Staff Python Software Engineer

We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.

We are thrilled to open up a brand new opportunity on our Platform team.

Abound is a fast growing scale up. We are here to build something important for millions of customers, not to offer a comfortable average job. Our Platform team is the backbone of our engineering organization. Right now, it’s a tight-knit, high-performing group of four engineers (two Seniors, two Staff), primarily focused on DevOps. We are looking for a Staff-level Platform Engineer with a deep focus on Python engineering to balance our capabilities, elevate our code standards, and supercharge our developer experience.

If you love diving into complex engineering challenges, standardizing patterns, and enabling other teams to ship faster, this is the role for you.

The Platform team operates across two main pillars: DevOps and Engineering. While the team shares these responsibilities, your focus will be firmly on the Engineering side.
