Senior Quality Engineer - AI

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 there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.

Join us if you want toTake 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

We're hiring two Senior Quality Engineers to set up a Quality Engineering department at Lendable alongside a new Head of Quality.

At Lendable we already have a number of profitable, award winning credit products. They have a good automated quality story. However, as our customer base has grown into the millions we need to keep evolving to keep the quality bar high. Advances in AI engineering also have enabled us to ship faster, but we need to ensure we are not regressing on our quality metrics.

This is an automation-first role. You'll spend most of your time writing code - AI Agents, test frameworks, CI tooling, helpers. You won't be executing tests by hand. You'll work cross-functionally with software engineers, product and design. Quality is a team-level responsibility and your job is to work with teams to enable them to improve their quality processes by hands-on collaboration.

You'll also be working at the frontier of AI-assisted quality, using LLMs and AI tooling to speed up test authoring, triage failures, and surface coverage gaps, while applying the engineering judgement to keep tests trustworthy.

What you'll be doing

Enable teams to keep the quality bar high Rotating around different product teams for short periods to level up quality

Define and evolve the pragmatic test pyramid for our products - deciding where E2E is worth the weight and where testing belongs in faster layers (unit and component tests)
Make deliberate calls about coverage, reliability, and speed trade-offs across our products

Devise and set up performance benchmarks to ensure critical parts of our systems don't regress

Bring AI testing into the SDLCSpeed up our SDLC by building agents that exploratory test changes and catch issues before they get to production

Use AI tools day-to-day to accelerate test authoring, cluster failures, surface coverage insights, and propose fixes

Decide where AI adds leverage and where a human eye is needed. A test suite that looks comprehensive but isn't trustworthy is worse than a smaller one we rely on Build reliable E2E automation

Discover gaps in testing and help teams build comprehensive suites

Get test environments and data fixtures to a level where they are easy to use and reliable

Drive flakiness down and time-to-diagnosis down. We treat a flaky test the same way we treat a broken test, and we expect root-cause work rather than retry-until-green

Prevent…
