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.

People & Teams

We have a positive, social and open company that is made up of a diverse collection of people who are all very much focused on the opportunity ahead. We are confident in our own ability yet we realise that there is always room for improvement.

Our company is authentic, we are in our growth phase, we aren't perfect nor do we have all of the answers but we operate in an open and collaborative way, where we challenge and encourage one another to learn and evolve together. Being a team player is key, however, rest assured that you’ll be given the autonomy to get things done.

Due to being part of a wider group we are lucky enough to have a brand new office that is equipped with great facilities like real time status boards, good coffee, drinks, snacks and super fast internet connectivity, we also have split working areas, chillout / creative spots and of course an area where we can come together to socialise. All of this is within a 2 minute walk from central station.

Skills & Knowledge:

Joining a Fintech you’ll be used to working in a fast paced environment where there is on-going change. Within the engineering team you will be passionate about the role, take a pragmatic approach to problem solving and be keen to build upon the product. As well as these attributes you will also be able to provide opinions while also being a team player who is willing to invest in the culture of LDMS. The team is made up of 4-6 people covering all disciplines and it is essential that you are able to communicate effectively with each of the members

• Delivery of backend aspects of features and enhancements using our tech stack

• Experience developing on the Cloud such as AWS, GCP, Azure
• Experience with Typescript and React, Angular, or other similar Front End frameworks
• Experience with WDIO or Selenium for automated browser testing

• Teamwork

About the job you're considering

We have vacancies for talented Software Engineers to join our dynamic team building solutions for our public sector client.  Our mature Agile environment will give you a great working environment to collaborate with fellow specialists from other disciplines. 

Working with us will mean delivering critical digital services from end-to-end working on a variety of projects featuring high-performance cloud platforms using Java based languages and technologies, and on-premise traditional infrastructure.

As a member of our self-empowered and multi-disciplined teams you will be given the freedom to shape the way you work to ensure you are working to latest industry practices, tools and technologies.

Hybrid working:  Your working location will vary depending on your role, personal needs, and business requirements. This will typically include a mix of Company offices, client sites, and remote work from home. You will be expected to work from the Telford office between 40% and 70% of the time. As we align closely with customer requirements—which may change over time—you will need to remain flexible. Please note that fully remote working (100% from home) is not permitted.

Your role

We’re looking for people who are learning focused, challenge the status quo and are constantly looking to shape their working environment to make it an exciting, fun and interesting place to work.

As a Software Engineer your primary focus will be to deliver user stories whilst working as a part of a multi-disciplined team.
You’ll be working closely with analysts and designers to build, deploy and support your services using well established software development techniques such as TDD, BDD and pair programming.
Getting involved with all stages of service delivery including testing, configuring, deploying, supporting, and monitoring using industry standard tooling, to truly work in a DevSecOps capacity.
Whilst working in a collaborative environment you are going to meet a variety of different people who, like you, have a wealth of knowledge and experience. As a part of one or more communities, you will have the opportunity to influence how we grow as a delivery centre and how we do things by sharing ideas and working with others to make things better.

Senior engineers are expected to lead by example, fostering a culture of excellence. You will actively mentor junior engineers and support their wellbeing, professional growth, and development, including through effective performance management.

Our Culture
Keeping things fresh is something we encourage in our working practices, but the culture of continuous improvement is equally as important in our technical approach to building and delivering modern digital services. Your knowledge and experience will be used to change the way we build solutions including utilising new tools and technologies to solve new problems or improve existing services.

Working on our services means you’ll be part of a team, but you’ll also be a part of communities of interest. This means you’ll always have people on hand to share and discuss ideas and get help when needed.  The engineering organisation is engineering led, supporting each other through coaching and mentoring, so if you want to change something it’s within your power to do so.

Your skills and experience

Ideal candidates will have strong technical competence in:
•    Java
•    Spring Boot
•    Open-source integration frameworks
•    TDD, Unit testing and automated integration testing
•    Experience of building RESTful APIs in Spring boot
•    Experience of building loosely coupled synchronous and asynchronous microservices

In an Agile environment communication is key and therefore we expect professionalism, good communication skills and approachable team members. 

Good working knowledge of Spring JPA, AOP, Transactions, SQL and NoSQL databases, containers and container management platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes is desirable. 

Experience of Cloud based infrastructure is desirable, along with an understanding of application security principles, continuous integration and continuous delivery. 

As a well-rounded Agile Software Engineer, we encourage adaptability plus general skills in problem solving, business analysis, quality assurance, application design and architecture to compliment your Java development specialism. 

Your security clearance

To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance. 
To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.
Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.
