Hybrid / Flexible Working

Salary: Up to £45,000 depending on experience + up to 20% annual bonus + benefits

Founded in 2018, LDMS is part of the LC Financial Holdings group, a 3 pillar organisation that has over 950 employees across Europe. Together, we have an impressive track record of providing world class credit expertise that spans over 20 years.

We are a Fintech company focused on digital lending software, a market growing around 18% per year and set to be worth $27 billion by 2028. Given our expertise within the company and across the group we aim to be the leader in the space, and in order to do that we need a team of people who can not just write quality code but can think, create and challenge others to come up with the best solutions for our customers. We are an ambitious team with a pretty big ‘to do list’ including improving existing products, building new ones and delivering to new markets.

People & Teams

We have a positive, social and open company that is made up of a diverse collection of people who are all very much focused on the opportunity ahead. We are confident in our own ability yet we realise that there is always room for improvement.

Our company is authentic, we are in our growth phase, we aren't perfect nor do we have all of the answers but we operate in an open and collaborative way, where we challenge and encourage one another to learn and evolve together. Being a team player is key, however, rest assured that you’ll be given the autonomy to get things done.

Due to being part of a wider group we are lucky enough to have a brand new office that is equipped with great facilities like real time status boards, good coffee, drinks, snacks and super fast internet connectivity, we also have split working areas, chillout / creative spots and of course an area where we can come together to socialise. All of this is within a 2 minute walk from central station.

Skills & Knowledge:

Joining a Fintech you’ll be used to working in a fast paced environment where there is on-going change. Within the engineering team you will be passionate about the role, take a pragmatic approach to problem solving and be keen to build upon the product. As well as these attributes you will also be able to provide opinions while also being a team player who is willing to invest in the culture of LDMS. The team is made up of 4-6 people covering all disciplines and it is essential that you are able to communicate effectively with each of the members
