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.

In your first 6–12 months, your primary focus will be to standardize and optimize the UPL team's infrastructure using AWS CDK and Terraform. You will work closely with UPL engineers to identify bottlenecks in their deployment lifecycle, redesigning CI/CD pipelines to improve release velocity and reliability. By servicing their day-to-day infrastructure needs, implementing cloud best practices, and driving automation, you will establish yourself as a t
