Small business lending platform with in-house loan origination and servicing tech
Credibly is a fintech lender operating a proprietary loan origination and servicing platform built on Python, React, AWS, and DynamoDB. The tech stack reveals a focus on data-driven underwriting (DataRobot, scikit-learn) rather than third-party scoring, and the hiring mix—weighted toward engineering and data roles with a software director leading the charge—suggests active infrastructure work. Current pain points around CI/CD workflow and data trust indicate Credibly is scaling its internal platform capabilities as it grows loan volume.

Founded in 2010, Credibly is a direct small-business lender offering working capital loans, merchant cash advances, short-term loans, and lines of credit to businesses at various stages and credit profiles. The company operates across three offices (Michigan, New York, Arizona) and employs 51–200 people. Credibly's business is anchored on a custom-built origination, servicing, and reporting system—software the company controls end-to-end rather than licensing from a third party. This vertical integration of tech is typical of lenders at scale, enabling faster product iteration and tighter risk controls.
Credibly runs on AWS, Python, React, DynamoDB, and MySQL, with DataRobot and scikit-learn for underwriting models. Infrastructure is managed via CloudFormation and Docker.
Credibly is headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, with additional offices in New York and Arizona.
