LDMS - About Us
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.
The Role
We're hiring a full stack engineer to help own the shared foundation that every Product Team builds on — shared components, design system standards, tooling, and architecture.
This isn't a feature team. Your work has a multiplying effect, the components you build and the standards you help shape are used by every team that ships product. You'll rotate into Product Teams to support them on new patterns and challenges, staying close to how the foundation is used and bringing what you learn back.
We believe AI and agentic development has thrown out the old playbook. The way software gets built is being rethought from the ground up, and we're not sitting that out. We're figuring out what it looks like for us — and you'll be part of shaping it.
If you want to influence how teams develop software, this is for you
