About the company Our mission is that "Any financial application can onboard any user, anywhere in the world, in 1 click." Transak provides onboarding to financial applications through authentication, KYC, risk checks, and fiat on/off ramps. This is a next generation of infrastructure for the next generation of financial applications that are built on blockchain and stablecoin rails. Our API and widget-based solutions are used by top partners like MetaMask, Coinbase, Ledger, and Trust Wallet to enable seamless onboarding of over 10 million users across over 450 active applications. We have raised over $37M from top-tier investors including Consensys, Tether, and Animoca Brands About the role Transak's Fiat/Payments team builds and operates the rails that move money between traditional banking systems and crypto - ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, wires, virtual accounts, and card rails. As an SDE 3, you will own critical, high-throughput payment microservices end-to-end: design, build, scale, and operate systems that move real money for users across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, with US,UK/EU regulatory and global banking-partner requirements as a core part of the job. This is a senior individual-contributor role calibrated against SDE 3 / Senior Engineer, driving architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and being the go-to owner for a payments domain, while staying hands-on in code daily. Key Responsibilities Payment Systems Ownership & Architecture Own payment microservices end-to-end - design, build, deploy, and operate Node.js services (orders, payment, reconciliation, virtual accounts, payout orchestration) handling real-time financial transactions at scale. Design for correctness and failure: idempotent, retry-safe, reconciliable systems where every transaction is traceable, auditable, and recoverable (partial failures, webhook replays, duplicate detection, distributed state machines). Architect for scale and resilience across a distributed microservices architecture; make service-boundary and build-vs-buy decisions; address root causes rather than symptoms. Banking & Partner Integrations Drive integrations with banking and payment partners (e.g. banking and card providers / risk providers) - API contracts, webhook handling, sandbox-to-production rollout, and reconciliation logic across multiple rails (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, wires). Work with Risk, Compliance on KYC, AML, and fraud-control touchpoints in the payment flow. Infrastructure, CI/CD & Operations Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) - automated testing, blue/green or canary deployments, and rollback strategies for services that cannot tolerate downtime or data loss. Operate infrastructure on AWS (ECS/EKS, Lambda, SQS/SNS, RDS, CloudWatch); contribute to infra-as-code, monitoring, alerting, and on-call runbooks for payment-critical systems. Optimize the data layer: schema design and query performance in MongoDB, caching and rate-limiting strategies with Redis, and safe migration patterns for high-volume transactional collections. Participate in on-call for payment-critical services, including incident response and postmortems. Technical Leadership & Collaboration Lead technical roadmaps - break down large, ambiguous payments initiatives into shippable milestones; write design docs/RFCs; drive consensus across Engineering, Product, Risk, and Operations. Mentor and raise the bar - review code and designs, coach mid-level engineers, and help hire and grow the team. Uphold security and compliance best practices for handling PII/financial data in a regulated, PCI-DSS-adjacent environment. What We're Looking For 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant portion building backend/distributed systems; prior experience in fintech, payments, on-and-offramp provider, or banking infrastructure strongly preferred. Strong hands-on expertise in Node.js (TypeScript preferred) for performant, production-grade backend services. Deep experience with MongoDB - schema design, aggregation pipelines, indexing strategy, and performance tuning at scale. Proficiency with Redis - caching, distributed locks, rate limiting, and pub/sub patterns. Proven experience designing and operating microservices architectures, including inter-service communication (REST/gRPC/event-driven via SQS/Kafka,ELK,New relic, Mixpanel), service discovery, and API contract design. Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, with hands-on experience using Jenkins (pipeline-as-code, multi-stage builds, automated test gates). Working knowledge of AWS infrastructure - ECS/EKS/Lambda, VPC networking basics, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch; infra-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation) is a plus. Strong grasp of distributed systems fundamentals: idempotency, eventual consistency, retries/backoff, circuit breaking, and failure isolation. Track record of owning a service or domain end-to-end in production, including on-call responsibility. Excellent written communication - comfortable authoring design docs/RFCs and explaining trade-offs to engineers and non-technical stakeholders (Risk, Ops, external partners). Nice-To-Haves Experience with payment rails (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, SWIFT/wires) or card processing. Familiarity with banking partner integrations, webhook-driven reconciliation, or ledger/double-entry accounting systems. Exposure to KYC/AML/fraud tooling. Experience at a fintech/crypto-native company, payments processor, or Big Tech payments org. Prior experience operating in a regulated environment (FCA, EMI/PI licensing context), given the UK/EU banking scope of this role.

About Lendable 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: One of the UK's newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 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 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 About the role We're building a larger, dedicated Platform team at Lendable, increasing our investment in the infrastructure that enables our products and engineering teams to scale. We're hiring a Technical Product Manager to sit within Engineering and connect platform technology, reliability and commercial value. You'll own what we prioritise and why, giving engineers the business context they need while helping Product and leadership understand the impact and opportunities that Platform enables. This is a hands on technical IC role, where you'll stay close to engineering through writing code, reviewing PRs and contributing to architecture discussions. Working closely with the Platform Engineering Manager and Tech Lead, you'll help shape the Platform roadmap, connect technical investment to measurable business outcomes, and build the foundations that allow Lendable to move faster and scale with confidence. What you'll be doing Own platform stability Own platform stability as a primary accountability - SLA/SLO metrics, incident rates, release quality. Hold release gating authority: block features from production that don't meet testing standards or introduce unacceptable regression risk. Enforce CI/CD standards centrally so pods don't fragment into one-off solutions. Track and report stability metrics alongside commercial outcomes - stability is the foundation that makes the rest possible. Be commercially accountable Own the business case for platform investment and answer "why are we spending six engineers on this for three months?" in terms leadership understands. Track platform impact in business terms: developer velocity, incident cost, time-to-market, reliability, capacity - e.g. "CXO rollout removes a 3-second API fan out, reducing session abandonment" or "we can now handle 20k simultaneous logins". Input into headcount and investment decisions for the platform team. Own the platform roadmap Own the platform backlog, prioritised by business value and sequenced to unblock the highest-value product teams first - not driven by technical debt or engineer preference alone. Make trade offs explicit: "if we do X now, we defer Y by Z weeks - here's what that means for products depending on us". Ensure every initiative has a defined success metric that non-engineers can track. Be the stakeholder interface Act as the single point of contact for Pod Leads: business requirements coming from pods and engineering/developer requirements flowing to pods; prioritise both in service of platform stability. Make platform work visible to leadership - regular forums with product MDs and PMs to capture upcoming dependencies before they become blockers; represent platform work in leadership reviews; translate technical milestones into business milestones. Drive cross team collaboration and buy in with other PMs; engage architecture in technical design. Escalate when product teams make requests that would create unsustainable platform load or technical debt. Contribute as an engineer Write code, review PR's, and participate in architecture design as a core part of the role - not a side project. Bring a strong technical voice to roadmap decisions without owning final architecture calls (that's Architecture and Tech Leads). What we're looking for Essential Deep, hands on engineering background - this role must be staffed by someone who has shipped production systems, not someone who has only managed backlogs. Strong commercial instinct: can build a business case, speak to P&L impact, and hold a line on ROI. Exceptional stakeholder management across product, engineering, and finance without direct line authority over all of them. Comfortable with ambiguity - platform value is often indirect and long horizon. Track record of contributing as an IC while operating at a senior, cross team level. Proactive, low ego, and clear communicator - able to hold a line with leadership and pod leads alike. Nice to have Experience in platform, infrastructure, or developer tooling contexts. Familiarity with SLA/SLO frameworks and incident management at scale. Experience enforcing CI/CD standards across multiple teams or pods. Prior work making "invisible" infrastructure legible to non technical leadership. Our tech stack Platform & backend: Kotlin, AWS, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes. Gateway & clients: Node GraphQL gateway, React Native / TypeScript mobile app, Relay. Tooling & observability: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Jira, Confluence, Datadog, Sentry, Grafana. Interview process Quick call with the Talent Team (30 minutes) Hiring manager interview (30 minutes) Technical and Product interview (90 minutes) Culture add interview (60 minutes) Life at Lendable Winning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world's most successful fintech companies Flexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role. Hybrid roles require three days in office weekly; fully remote roles include regular opportunities for in person connection through socials and off sites Socials & connection: opportunities and events to come together, socialise, and get to know each other beyond the office walls Health coverage: support for your physical and mental wellbeing, including private health cover Retirement & savings: long term financial wellbeing through retirement savings plans Employee referral programme: earn a competitive bonus when you refer successful new team members Office meals & snacks: enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, plus complimentary lunches prepared by in house chefs on in office days at select locations Sustainable commuting: cycle to work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes available in select locations Please note: The availability and details of specific benefits vary by location and role.

Senior Software Engineer (Backend) Series A eCommerce x Fintech Meaningful equity Buying clothes online still isn t a great experience. Sizing is inconsistent, returns are costly, and customers are often left guessing. Yet despite all the innovation in eCommerce, this problem remains largely unsolved. We re working with a high-growth, well-funded Series A startup that s changing that enabling Try Before You Buy experiences for leading fashion retailers. The product is live, gaining traction, and now entering a critical phase of growth, including expansion into the US. To support that, they re rebuilding and scaling key parts of their platform. This is where you come in. You ll join a small, experienced engineering team and work directly with the CTO on the systems that sit at the heart of the product. This isn t about maintaining legacy code or picking up tickets. It s about building, improving, and scaling a platform that directly impacts customer experience and revenue. The environment is backend-leaning, built around Node.js, TypeScript and MongoDB, with an API-first, event-driven approach. But more important than the stack is the mindset engineers here are trusted to take ownership, think in systems, and deliver end-to-end. You ll be given the space to focus, the autonomy to make decisions, and the responsibility to get things into production quickly and properly. What they re looking for is someone who has seen scale or at least understands what it takes to get there. Someone who has worked in a startup or high-growth environment, where ambiguity is normal and ownership isn t optional. You ll likely be strongest on the backend, comfortable designing and building production systems, and thoughtful about performance, trade-offs, and long-term maintainability. You don t need to know everything, but you do need to be curious, pragmatic, and capable of figuring things out. If you ve had exposure to eCommerce, payments, or marketplace platforms, that s helpful but not essential. What makes this opportunity stand out is timing. The team is still small, but not at zero. The product is live, but not finished. The business has funding, traction, and a clear direction but plenty left to build. There s a genuine opportunity here to shape both the platform and your own role as the team grows over the next months. And importantly, you ll be part of that journey in a meaningful way, with equity that reflects early-stage impact and upside . The package includes a salary up to £85,000, flexible holiday, hybrid working (one day in the office per week), and a range of additional benefits but the real value here is the chance to build something that matters, in a team where your contribution is visible from day one. If you re an engineer who enjoys building real products, solving meaningful problems, and working in an environment where ownership and impact matter more than process, this is worth a conversation. Apply or get in touch for a confidential discussion. EHS Partners Limited, Edison Hill Search & Edison Hill Scale are operating and advertising as an Employment Agency for permanent positions and as an Employment Business for interim / contract / temporary positions.
