Engineering at Oodle 

Oodles’ Product and Engineering department is divided into two main areas:  

• The Pre-Funding area oversees the onboarding process for our customers. This involves the checks and procedures that are carried out ‘prior’ to the disbursement of a car loan. Its focus is on verifying customer details, validating necessary documents, and ensuring that the application adheres to all lending and compliance standards. The objective is to mitigate risk and confirm that the loan can be securely approved and funded. 
• On the other hand, post-funding represents Oodles’ most essential system, which manages the complete loan lifecycle, encompassing payments and direct debits. This area pertains to the actions that take place ‘after’ the loan has been funded.  

Supporting these functions are the Platform Engineering team, the Data team, and the information security team. 

 The primary technologies used are Salesforce, and a collection of microservices developed in either Java, or Python, all hosted on AWS. 

  The Role 

 The Engineering Manager for Pre-Funding will be reporting directly to the VP of Engineering.  You will lead & manage an experienced team of onshore software engineers to deliver a stream of awesome software releases that deliver real business value. 

 What you'll be getting up to: 

• Collaborate with product management to plan a realistic roadmap  

• Lead, mentor, and develop your engineering teams; creating a collaborative and high-performing culture 

• Support the professional growth of your team members by having regular developmental conversations with them  

• Own the architecture across the team and drive architectural alignment.
