Full Stack (FE) Engineer - Credit Compass

Join iwoca as a frontend‑focused Full Stack Engineer on our Credit Compass team. In this hybrid London role you’ll design and build high‑performing, intuitive experiences that help small businesses understand and improve their credit health.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship user‑facing features on the roadmap – e.g. Monitoring, Cashflow Analysis and Spend Benchmarking – to make Credit Compass a habit for customers.
• Turn raw Open Banking, credit bureau, and internal data into clear, accurate visualisations, explanations and nudges that help customers take confident next steps.
• Own features end‑to‑end: scope, technical design, implementation, rollout, and iteration based on data and learning.
• Maintain and improve the core systems behind Credit Compass, ensuring dashboards, scores and data integrations stay fast, reliable and scalable.
• Monitor and debug production issues, quickly identifying and fixing problems to protect user trust and product performance.
• Partner closely with Product, Design and Data to shape solutions that balance impact, effort and scalability, using experiments and metrics to guide decisions about customer retention.
• Contribute to squad rituals – planning, estimation, retros – sharing context, surfacing risks and helping the team adapt as priorities evolve.
• Write clean, well‑tested code in Python/Django and TypeScript/React, and participate in code reviews to keep quality high across the codebase.
• Improve internal tools and CRM integrations that help the team respond to user behaviour more quickly and reduce manual work.

Requirements

• Significant experience as a software engineer working across the stack, with strong front‑end skills in React/TypeScript.
• Experience building and maintaining back‑end services in Python, ideally with Django, including designing and consuming API endpoints.
• Comfortable working with data‑rich products – querying relational databases and integrating third‑party APIs.
• Strong communication skills, able to translate business and customer needs into clear technical solutions.
• A product mindset: care about outcomes over outputs, comfortable with experiments and metrics, and enjoy collaborating closely with Product, Design and Data.

Bonus

• Experience building dashboards, analytics tools or products that help users understand and act on data.
• Familiarity with integrating complex external services (e.g. Open Banking, credit bureaus).
• A strong numerical or technical background, with a degree in maths, physics, computer science, engineering or relevant industry experience.

Salary

£60,000–£80,000 per year, with final compensation based on qualifications, experience and market rates.
