Backend Developer

Description:

ClearScore is looking for a Backend Developer to join our team in Australia. We’re currently a small team of engineers, product, marketing and analytics. We’re looking to rapidly grow this team over the next year and are looking for someone who’s got some professional experience to help us.

We want someone to work on our microservices architecture, built using Scala, Kubernetes & AWS. There’s no need to know Scala beforehand; there’s a reason that We Learn is one of our company principles and some of our best engineers have learnt Scala while being here!

Responsibilities

• Be part of our growing team in Australia, to make the ClearScore product even better than it already is.
• We embrace the ‘You build it, you run it’ principle, so you’ll be working with AWS, Kubernetes and Spinnaker to release your code to production.
• We have adopted a Quality Assistance program, so you’ll be working alongside QA to build, test, release and monitor your work.
• Our teams are cross-functional and you’ll be collaborating closely with other developers, QA, data analysts and product managers.
• We value TDD and detailed peer-reviewing, as it enables us to do frequent yet resilient releases.

Why ClearScore?

ClearScore is currently the biggest marketplace for credit products in the UK and in South Africa with over 13 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 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.
