services in the US. \We believe that software engineering is more than just code - it’s about people. That fundamentally great software engineering is about alignment, sharing what we know and being nice to each other. When we put all this together we make software engineering better by continually improving our capabilities as a team and making our working environment a happy and productive place. \There is more to read about us and our Lendies in the engineering blog right here and if you’d like to check our reviews out on Glassdoor you can see these here. \Our Tech Stack \Frontend \nReact & React Native, TypeScript, MobX, Redux, Stylus and SASS\n \nWe build our Kotlin projects using Gradle and GitHub Actions, deploying to production as soon as we finish a feature\n \n \nStrong commercial Kotlin experience\n \n \nExperience and understanding of databases; relational databases are a must, NoSql would be nice too\n \n \nBe able to quickly understand complex, financial business domains\n \n \nUnderstand different software architectures rapidly\n \n \nUnderstanding of the Kanban agile methodology; nSomeone who can solve problems on their own but also knows when to go to their peers for help\n \n \nSomeone who is a pragmatist who can sensibly weigh the tradeoffs between code quality and delivery\n \nA short coding exercise to complete in your own time\n \n \nOnsite or Video Interview lasting 60-90 minutes, comprising of:\n \n \nDiscussion around the coding exercise you completed\n \n \nTech project walkthrough\n \n \We also have an engineering blog where we have written in more detail how we work in the engineering team. \nThe opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies\n \n \nBest-in-class compensation including equity\n \n \nYou can work from home every Monday and Friday if you wish - on the other days we all come together IRL to be together, build and exchange ideas\n \n \nOur in-house chef prepares fresh, healthy lunch in the office every Tuesday-Thursday\n \n \nEncouraged and sponsored personal and team growth through our training budget, 10% time for all engineers and active guilds\n \nWinning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies\n \n \nFlexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role.
