Want to work with smart people on interesting problems? Then you've come to the right place!
We're a little biased but we think we're one of the most exciting
startups in Europe right now. We're growing at an incredible pace, have
product market fit and are backed by the founders of Skype, Lovefilm,
Wonga, Zoopla, Climate Corp, Albion, MoonFruit & MMC Ventures.
Cleo was founded by engineers, we care deeply about our engineering culture and making this a great place to work.
What you'll be working on?
We're a small team which means you will need to wear many hats in the
beginning but it also means there are many interesting challenges ahead
that you can specialise in if you like. Broadly, you'll be working on
the following:
- Machine learning, from categorising transactions to understanding natural language and spending patterns, we extensively use ML.
- Payments, write code that moves money. From paying friends to saving automatically, write code that moves money safely.
- Product, 90% of your time will be building new features and
improving existing ones. We love getting features into users hands
early, learning and iterating. We're exceptionally data driven.

- You have experience writing beautiful, elegant and simple Ruby code.
- You can move fast and get stuff done.
