Strong understanding of Android frameworks and native app performance optimisation. You have worked on high-engagement and modern apps, with an emphasis on performance and delightful experiences.

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.

About the role We're looking for a PHP engineer to join our engineering team. This is the team that put the Tech in FinTech .

What we are looking for Strong, modern PHP development experience (PHP 7.2+ is a must). A good understanding of a modern PHP framework like Symfony, Zend, or Laravel. Strong understanding of abstraction and interpolation. Strong automatic testing skills. A keen desire to want to learn and input into a highly collaborative team. If you've worked in a Kanban environment, it would be a plus but not needed. Interview process A quick phone call with one of the team. A short coding exercise to complete in your own time. Onsite or Video Final Interview: Discuss the exercise you completed and meet the team you'll work with daily. Backend Tech Stack PHP Symfony Kotlin AWS MySQL PostgreSQL SQL RabbitMQ Docker Kubernetes Life at Lendable: The opportunity to scale up one of the world's most successful fintech companies.
