Founded in 2018, LDMS is part of the LC Financial Holdings group, a four-pillar organisation that has over 2,000 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. To achieve this, 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 significant ‘to-do list’ including improving existing products, building new ones, and delivering to new markets.

You'll collaborate with a supportive team in an agile environment, contributing to discussions and decision-making to drive problem-solving. We embrace an agile mindset, empowering individuals at all levels to innovate and collaborate quickly in a supportive and solutions-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take part in team ceremonies.
• Work closely with the team supporting features and enhancements.
• Contribute to automated testing to ensure quality.
• Design, implement, and optimise backend services.

About You:

• Technical Expertise: Strong experience in Java development, with a solid understanding of backend systems and database management.

• Experience developing REST APIs with Java (preferably Java 8+) and Spring Boot.
• Knowledge of SQL DBs, preferably PostgreSQL or Oracle.
• Experience working with modern Continuous Integration tooling such as Jenkins.
• Knowledge of version control systems such as Git.
• Experience with automated unit and integration testing.
• A passion for solving problems and collaborating.
• Experience with financial services or products.
• Good communication skills.

What’s Important to Us?

It’s safe to say our passion is tech, but we recognise that it’s the people we hire and bring together who are at the heart of the organisation. Over the years, we have acquired and recruited a pretty eclectic bunch with hobbies ranging from gaming to ultra-marathon running, snowboarding to chess, and hiking and climbing. However, what we do have in common are our values:

• Teamwork
• Merit
• Development
• Honesty
• Impact
• Integrity

These may look like corporate jargon, but they mean something to us. If you can relate to the above, get in touch as there’s a good chance you’d be a great addition to the team.

We work on a hybrid basis here, and we would like the successful candidate to be in our Cardiff office 2 times a week.
