Senior React Native Engineer

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.

We’re looking for a Senior React Engineer to join our Super App engineering group, focusing on the Zable website as a key way customers discover and use our products.

This is the team that owns and improves core customer journeys on the Zable website, from discovery and eligibility through to application and self service, working closely with product, design and backend engineers across multiple domains.

There’s a lot to do as we launch new products, bring Zable to new audiences and continually improve performance and reliability, and you will take ownership for delivering meaningful web features, guiding implementation choices and helping the team ship high quality experiences.

PHP 8, Symfony 6&7, Kotlin, AWS, MySQL, Postgre

SQL, Rabbit

MQ, Docker, Kubernetes, React & React Native, Type Script, MobX, Redux, Stylus and SASS, Jenkins (we deploy to production as soon as we finish a feature), Behat, PHPUnit, Jest, Selenium, Maestro and Detox.

What you’ll be doing/impact on objectives

• Own delivery of significant React features on the Zable website, taking work from idea and technical design through to implementation, release and follow up based on data and feedback.

• Work in a cross functional Super App team to break down roadmap items into clear, deliverable tasks, help sequence the work, and keep the board flowing.

• Write clear, maintainable React and Type Script code that integrates with our existing stack for web (for example React, Type Script, NextJS, styling and shared components), following team patterns and contributing improvements where it makes sense.

• Raise the bar on testing and reliability by adding and maintaining unit and integration tests, and helping to keep end to end tests meaningful and stable for your area of the Zable website.

• Improve performance and user experience on the Zable website by paying attention to metrics such as load time, responsiveness and error rates, and working with others to address bottlenecks and defects.

• Collaborate in design and discovery with product managers and designers, giving input on feasibility, trade offs and edge cases, and suggesting simpler ways to solve customer problems when you see them.

• Support and mentor other engineers in the team through thoughtful code reviews, pairing sessions and sharing context, so that the whole team can move faster and more safely.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience building React applications in production, using Type Script to write clear and reliable front end code.

• Experience working on customer facing websites, with an understanding of modern web engineering concerns such as performance, accessibility and responsive layouts.

• Familiarity with common web tooling in our space, for example React, Type Script, routing libraries, styling solutions and testing tools such as…
