Staff Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Staff Engineer on the Credit Scoring & Underwriting squad, you'll lead the technical architecture and execution across credit insights products. That means the insights and data platform our lenders already build on, and the new products we're putting on top of it.

It's a hands-on job. You'll write production code, and you'll be the person the team pulls in when a problem is hard or badly defined. You'll also put real time into helping the engineers around you get better, through code reviews and mentoring.

ABOUT LEAN

Lean is the leading financial infrastructure provider in the Middle East. We power some of the region's largest companies with APIs that enable payments, account verification, financial data access, and other critical financial infrastructure.

What started as the region's pioneering Open Banking platform and quickly became the de facto leader in account aggregation and payment initiation in the region is now becoming something bigger: a multi-product infrastructure company powering payments, data, and lending across MENA.

We've processed billions of dollars in transactions. We're trusted by 350+ clients — from Tabby and Tas'heel to Hungerstation — and backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq. Our $67.5M Series B was just the beginning. We're expanding into new markets, opening offices, acquiring businesses, and building capabilities that didn't exist here before.
