What you'll be doing

Build on top of our AI cloud coding agent

  • Build the core of our AI harness

  • Enable capabilities in these agents for specification, testing, and service reliability

  • Work with security and data governance requirements to ensure the agents are secure and have access to the appropriate data

Enable others to build with AI

  • Encourage teams to level up their AI Software development processes

  • Enable teams to build AI actors that plug into the SDLC

  • Help teams measure the impact AI is having on the development process

  • Transplant good ideas and processes from one team to other teams in the organization

What we're looking for

Essential

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience in a mid-to-large-size organisation

  • Experience of building AI tooling to improve developer experience (devex)

  • The ability to influence how people work across multiple teams

  • Proven experience building AI tooling used by others in a commercial environment

  • Strong full-stack skills in TypeScript

  • Frontend skills with Next.js or React to build an interface for engineers

  • Strong AI knowledge — LLMs, embeddings, MCPs, RAG, evals, agentic platforms

  • Experience of building infrastructure to support your systems in production using IaC, k8s or lambda functions

  • Self-starter who takes ownership end-to-end — from understanding the problem, through design and implementation, to monitoring and iteration

  • Motivated by impact — you want to see your work used and know it's making a difference

Nice to have

  • Experience with Cloudflare infrastructure

  • Experience with monitoring tools such as Datadog, Sentry, Grafana

  • Experience with creating guardrails for products: SLOs, DORA metrics

How you'll work

You’ll be part of a small core team that works with engineering representatives from across the company. We have a vision of how we can accelerate the engineering process with AI, and you’ll be working with this group to complete the plan. We will also experiment and adapt the plan as new AI tooling and approaches emerge.

We value shipping and learning over perfection. The goal is always to deliver something useful, learn from how it's used, and improve. You won't be directly client-facing, but your work will directly impact colleagues across the business — and you'll hear about it when something you built makes their day easier.

Why join?

  • See your work make a difference This isn't a team where your code disappears into a monolith. You'll build something, ship it and get instant feedback from developers. Every integration and tool you ship has a direct line to engineering efficiency.

  • High leverage A small core team means your contributions have outsized impact. No layers, fast decisions, real ownership.

  • Build new things We're building a platform from the ground up, not maintaining legacy systems. You'll shape how AI gets used across Lendable.

  • Work at the frontier AI tooling is moving fast. You'll work with the latest in agentic AI, workflow orchestration and LLM tooling — applied to real problems, not just proof-of-concepts.

Lendable is the premier, AI-powered consumer finance platform and automated underwriting powerhouse engineered to operate as the definitive, high-velocity credit infrastructure layer for the modern digital lending economy. Functioning as a mission-critical financial automation engine and one of the UK's largest consumer finance providers, the company eliminates the severe systemic friction of traditional retail banking—where borrowers face slow multi-day manual credit checks, rigid non-personalized pricing bands, and complex onboarding overhead—by deploying a proprietary machine learning transactional engine. Moving far beyond legacy risk matrices, Lendable unifies sub-second risk modeling, Open Banking digital ledger extractions, and instant automated disbursement pipelines into a single high-performance lending workspace. The platform empowers prime and near-prime consumers to secure personal loans, credit cards, and car finance within minutes while serving as the underlying white-label credit engine for massive third-party brands like Asda Money and the Post Office. Under the hood, its sophisticated cloud-native architecture—backed by over £1.6 billion in funding from elite institutions like the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board and Goldman Sachs—natively orchestrates automated credit data ingestion, real-time fraud telemetry matching, and instant variable recurring payment (VRP) setups. What sets Lendable apart is its uncompromising dedication to completely friction-free capital distribution; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive transaction tracking and instant, consumer-grade financial checkouts, the firm enables modern scaling credit ecosystems to maximize capital allocation efficiency, eliminate underwriting bottlenecks, and scale operations across international markets.
