Looking to do some work that matters?

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 you make the best money decisions from day one. We’ve helped 4 million people so far with personalised insights and a voice you don’t expect in FinTech. But it’s time to do more.

We’re looking for a brilliant backend Ruby engineer to join us on our mission to fight for the world's financial health. You’ll be joining a team of adaptable, creative and product-focused engineers who ship working software. We understand our customers, we understand their pain, and we are passionate about helping them.

You'll be joining our Core (Financial Health) - Build a safety net squad where the team’s mission is to put our users on the road to financial fitness by building a safety net. This is not a short-term, one-shot approach. This is about building long term behavior change. We will act as our users’ money personal trainer, helping them to build a healthy savings habit.

Life as an Engineer at Cleo

We don’t deliberate exhaustively over all the what-ifs. We focus on being effective. We make small changes and test them quickly.
We think the deliberate, conscious and careful accumulation of tech debt is a powerful tool that lets us ship code and value to our users faster.
We write code to be read, debugged and maintained by humans.
We help each other. We learn the best and quickest by reviewing each others’ code and giving each other useful, constructive feedback.

Light a candle for your bank – when you’re better informed, you’re harder to exploit.

We launched in 2016 because banking is boring and broken, and are a ‘fast-growing start-up’ backed by the founders of Skype, Transferwise and Zoopla.

In the past year (yes, mid pandemic) we’ve grown the team from 45 to 85, launched in North America, closed a $10m Series A led by Balderton Capital and helped over 3 million of you in the US, Canada and the UK feel better about your money.

Our mission? To fight for the world’s financial health.

Cleo’s not a bank. She doesn’t want your money and she’s on your side.

Elevator pitch: A habit tracking and money management app, all wrapped up in a devastatingly (you’ll get it) intelligent chatbot. Cleo sits above your bank accounts and uses AI to analyse your spending and provide actionable insights. You get a range of features such as budget set-ups, spending wrecking, goal setting and personality modes whilst also helping to avoid overdraft charges with things like auto-savings and cash back rewards.

You set your goals – getting out of your overdraft, saving for a down payment, being able to look at your balance without having a minor, major breakdown etc. – Cleo gets rid of your blockers.

Like your bank, if they actually cared.
