About the role
We’re looking for a Staff Frontend Software Engineer (React with NextJS & React Native) to join our Zable US Credit Card team, becoming a key part of a cross-functional team building and refining features for iOS, Android, and Web in one of the world’s toughest and most dynamic credit markets - the United States.
Our US credit card product launched last year and our work now continues to build and refine our customer offering to complement our highly successful UK credit card business, which serves over 1 000 000 customers. Our roadmap includes features to introduce new user journeys and optimise conversion rates in our existing funnels, increasing functionality for our existing customers, refactoring & improving our codebase and tooling, and plenty more as we continue our growth in this market.
Alongside feature work we also put a big focus on improving performance, reducing tech debt, and improving scalability. Our ideal engineer is detail focused and resourceful, and keen to understand the bigger picture outside of their product team, contributing to wider engineering and business initiatives that help us scale Lendable as a global business as we continue to grow.

What we're looking for
You have experience working with product owners to break down business requirements into deliverable tasks and estimate the complexity of their implementation. You can quickly identify the difficulties of implementing a feature from an initial design wireframe or outline spec and work together to propose alternative approaches where appropriate
You are passionate about building high-performing teams. You organise work streams in conjunction with the product owner, and look for optimisations that will improve team performance and happiness, while driving individual accountability for delivery
You have experience mentoring and supporting other engineers, alongside engineering managers, working to encourage their personal and professional growth, and enabling them to succeed.
You have an expert understanding of modern Javascript with Typescript
You have experience leading cross-platform mobile development using React Native
You have a strong understanding of the different needs of mobile users across a variety of platforms and devices
You’re comfortable owning and managing the full spectrum of iOS & Android application requirements, such as provisioning, certificate management, automated deployment, and app store release processes
You set the standard for automated testing in your team, and take a pragmatic approach to implementing and improving the various phases of the testing pyramid
You can quickly identify and assess technical debt and are a vocal advocate for prioritising code improvements alongside feature work when the opportunity arises
You understand the importance of catering to users with accessibility needs, and are familiar with the approaches and tooling required to ensure accessibility guidelines and best practices are adhered to.
What would make you stand out
You’ve lead teams which have built, or worked on, products that have scaled from zero users to tens or hundreds of thousands (or more), and can apply what you learnt in new contexts
You’ve used GraphQL in a production environment
You’ve had experience in scaling React Native to multiple teams
You’ve built and launched new products and grown the audience
You have in-depth experience of mobile performance best practices and debugging
You’ve employed staged rollouts and multivariate testing approaches to release new features and test hypotheses
You have experience of UI or UX design. You feel at ease discussing approaches with product designers, and are happy to get involved in making design decisions where required
