About Abound
We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture – how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer’s unique financial situation.
And we’ve shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance – for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.
Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top‑tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest‑growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines – and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.
Staff Platform Engineer
We are thrilled to open up a brand new opportunity on our Platform team.
Abound is a fast growing scale‑up. We are here to build something important for millions of customers, not to offer a comfortable average job. Our Platform team is the backbone of our engineering organisation. Right now, it’s a tight‑knit, high‑performing group of four engineers (two Seniors, two Staff), primarily focused on DevOps. I am looking for a Staff‑level Platform Engineer with a deep focus on Python engineering to balance our capabilities, elevate our code standards, and supercharge our developer experience.
If you love diving into complex engineering challenges, standardising patterns, and enabling other teams to ship faster, this is the role for you.
