Credit marketplace connecting millions to financial products via API partnerships
ClearScore operates a credit marketplace serving 24 million users across five markets, powered by Databricks, Kubernetes, and AWS. The tech stack—SQL, Python, Go, Rust, Node.js, React—reflects a data-heavy consumer platform with both backend throughput and frontend complexity. Active projects (Kubernetes platform evolution, CI/CD pipeline development, AWS cost optimization, fraud prevention) indicate infrastructure maturation and tighter operational controls; the hiring velocity across engineering, product, and data suggests scaling beyond the consumer app into deeper API partner integrations and risk management.
ClearScore is a UK-founded fintech marketplace (founded 2015, 201–500 employees) that helps consumers access credit, insurance, and other financial products with transparency and control. The business operates in two layers: a consumer-facing credit score and report app (market leader in the UK) and an API-driven B2B layer with over 200 institutional partnerships across five markets. The company is profitable and growing, operating primarily from London with hiring also active in South Africa and Australia. The product is built around user-permissioned data, matching consumers to products algorithmically, and helping financial institution partners optimize conversion, revenue, and risk management.
