About the role
We’re on a mission to make affordable loans available to more people. Using the power of Open Banking, we have built state-of-the-art technology that allows us to look beyond traditional credit scores and offer fairer credit to people ignored by traditional lenders.
We have two parts of our business. On the consumer side, we have Abound. Abound has proven that our approach works at scale, with over £650 million lent to-date. While other lenders only look at your credit score, we use Open Banking to look at the full picture – what you earn, how you spend, and what’s left at the end.
On the B2B side, we have Render. Render is our award-winning software-as-a-service platform that allows Abound to make better, less risky lending decisions. And less risky decisions mean we can offer customers better rates than they can usually find elsewhere. We’re taking Render global so that more companies, from high-street banks to other fintechs, can offer affordable credit to their customers.
Technologies we use: AWS (ECS, RDS, IAM, VPC, and CloudWatch), AWS CloudFormation, CDK, CDK for Terraform, Docker, GitLab, Python, NewRelic
