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 worldâs leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
One of the UKâs 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, weâve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. We get money into our customersâ hands in minutes instead of days.
Weâre growing fast, and thereâs a lot more to do: weâre 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.
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
Weâre looking for a Senior React Native Engineer to join the Lenda team - our new brand in Mexico - building a new consumer credit card as part of our continued international growth.
Youâll join a small, cross-functional team with a startup mindset, operating within one of Europeâs most successful and profitable fintechs. Having recently launched in closed beta, weâre iterating quickly and refining the product as we prepare for a full public launch and continued growth in Mexico.
Your primary focus will be our React Native mobile application, delivering high-quality features and evolving a clean, scalable frontend codebase. Youâll collaborate closely with backend engineers to agree API behaviours through clear, documented contracts, contribute across the broader frontend surface area where needed, and partner with product stakeholders to deliver well-defined, high-impact improvements.
Our ideal engineer is detail-oriented and resourceful, writing thoughtful, maintainable code and approaching problems with pragmatism. Youâre as interested in understanding the âwhyâ behind a feature as you are in delivering the âhowâ.

You have a product mindset and are comfortable working with product owners to break down business requirements into deliverable tasks and estimate the complexity of their implementation
B2 (Intermediate) level written and spoken English. Youâre able to clearly and confidently discuss technical concepts in an English-speaking team environment.

Youâve built, or worked on, products that have scaled from zero users to tens or hundreds of thousands (or more), and can apply what you learnt in new contexts
A quick video call with a member of our talent team to learn more about you
A 30-minute video call with a hiring manager to discuss your experience and answer any initial technical questions you have about the role
A 15-minute online cognitive assessment, and a short practical take-home React Native coding exercise for you to showcase your coding skills.

A technical session with your peers where youâll discuss your solution to the exercise, talk through some problems and scenarios, and dig deeper into your technical experience
