Full Job Description
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.

You will bridge business needs with engineering execution, turning messy real-world problems into clean, impactful solutions. This is a high-impact role for someone early in their career who is exceptionally curious and operates with real autonomy.

Quantify impact, prioritise ruthlessly, and turn messy operational problems into clear engineering requirements. - Get hands-on and co-build the solution: from prompt engineering for AI agents to designing test cases and succ
