Job Description

We need Senior Software Development Engineers with commercial core Python experience who will touch every part of our platform, and can grow with us. We need somebody who can see solutions not problems collaboratively working across all areas of the business. This will include gradually transforming our monolithic django services into sleek elegant, scalable and maintainable services.

You will be part of a fantastic and energetic team that constantly demonstrates the values of being curious, being in-sync and beating expectations.

We are on a mission to create a new kind of business finance service to support the 5 million SMEs that power Britain.

We’re passionate about helping growing businesses maximise their potential, making applying for credit as quick and easy as possible. We have crafted an efficient marketplace for both borrowers and lenders, so they can get a better deal and a better service than the banks can offer.
