Frontend Developer Canada
ClearScore, Canada
Job Description
We want a skilled and passionate Frontend Developer to come and join our new International Market in Toronto, working on responsive web applications using the latest JavaScript technologies, such as React, Redux, and Typescript. You’ll be working in a high-performance, entrepreneurial environment that values the craft of building cutting-edge and beautiful web and mobile products.
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.
For more information on our tech stack check out our Tech Radar 2022, how we work is summarised in our Engineering Principles and we have many other Tech Blogs on Medium.
Why ClearScore?
ClearScore is on a mission to make the world of personal finance clearer, calmer, and easier to understand. It starts with the free credit score and report but we’re about so much more and we want to take the complex financial decisions that people make in their lives and make them easier.
We hold one of the biggest FinTech user bases in the world of over 15 million users but run ourselves like little start-ups. You’re encouraged to challenge the status quo and fight for the better. Since our launch in July 2015 in the UK we have expanded our product into South Africa in 2017, Australia in 2019 and we are planning Canada for 2022. We’re launching our product in Canada because we believe that we have an amazing product and think that it can make a big difference for people.
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 organization. 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.
We also have a super-fast and friendly interview process, which is more like having a friendly discussion than being put under a microscope or pressure. We want to know the real you and if you’d be a great fit for us.
