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.
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Python Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you’ll work closely with colleagues in the Finance function to design and deliver automation that supports core financial operations. You’ll translate business requirements into reliable, maintainable systems that improve accuracy and efficiency across key workflows.
The position calls for someone who combines strong technical judgment with an interest in understanding how the business runs. You’ll be trusted to scope and implement changes independently, manage expectations with stakeholders, and ensure every improvement is built to last. Your work will form part of the backbone that keeps our financial processes running smoothly and at scale.
We value engineers who take ownership, enjoy solving complex problems, and bring clarity to ambiguous requirements. You’ll thrive here if you’re motivated by building systems that make real business impact, can communicate clearly with non‑technical partners, and take pride in well‑designed, high‑quality code.
At Abound, you’ll be part of a culture that values autonomy, curiosity, and continuous improvement. You’ll work with a modern Python‑based stack, gain deep exposure to how financial operations function in a fast‑growing lending business, and have the space to deliver meaningful technical change in partnership with experienced stakeholders.
