Senior Software Engineer

Who are we?

We are RateSetter, one of the world's largest peer-to-peer lenders. We have worked hard over the past four years to democratise lending with the aim of helping all Australians do more with less. We have made some great strides, reaching $500 million in lending, are over 100 employees, growing at 100% year-on-year - and we're barely getting started.

We believe the financial system has become bloated and inefficient, and are using technology and data to give value - and power - back to the consumer.

The ambition is huge and the only way we can do this is by bringing the best people in the world to help us get there. That's where you come in.
