  • Strong knowledge of data system design; ability to break down problems and propose effective solutions.
  • Proficiency in Python, with a strong understanding of software engineering best practices (testing, automation, code quality).
  • Experience with containerisation and orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes).
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar).

We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

If there's anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.

UK App access: The Cleo app is no longer downloadable in the UK (but only until next year). If you're an existing user, you'll still have access to the app. But some features won't be available (just for a little while). Why? 99% of our users are based in the US - where financial health is often overlooked. We've decided to shift our focus to where we can provide the most value and make the greatest impact for users who need it most. Then we'll be able to apply what we learn to better support our UK users in the future.
