Job Description
ClearScore is a workplace like no other. We’ve spent the past five years
disrupting an entire industry and building a user base of millions. At the
heart of this success is our culture, where we work hard, relish change and
treat each other with respect—helping everyone to reach their potential and
deliver results that make a difference.
We’re on a mission to positively impact the lives of our users. Our product
puts their needs at the centre of our thinking. Through cutting-edge tech,
insightful analytics and beautiful design we want to help our users build
their financial confidence and make better financial decisions.
We want our people to perform at their best, so we trust everyone to work in a
way that suits them—focusing on output, not time spent at a screen. We have an
inclusive culture where everyone is encouraged to look after their own
wellbeing whilst growing and developing their career.
You will be joining the team in our Capetown office, working in an
interdisciplinary squad, to take the current open beta product to its full
fruition and push into the market. You will develop experiences that are as
beautiful and visually complex as they are helpful and optimised.
We are proud to say that our engineering team at ClearScore is world class and
at the heart of making this mission a reality for our millions of users. For

Clearscore is the UK's and South Africa's #1 credit score and report app. We
are also present in Australia and Canada, with more than 19 million users
globally and growing fast. We have established relationships with 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 in the South Africa.
We did so because we are user-centric at our core and we believe in leveraging
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 we
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.
