We get it – it’s why most people come to Cleo. Together we’re fighting for the world’s financial health, building an AI that helps our users make the best money decisions from day one. We’ve helped 5 million people so far with personalised insights and a voice you don’t expect in FinTech. But it’s time to do more.

As we enter the next phase, we’re looking for more improvisers, data geeks and grown ups who want to own their work and create meaningful change.

The teamYou’ll join the existing Data Science function here at Cleo; a thoughtful and collaborative chapter of 20 dedicated data scientists & ML engineers, with significant industry experience that is at the heart of everything we do at Cleo. You’ll build and deploy production models that developers will feed directly into the product.

This position is essential in the expansion of both product and business. We are highly data driven, whether that be understanding patterns in users’ cashflow, scoring credit risk, or determining which of Cleo’s features is best suited to a user. We have interesting problems to solve on an ever-increasing scale.

You'll take ownership of the intelligent optimisation of payments, a significant workstream that has a direct impact on the company's financial performance. Your role will involve collaborating closely with others in your cross-functional team to investigate and comprehend business issues. You will use your analytical abilities to generate potential solutions and employ machine learning techniques to enhance processes. In the longer term, the role could incorporate other ML applications such as fraud detection and credit risk.Comment end

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. Check out this page for more information.
