About Abound
We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable
personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full
financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each
customer's unique financial situation.
And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit
performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after
launch.
Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of
Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for
ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.
About The Role
We’re looking for a smart, curious, and practical AI Engineer to join our global team in our Shenzhen office. You’ll work on
real-world Generative AI applications, AI agents, and Python-based automation solutions for the consumer lending industry. This
role is ideal for someone who wants to turn AI capabilities into measurable business impact, not just build demos. You’ll
collaborate closely with our UK and Shenzhen teams to explore, build, evaluate, and integrate AI into customer operations,
internal automation, risk workflows, and lending operations.
