The Role

The Role:

You will join an extension team of our client – Funding Circle.

At Funding Circle, we believe the world needs small businesses. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help them get the finance they need to grow.

With more than a decade of expertise under our belt, we’ve built a game-changer of a platform with cutting-edge data and technology that’s reshaping the landscape of SME lending. Say goodbye to lengthy applications and hello to lightning-fast decisions! In just minutes, SMEs across the UK can get a decision, giving them access to competitive funding in a flash.

We know that good business is about good people. So, we pride ourselves on providing meaningful, human support as well as fast, hassle-free processes to deliver an unbeatable customer experience.

We are looking for a Back-End Engineer with Python and/or Ruby to join our Servicing team, which sits under our Product Engineering Department.

This team builds the systems that keep our loans moving. As a back-end engineer, you’ll play a critical role in evolving our loan infrastructure, ensuring accuracy, speed and simplicity. Our team are keen problem solvers, collaborators and innovators. This is a brilliant opportunity to get involved in a team that are core to what our customers experience once they take out a product with Funding Circle.

What you'll do:

• Working in a complex problem domain where you can have a real and substantial impact on the business
• A perfect role for someone who has an interest or experience in relational databases, automated testing, microservices and/or event-driven architecture
• Champion best practices for pair programming and believing that working together is smarter than working in a silo

What we're looking for:

• Experience working in Ruby, Python or a similar language
• Strong fundamental programming skills
• Ability to quickly grasp and understand complex back end systems
• The know-how to proactively problem solve, identify and confidently mitigate risks, issues or address weaknesses that arise in your day-to-day
• A strong sense of initiative, seeking out answers where they may not immediately be clear and driving clarity from ambiguity
• It’s beneficial, but not essential if you have an interest in working with complex mathematical problems
