Evidence over hype
Every claim traces back to issuer terms or public fee schedules. We hire people who like footnotes more than adjectives.
Careers
Build the research desk readers actually trust
We’re a small editorial and product team obsessed with making credit cards, rewards, and debt decisions easier to parse. If you like primary sources, clean copy, and products that feel like a funded company—not a listicle farm—you’ll fit in here.
Why clinicsva
What working here feels like
Serious research culture, light process, and room to own a lane end to end.
Craft that ships
Writers pair with designers and engineers. Guides, comparison hubs, and tools launch weekly—not once a quarter.
Small team, real ownership
You’ll run a beat or a product surface. Meetings stay short; Slack stays calm; feedback is direct and kind.
Benefits that matter
Competitive pay, full health coverage for full-time roles, home-office stipend, learning budget, and flexible PTO.

Product · Data
Rewards Data Analyst
Keep our card attribute database honest—annual fees, intro APRs, bonus hurdles, lounge networks, and category caps.
What you’ll do
- Own weekly issuer change sweeps and publish deltas into our brand catalog.
- Build lightweight models that score cards against reader intent (travel, cash back, 0% intro).
- Write internal briefs so writers never invent a display value from memory.
What you’ll bring
- Strong spreadsheets/SQL fundamentals; Python or similar is a plus.
- Obsession with source priority (issuer > bank blog > third party).
- Experience in marketplaces, fintech, or editorial data ops preferred.
Product · Engineering

Ship fast, accessible reading experiences—comparison tools, sticky rank rails, filters, and performance-minded layouts.
What you’ll do
- Build and refine UI for hubs, article templates, and interactive card finders.
- Champion Core Web Vitals, semantic HTML, and keyboard-first patterns.
- Collaborate with design on a component system that feels premium, not templated.

Design
Product Designer

What you’ll do
- Design dense-but-scannable product pages for multi-attribute card catalogs.
- Prototype interaction patterns (filters, jump nav, sticky CTAs) and validate with readers.
- Extend our visual system: navy/cobalt/gold without looking like generic “fintech blue.”
What you’ll bring
- Product or editorial design work with published samples on mobile and desktop.
- Systems thinking—tokens, type scales, empty states, and error copy included.
- Figma fluency; motion chops are a bonus if kept purposeful.
Operations
Partnerships Coordinator
Run issuer and affiliate relationships with a strict firewall: commercial talks never rewrite editorial rankings.
What you’ll do
- Maintain partner pipelines, creative specs, and partner compliance checklists.
- Track offer freshness and flag when public terms drift from live tracked links.
- Document the church-and-state boundary so new hires internalize it day one.
What you’ll bring
- 1–3 years in partnerships, affiliate ops, or publisher business development.
- Organizational stamina and calm written communication under deadlines.
- Integrity first—this role protects trust as much as revenue.
