We help businesses get the funds they need when they need it often within minutes. Weve already made several billion in funding available to more than 100000 businesses since we launched in 2012 and positioned ourselves as a leading Fintech in Europe.
Our mission is to finance one million businesses. Well get there by continuing to make our finance ever more relevant and accessible to more businesses by combining cuttingedge technology data science and a 5star customer service.
The team
More than half of iwocas lending goes to repeat customers. The Repeats team shapes iwocas product offering and user experience for those customers by using the scientific method to maximise an internal metric. As the team works to maximise a metric rather than reporting to a stakeholder they enjoy a high degree of autonomy in choosing how to optimise these areas.
The team has a data scientist (with a second joining soon) a frontend engineer and two backend engineers (you would be the third).
The role
Autonomy: Own projects end to end from scoping and design to . Lead multiengineer projects coordinating with analysts product managers and other stakeholders.
Impact: Enhance our offerings to meet the needs of repeat customers improving their access to tailored lending solutions.
Shaping Systems: Design and maintain robust flexible and maintainable systems to ensure scalability and fastpaced development.
Learning Through Iteration: Embrace a culture of experimentation using trial and error to uncover insights refine approaches and grow your technical and strategic skills.
Continuous Deployment: Work iteratively supported by high test coverage and contribute to the teams frequent deployment cycles (averaging more than once per day).
DataDriven DecisionMaking: Use hypothesis testing and metrics such as issuance and profitability to quickly iterate and optimise our approach.
The projects
Instant decisions: We can sometimes make instant decisions by using fresh automatically collected data to refresh a customers previous decision (made by a credit analyst). Well make improvements to this process to allow instant decisions for larger amounts and for more customers.
Offer amount testing: Implement a test that will help us understand how offer amount affects customer behaviour issuance and loss. This should allow us to increase issuance and better meet our customers needs.
New product features: Were striving to offer our customers as much flexibility as possible while making the product easy for them to understand and use. Although we cant share details of unreleased features some recent highlights include interestonly periods (where for the first few repayments the customer only repays interest) and the option to extend these periods.
