Senior Fullstack Engineer

About OakNorth Credit Intelligence

A spinoff from OakNorth Bank, at OakNorth Credit Intelligence (ONCI) we are building a SaaS platform which transforms commercial lending by helping banks build deeper relationships with their clients, open new, more profitable opportunities, whilst delivering credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional methods, with lower risk and greater efficiency. This came as a result of our realisation that despite small and medium sized companies (SMEs) being a powerful force in the economy, many of them find it difficult to raise capital during critical stages of their company growth. Traditional commercial lending is highly rigid often making them misaligned with a company’s requirements. We aim to solve this problem at ONCI.

The team 🚣‍♀️ 🚣 🚣‍♂️We are a team of 10 engineers based in London who look after all aspects of the running of our web application.Our responsibilities as an engineering team are:Data processing pipeline: that ingestion of banking data from our customers and generation of proprietary analyticsCustomer-facing web app: presenting the analytics to the customer in a way that surfaces the key insights into their portfolio
