Why you need to work at Lendsqr and how to land a role with us

Landing a role at Lendsqr is an exciting opportunity to join a company at the forefront of transforming lending. From the moment you apply, we aim to ensure a fair and thorough process that evaluates not just your skills, but also how well you align with our mission and values. You’ve successfully passed the initial screening — congratulations! Now you’re entering the interview phase, and we want to help you prepare. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect, and how to make the most of your opportunity with us.

Screening for technical roles

For technical positions like product management, engineering, quality assurance, product support, and data science, you’ll be assigned a practical task to demonstrate your skills. This may be a product review, coding a feature, or a case study, typically with a 5-7 day deadline. If you need more time, just let us know. Goal: We want to assess your real-world problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.

Culture fit interview

You’ll have two informal conversations — one with a senior team member and another with CEO Adedeji Olowe. These are relaxed chats designed to assess your alignment with Lendsqr’s values and your career goals.
