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 most exciting unicorns with a team of over 800 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.

Take ownership: you are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of the company from day 1

• Work in small teams of exceptional people:
  Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions

• Build the best technology in-house: we use 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 the company alongside a new Head of Quality.

At the company 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.

Enable teams to keep the quality bar high

• 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

Speed 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

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
