About the job

About Abound

At abound, we are revolutionizing the landscape of consumer lending across the UK and beyond. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and Open Banking data, we strive to make fair and affordable personal finance accessible to a wider audience. Unlike traditional lenders who heavily depend on credit scores, we analyze the complete financial picture of our customers—considering their spending patterns and repayment capabilities—to build a nuanced understanding of their unique financial situations.


Our approach has proven successful at scale. We have facilitated over £1.3 billion in loans directly to customers while achieving exceptional credit performance—for every 10 defaults anticipated by the industry, we experience only 3. Remarkably, we reached profitability just 2.5 years post-launch.


With backing from over £2 billion from prestigious investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we are recognized as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintech companies (Sifted, CNBC). As we expand into new markets and product lines, we are on the lookout for driven individuals eager to learn, take ownership, and grow alongside us.

We are seeking a talented Senior Python Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will collaborate closely with our Finance team to design and implement automation solutions that enhance our core financial operations. You will be responsible for translating business needs into robust, maintainable systems that increase accuracy and efficiency across critical workflows.

This position requires a candidate who blends strong technical acumen with a desire to understand the business intricacies. You will be empowered to independently scope and execute changes, manage stakeholder expectations, and ensure every enhancement is durable. Your contributions will play a vital role in maintaining the smooth and scalable operation of our financial processes.

We value engineers who take initiative, enjoy tackling complex challenges, and excel at clarifying ambiguous requirements. You will thrive in our environment if you are motivated by creating systems that deliver tangible business impact, can articulate technical concepts to non-technical partners, and take pride in producing high-quality, well-designed code.

At abound, you will immerse yourself in a culture that champions autonomy, curiosity, and continuous improvement. You will engage with a modern Python-based tech stack, gain in-depth insights into how financial operations function in a rapidly growing lending business, and have the opportunity to enact significant technical changes in collaboration with experienced stakeholders.
