At Nova Credit, our mission is to power a more fair and inclusive financial
system for the world. Nova Credit’s diverse global team is stitching together
the world's credit data into a single network to unlock financial
opportunities for immigrants and other populations historically excluded from
the credit system. We’ve built a platform that enables lenders to access a
single, predictive cross-border credit database to help enable underwriting
decisions. We are backed by leading investors including Kleiner Perkins,
General Catalyst, and Index Ventures.
The Enterprise team aims to empower our customers to utilize Nova Credit's
technology via an API while also controlling the applicant flow. This team is
working on enabling the credit data transfer process to become a many-to-many
interaction where global citizens can use their international credit history
to apply for financial services in the U.S. and in any country. Our daily work
includes both frontend and backend projects, including maintaining a dashboard
for our customers, owning a webhook system, and building out our
groundbreaking API.

NOVA CREDIT’S INTERVIEW PROCESS
- Step 1: The phone screen gives us a chance to learn more about you, your goals, and your interests. It’s also a chance for you to learn about us and get answers to your questions.
- Step 2: The technical assessment (a one-hour coding challenge) is intended to give you a taste of what you’ll be doing at Nova Credit. We avoid asking algorithmic questions, so you can expect to be asked to complete more practical tasks, such as working with an existing API, parsing JSON responses, or building a UI component.
- Step 3: The final round will give you the opportunity to meet additional engineers, product managers, have a conversation with your potential manager, and expose you to the Nova Credit culture. It is broken down into three one-hour technical sessions (coding challenges/systems design sessions) and a forty-five minute chat with the hiring manager.
Everyone is welcome at Nova Credit. We are an equal opportunity employer
where our diversity and inclusion are central pillars to our company strategy.
We look for applicants who understand, embrace and thrive in a multicultural
and increasingly globalized world. We do not discriminate on the basis of
race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age,
marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
