About Cleo
Most people come to Cleo to do work that matters. Every day, we empower people to build a life beyond their next paycheck, building a beloved AI that enables you to forge your own path toward financial well-being.
Backed by some of the most well-known investors in tech, we’ve reached millions of people to support them throughout their financial lives, from their first paycheck to their first home and beyond. We're hitting headlines too. Recently, Forbes named us as one of their Next Billion Dollar Startups, and we were crowned the 'Hottest Tech Scaleup' at the Europas.
You’ll join the existing data science function here at Cleo; a thoughtful and collaborative team of dedicated data scientists, ML engineers, and analysts 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 natural language, deriving insights from financial data, or determining which financial product is best suited to a user. We have interesting problems to solve on an ever-increasing scale.
You’ll be working on a hugely impactful workstream, focused on the decisioning process that underpins our Cash Advance product. You’ll be working on business-critical projects that influence our lending policies and impact the users that utilize this feature. The team focuses on understanding user’s cashflow, including payment data and risk profiles - this data is then modeled to work out credit risk for each user.
