Senior Back End Developer

LIZY is revolutionizing the €70 billion European car leasing industry—one of the last giants yet to be disrupted. Traditional leasing is slow, confusing, and overpriced. We're changing that.

At LIZY, we believe leasing a car should be as seamless as buying a toaster on Amazon—with the premium touch of a Four Seasons experience. Since launching in 2019, we've been on an unstoppable growth journey, driven by bold ambition and relentless innovation. Our vision? To become the #1 digital car leasing platform in Europe.

Customers love us: over 250 glowing reviews and an average rating of 4.7 stars say it all.

Headquartered in Brussels, we've already expanded into Paris and Amsterdam—and we're just getting started. Backed by over €40 million in funding and powered by a dream team of top talent from Google, McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte, Cowboy, Teamleader, and more, we're building the future of car leasing.
