Making credit scoring fair, using the power of Open Banking 🌍

Role overview

We're building a credit bureau the right way - with the customer involved and transparent throughout. We're looking for talented and creative engineers who share our vision 🚀.

We work closely as a company

We're a small team with a big vision, so no-one specialises too much - we wear many hats week-to-week 🧢.

We're grappling with a large problem so there are plenty of challenges to be faced but we face them one weekly sprint at a time. Your role here would see you working with the founders of the company and the rest of the team on a wide range of issues to bring our vision of a better credit bureau to reality.

Our team has a diverse background

Not everyone studied Computer Science here and we have at least one classically trained opera singer 🎤. We have people with backgrounds in massive companies, small companies and a few for whom this is their first job. We're looking for people who want to learn and grow; if that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Our tech stack:

- Golang and Ruby on Rails for our core applications and APIs.

- Python for our data processing and science.

- Typescript with React and Redux for most of our front-end flows.

- Brand new open banking APIs for collecting financial data.

- Postgres for our data storage.

- Docker for running everything reliably.

- AWS for all our infrastructure (managed as code via Terraform).

Your Profile

We're looking for people who:

- Are excited by our mission 🚀.

- Are keen to learn and develop their skills and knowledge 📚.

- Are comfortable diving into problems in open discussions 🗣.

- Are interested in building a data-oriented company 🔢.

- Love writing elegant and well-tested software 💻.

What we value:

- Motivation, enthusiasm and passion for our mission to take on the big credit bureaus 🏦.

- Expansive thinking, transparency, honesty, and a good sense of humour 💛

- Results and efficiency rather than hours in the office 🏡

Credit Kudos

10-49

Credit Kudos is a venture-backed fintech startup and challenger credit bureau that uses financial behaviour to measure creditworthiness. 💳 Our technology transforms the way credit checking and credit scores work by generating a more accurate and holistic view of a borrower's creditworthiness. We’re working with lenders to help them make better, fairer credit decisions and with consumers to help them access fair, affordable credit. ⚖️ Our mission is to transform the credit scoring system to provide fairer credit for all; helping people access responsible finance they can afford, when they need it. 🤝 How it all began: After working in the US for a number of years, Freddy returned to the UK ✈️. Having had no recent financial activity in the UK, he had a 'thin' credit file. This not only meant that he had limited credit options, but those that were available to him came with higher interest rates and restrictions 🙁. After further research it became apparent that he was not alone, and that many people in the UK face difficulties when trying to get access to affordable credit 💳. With a vision to remove that challenge from the market, Freddy and Matt founded Credit Kudos 👋. Since then, the team at Credit Kudos have been on a mission to provide fair credit for all, harnessing the power of Open Banking 🌍. We’re building a credit bureau the right way - with the customer involved and transparent throughout. We’re looking for talented and creative engineers who share our vision. 🚀
