Senior Frontend Engineer

Senior Frontend Engineer

We are looking for experienced Frontend Engineers to come and join our close-knit agile delivery team building a brand-new experience for our users, using the latest technologies. You will love working in a high-performance, entrepreneurial environment that values the craft of building cutting-edge products and solving complex problems.

You’ll be joining a new, cross-functional squad, focused on building a ground up platform that will deliver a market leading product in the credit marketplace. We are searching for someone who is a self-starter and can architect novel technologies from 0 to 1 as well as lead large projects.

We are always looking for ways to do things better and encourage new joiners to bring their ideas and ways of working to the table. Teach us some cool stuff and we'll teach you some, but most of all, you'll have fun doing it.

Skills we'd love you to have

• Expert knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript
• Strong knowledge of React and SSR frameworks such as Remix or Next.js
• Experience building services using Node.js and technologies like Fastify or Express.js
• Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment
• Desire to mentor more junior members of the team and to pair program to share your knowledge across the team
• Strong collaboration skills and impulse to share your knowledge across the Frontend team and the wider tech community
• Ability to lead large projects with multiple engineers working on them
• You live for unit and functional testing, using tools such as Jest, React Testing Library and Enzyme
• Good knowledge of build tools such as Webpack, and/or RollUp
• Desire to get involved with deployment pipeline technologies like AWS and Docker
• Understand and drive build processes and CI tooling (e.g. Jenkins, Circle CI)
• You have opinions on what technologies and standards we should be using now and in the future - we always want to hear new ideas.

Why ClearScore?

ClearScore is currently the biggest marketplace for credit products in the UK and in South Africa with over 15 million users. We are the first company to facilitate access to credit products using Open Banking data, making credit accessible to users with no credit files or low credit scores. In the UK alone, we have established relationships with over 50 of the main lenders and have been a trusted tool for customers to manage their credit and make better financial decisions.

We were the first business to offer free credit reports. We did so because we are user-centric at our core and believe in leveraging on technology to enable positive financial choices. We are design-led and data driven and we embed these behaviours in everything we do.

Our company culture is a fundamental part of all we have achieved. We believe in hiring smart, driven, passionate and diverse people who are keen on having a real impact in our organisation. We trust you to manage your own time, so we offer flexible work and no fixed desk hours. We don't micromanage and believe in measuring outcomes rather than effort. We have an inclusive culture where all, regardless of seniority, are encouraged to contribute with their ideas, look after their wellbeing and actively seek opportunities for career growth.
