Who we are
CreditXpert Inc. is a successful software company that enjoys the freedom to chart its own path. Our team is a small, close-knit community, where each person can make a big impact. We are nimble and have thrived for over 20 years in the midst of constant industry and regulatory upheaval. We believe in using our talents to make a positive impact on the world by improving the financial lives of Americans. As lifelong learners, we have a passion for change and we constantly adapt everything (our business, internal processes, tools...).
We enjoy a wide diversity of backgrounds and opinions, which can lead to passionate debates. We wear multiple hats, often stretch beyond our comfort zone, and see failure as an opportunity to learn. We have fun inventing advanced analytical solutions and creating great user experiences.
What we do
In 2000, we started a revolution by exposing the inner workings of the credit scoring industry to consumers, pioneering a new industry. Millions of people have been using our tools to take control of their credit life, gain access to better loans, and save money. More recently, we enabled the mortgage origination industry to replace guesswork with technology when trying to improve credit scores. As a result, more consumers now qualify for a mortgage at a good rate, and thousands of loan officers, mortgage lenders and other businesses can better serve their customers.
Benefits
We strive to create a great experience for our team, not just our customers. We want everyone to be excited about their work, fulfilled and worry-free. That's why we offer lots of autonomy, support, and the flexibility you need to balance your life. Our compensation and benefits package ensures that you can focus all your energy on creating value for our customers and the company.
Our benefits include a flexible and hybrid work environment, open PTO, performance based annual bonuses, company contribution to 401(k), insurance (medical, dental, vision, ST/LT disability, life), HSA and FSA.
