Embedded financing platform for e-commerce and fintech partners
YouLend operates an embedded lending platform with a dual-layer tech stack: orchestration and API management built on C#/.NET Core and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), paired with a data and analytics layer (Snowflake, dbt, BigQuery, Apache Airflow). Hiring skews heavily toward finance and sales roles—15 of 35 active positions—while engineering and data teams remain lean, suggesting YouLend is scaling underwriting capacity and partnership growth faster than platform development. Active projects span credit automation, risk modeling, and CI/CD infrastructure, pointing to internal friction between rapid product iteration and risk governance.
YouLend provides an embedded financing API that allows e-commerce, payments, and SaaS platforms to offer white-label lending products to merchants and consumers. Founded in 2015, the company operates across 9+ markets spanning the UK, EU, and US. The platform integrates with major partner ecosystems via API-first design and can deploy new financing products within a week of integration. Core operations span credit decisioning, underwriting automation, and risk management, supported by data infrastructure for probability-of-default and revenue forecasting. The company is headquartered in London with hiring active in the UK, US, and Germany.
YouLend uses C#, .NET Core, TypeScript, and Python for application logic; AWS (EKS, Lambda, Control Tower), Kubernetes, and Terraform for infrastructure; Datadog and Prometheus for observability; and Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, and Apache Airflow for data pipelines.
YouLend has 4 active engineering roles out of 35 total openings, with hiring velocity accelerating. Seniority mix includes senior, mid-level, and lead engineers. Positions are open in the UK, US, and Germany.
Current projects include launching new financing products, probability-of-default and revenue-forecasting models, credit process automation, microservices architecture, cloud-native AWS deployment, CI/CD pipeline improvements, and negotiating major partnership agreements.
