Job Description
Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in our Credit Decisioning team.

Our Credit Decisioning team, part of the Core Services department, is a collaborative group of problem-solvers dedicated to building and refining the technology that delivers near-instant decisions to our customers. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in evolving our bespoke decision engine, which is central to our application process. You'll work closely with talented colleagues to understand and enhance our credit strategy implementation and the software systems that support it. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact while growing your expertise in an environment that values innovation, teamwork, and shared success.

Please note, the minimum expectation for office attendance is a minimum of two days per week in our central London office.

The role
  • You love to build new things but also don't shy away from digging into a legacy codebase. You love to work in a complex problem domain that is implemented with simple software systems.
  • You have an interest or experience in Functional Programming, microservices and/or event-driven architecture.
  • You are a collaborator - you encourage pairing and believe that working together is smarter than working in a silo.
  • You are a teacher - generous with your time and expertise to teach stakeholders and our fellow engineers how to answer their own questions.
  • Proactively problem solving, identifying and confidently mitigating any risks, issues or control weaknesses that arise in your day-to-day.
What we're looking for
  • Experience working with ideally Clojure or at least one major functional programming language (E.g. Scala, Elixir, Haskell, Erlang).
  • Strong fundamental programming skills (data structures, algorithms).
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken.
  • An interest (or experience) in any of Functional Programming, Distributed Systems or Event-Driven Architectures (using Apache Kafka).
  • Knowledge of decision engines wanted but not essential.

At Funding Circle we are committed to building diverse teams so please apply even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with the requirements.

Why join us?

At Funding Circle, we celebrate and support the differences that make you, you. We're proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace and affirmative-action employer. We truly believe that diversity makes us better.

As a flexible-first employer we offer hybrid working at Funding Circle, and we've long believed in a 'best of both' approach to in-office collaboration and non-office days. We expect our teams to be in our London office three times a week, where you can take advantage of our newly refurbished hybrid working space, barista made coffee and subsidised lunches (via JustEat) every day!

We back our Circlers to build their own incredible career, making a difference to small businesses every day. Our Circler proposition is designed to support employees both in and out of work, and it is anchored around four pillars: Health, Wealth, Development & Lifestyle.

A few highlights:
  • Health: Private Medical Insurance through Aviva, Dental Insurance through Bupa, MediCash, access to free online therapy sessions and exclusive discounts with Hertility for reproductive health support.
  • Wealth: Octopus Money Coach, free mortgage advisor partnership and discounts across numerous retailers through Perks at Work.
  • Development: Dedicated annual learning allowance and full access to internal learning platform.
  • Lifestyle: Wellhub (for fitness discounts), Electric Car Scheme and more!

And finally, we have award winning parental leave policies supporting parents through enhanced maternity, partner and adoption leave, as well as additional leave for parental bereavement and for fertility treatments.

Ready to make a difference? We'd love to hear from you.
