About Lendable
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 world's leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start.
- One of the UK's 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, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards, and car finance. We get money into our customers' hands in minutes instead of days.
We’re growing fast and are going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US). We provide fast, reliable financial products by replacing dated systems and painful processes.
Join us if you want to
- 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.
About the role
As our Cyber Security Engineer, you will be the bridge between Security and Engineering. You aren’t here to block deployments; you’re here to ensure our code is resilient by design and to empower our developers to ship fast without breaking the trust of our customers or regulators.
Tech Stack
Backend
- Kotlin 1.7.20
- AWS
- GraphQL (familiarity is nice but not required)
- Postgres
- RabbitMQ
- Docker
- Kubernetes
Frontend
- React & React Native, TypeScript, MobX, Redux, Stylus and SASS
Other
- We build our Kotlin projects using Gradle and GitHub Actions, deploying to production as soon as we finish a feature.
- We use JUnit Jupiter, Kotest and TestContainers for automated testing.
What you'll be doing
- Secure the Pipeline: Integrate and automate SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling directly into our CI/CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
- Harden the Product: Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) assisting engineers with the remediation of security vulnerabilities and bugs.
- Safeguard AI: Design and implement security guardrails for AI‑assisted development and LLM integrations, ensuring data privacy and preventing prompt injection or model leakage.
- Threat Modelling: Partner with Product and Engineering teams to conduct threat‑modelling sessions for new features before they are built.
- Security Architecture: Act as a consultant for infrastructure and application design, ensuring our AWS/GCP Kubernetes environments remain hardened.
- Security Culture: Cultivate a Secure Development guild to level up our developers’ secure coding skills.
What we're looking for
- Pragmatism: You understand the difference between partnering with Engineering and security being a blocker of progress.
- Communication: You can translate a complex vulnerability into a business risk for a Product Manager and a technical fix for an Engineer.
- AppSec Subject Matter Expertise: You have strong understanding of critical security risks in applications, can identify them in code, and provide recommendations on remediation.
- Cloud Native: Strong experience securing AWS/GCP environments and containerised workloads.
- AI ready: You understand the unique risks of AI and have experience securing AI‑driven workflows.
Life at Lendable
- The opportunity to scale up one of the world's most successful fintech companies.
- Best‑in‑class compensation, including equity.
- You can work from home every Monday and Friday if you wish; on the other days, those based in the UK come together IRL at our Shoreditch office in London.
- Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks in the office every Tuesday‑Thursday.
- We care for our employees' well‑being, both physically and mentally, offering coverage for private health insurance.
- We’re an equal‑opportunity employer and are committed to making Lendable an inclusive and open workspace in London.
