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 🏡

Location

London is the capital of the United Kingdom, situated in the South East of the island. The world's largest financial centre, London is also often referred to the culture capital of the world. The city is well-known for its heritage, including Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Kew Gardens, Westminster Abbey, and the historic settlement of Greenwich. London Underground is the oldest urban railway network in the world.

Technology workers in London earn 60pc more than the city average, with the figure even higher for foreign born workers, who earned 28pc more than their British counterparts in tech jobs. London can be considered as a center for professional relocation. Furthermore, there are over 100 of Europe's 500 largest companies' headquarters in London.

The city is famous for unpredictable weather. For instance, it could be cold, warm and rainy in one day and it’s often the topic of conversation across the city.

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. 🚀
