Hands-on experience with cluster operations including node additions/decommissions, repairs, backups, and disaster recovery (node tool). Experience with cluster sizing, capacity planning, and multi deployments. Strong Linux administration and scripting skills (Bash/Python).

Your own patch. Real influence. No two days the same. If you're the kind of person who can walk into a business, spot what's holding it back, and win people over to change it - this role gives you the freedom, the tools and the trust to do exactly that. As an Area Manager you'll be given your own cluster of retailers, service stations and outlets to look after. Not a script to follow - a set of relationships to build, a set of problems to solve, and the judgement to decide how. You're not there to sell. You're there to genuinely improve how these businesses run, coaching site teams and advising owners on everything from compliance and product quality to layout, merchandising and profitability. When it works, it works because they trust you and that trust is yours to build. What's in it for you A fully maintained hybrid company car, with paid business mileage - this is a field role and you're set up properly for it A competitive salary plus a healthcare scheme A permanent, full-time role (37.5 hours, Monday Friday, with occasional weekends) with genuine variety built in Real autonomy - you'll manage your own network of sites, choose your own approach, and be judged on outcomes, not box-ticking Room to grow - coaching and mentoring is core to this business, and that includes investing in you A workplace that means it - a B Corp certified, Carbon Neutral employer with a genuine ESG strategy you'll help bring to life, not just a policy on a wall A culture built on agility and trust - teams work in an Agile way, led through coaching rather than command, and there's a real emphasis on enjoying the work A typical week could include Visiting sites to coach teams, check standards, and spot opportunities others would miss Sitting down with independent retailers and site managers to talk honestly about what's working and what isn't Rolling out new point-of-sale, merchandising or layout ideas and seeing the impact land Presenting results and recommendations to stakeholders - in person, by phone or over Teams Getting to the bottom of a complaint and fixing the actual cause, not just the symptom You'll thrive in this role if you Have a background as an Area Manager in food retail or a similarly fast-paced, customer-facing field environment Have coached, trained or developed people before - you know how to bring someone with you, not just tell them what to do Can hold your own with senior stakeholders and back it up with clear, regular reporting Are a natural, confident communicator who explains, advises and persuades rather than dictates Are self-motivated, adaptable and genuinely enjoy being out on the road and on site Hold a full, clean UK driving licence and 5 GCSEs including Maths and English Are comfortable with Word, Excel and PowerPoint Nice to have: a Level 3 Food Hygiene Certification, a post-degree work-related qualification, or previous experience managing multiple clients or contracts at once. Why this role, why now The Area Manager role isn't a job where you sit behind a desk reading a playbook. You're given a cluster, a set of relationships, and real commercial levers - and you're trusted to use your own judgement to get the best outcome for everyone involved. If you like ownership, variety, and seeing the direct results of your own coaching and influence, this is built for you. Field based, with travel across an assigned cluster of client sites, retailers and outlets. Some overnight stays may be required.

hackajob is collaborating with Lendable to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. About Lendable Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world's leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start: One of the UK's newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 people Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK Profitable since 2017 Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot) So far, we've rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance . We get money into our customers' hands in minutes instead of days. We're growing fast, and there's a lot more to do: we're going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes. Join us if you want to Take ownership across a broad remit. You are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1 Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo Build the best technology in-house , using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting We're hiring two Senior Quality Engineers to join our Mobile team at Lendable and help us ship our apps with confidence as we keep scaling. Our mobile app, Zable, is how most of our customers experience Lendable, loans, credit cards, car finance, mobile plans, subscriptions, and new products in development all in one place. It's written in React Native and TypeScript with a Kotlin backend, shipped to iOS and Android from a single codebase, and it's already in good shape. We are now looking to level up the quality engineering so we can raise release cadence without losing sleep over regressions. This is an automation-first role. You'll spend most of your time writing code - test frameworks, CI tooling, helpers, rather than executing test scripts by hand. You'll work alongside software engineers, product, and design, setting direction. You'll also be working at the frontier of AI-assisted quality, using LLMs and AI tooling to speed up test authoring, triage failures, and surface coverage gaps, while applying the engineering judgement to keep tests trustworthy. What you'll be doing Own the mobile test strategy: Define and evolve a pragmatic test pyramid for React Native - deciding where E2E is worth the weight and where logic belongs in faster layers (Jest, React Testing Library, component tests). Make deliberate calls about coverage, reliability, and speed trade-offs across the app. Set the bar for what "ready to ship" looks like on mobile, and hold the line on it. Build reliable E2E automation: Create and maintain mobile E2E suites in Maestro, including the scaffolding around them - test data, device configuration, helpers, reporting. Integrate suites into CI (GitHub Actions) so engineers get fast, trustworthy feedback on every PR and release candidates carry a signal people actually believe. Drive flakiness down and time-to-diagnosis down. We treat a flaky test the same way we treat a broken test, and we expect root-cause work rather than retry-until-green. Bring AI into the SDLC: Use AI tools day-to-day to accelerate test authoring, cluster failures, surface coverage insights, and propose fixes. Decide where AI adds leverage and where a human eye is needed. A suite that looks comprehensive but isn't trustworthy is worse than a smaller one we rely on. Help shape how the mobile team uses AI-assisted workflows more broadly - prompts, guardrails, review patterns. Prevent defects, not just catch them: Partner with product and engineering on shift-left quality: join specs early, push back on ambiguous acceptance criteria, and surface risk before code is written. Close the loop on production issues using our observability stack (Datadog, Sentry, Grafana) - tying test coverage back to real customer impact. Run targeted exploratory testing on high-risk releases when it's the right call. What we're looking for Essential: 6+ years in quality engineering or test automation , with a track record of keeping automated suites stable rather than letting them rot into a graveyard of quarantined tests. Strong TypeScript and JavaScript - not just writing test scripts, but building helpers, tooling, and debugging into the app when needed. Appium , device farms, or emulator/simulator orchestration at scale. Hands-on with Maestro or Detox. Experience shaping CI/CD pipelines for test reliability (GitHub Actions or similar), including flakiness reduction, parallelisation, artefact management, and runtime control. Comfortable with mobile E2E automation, or strong E2E experience on another platform plus a credible plan for getting productive on mobile quickly. We use Maestro on React Native with TypeScript and Expo - familiarity helps, but we'll back someone strong to ramp. Able to operate independently and drive improvements end-to-end (frameworks, CI, test data, reporting). Desirable: Hands-on experience testing React Native apps. Mobile performance and reliability work (crash reporting, startup time, memory and battery awareness). API and contract testing experience, with a point of view on test data and environment strategy. Native mobile fundamentals (Swift or Kotlin) for when a React Native abstraction leaks. Prior work introducing AI-assisted testing practices (test generation, failure clustering, coverage analytics) with sensible controls around review and trust. Our tech stack Mobile: TypeScript, React Native, Expo, EAS, GraphQL, Relay, Jest, React Testing Library, Maestro. Backend: Kotlin, PHP 8 (Symfony), AWS, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes. Tooling and observability: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Jira, Confluence, Datadog, Sentry, Grafana. Interview process Quick call with a Recruiter 15 minute cognitive test Hiring manager interview (30 minutes) Technical interview (90 minutes) Culture-add interview (60 minutes) Life at Lendable Winning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world's most successful fintech companies Flexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role. Hybrid roles require three days in-office weekly; fully remote roles include regular opportunities for in-person connection through socials and off-sites Socials & connection: opportunities and events to come together, socialise, and get to know each other beyond the office walls Health coverage: support for your physical and mental wellbeing, including private health cover Retirement & savings: long-term financial wellbeing through retirement savings plans Employee referral programme: earn a competitive bonus when you refer successful new team members Office meals & snacks: enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, plus complimentary lunches prepared by in-house chefs on in-office days at select locations Sustainable commuting: cycle-to-work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes available in select locations Please note: The availability and details of specific benefits vary by location and role.
