Description For Senior PHP Engineer (UK Loans)

Lendable, one of the UK's newest unicorns, is seeking a Senior PHP Engineer to join their engineering team of 120 professionals. As a leading fintech company that's been profitable since 2017, we're transforming consumer finance by building next-generation lending platforms, credit cards, and innovative financial products.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to work on critical systems that power modern financial services. You'll be part of a team that's revolutionizing traditional banking through technology, working with a modern tech stack including PHP 8, Symfony 6, and cloud technologies. The position involves building new APIs, optimizing lending platforms, and participating in architectural decisions that shape new product platforms.

We're looking for someone who excels in modern PHP development, has strong testing skills, and can contribute to a collaborative team environment. The company offers an attractive hybrid working model, with work-from-home options on Mondays and Fridays, while maintaining in-person collaboration during mid-week.

What makes this opportunity special is the combination of technical challenges in the fintech space, the company's strong market position (backed by Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs), and a culture that emphasizes both professional growth and work-life balance. With excellent benefits including an in-house chef, private health insurance, and equity compensation, Lendable offers an environment where talented engineers can thrive while making a significant impact on the future of consumer finance.
