🇬🇧 Go/Golang job: Software Engineer at Fat Llama (London, United Kingdom)

Software Engineer at Fat Llama

🇬🇧 United Kingdom › London (Posted Aug 13 2018)

About the company
What if owning things was no longer important? What if those expensive items that are hard to find, can be available to you in a second? What if that investment you’ve already made can be used to pay for those things you can’t afford to own?

At Fat Llama we believe in that future. We believe that one day, owning those things we only occasionally need will be as ridiculous as buying a house every time you want to go on holiday.

Our borrowers are creative, experimental and curious. They look for opportunities to try new things, using everything from high end cameras to campervans. They want the convenience of on-demand and a quality of rental they could never normally afford.

Our lenders are entrepreneurial and own high quality desirable things, that they only use a couple of times a year. They want to make some extra money from their stuff and some are already making up to $8,000 a month.

We’re building the platform to enable more of these win-wins globally. Our customers trust us in droves – we’re growing fast week on week. Last year we went through Y Combinator and recently we announced a $10M raise from amazing investors to superpower our growth.

Permanent - Remote work is NOT possible
Relocation compensation available
