About The Role
Machine Learning Engineers at Cleo work on building novel solutions to real-world problems. This really does vary but could be: creating chatbots to coach our users around their financial health, creating classifiers to better understand transaction data or even optimising transactions within our payments platform.
Ultimately, we’re looking for a brilliant Machine Learning Engineer to join us on our mission to fight for the world's financial health. You’ll be leading technical work within a team of adaptable, creative and product-focused engineers, who train & integrate cutting edge machine learning across a variety of products and deploy them into production for millions of users. We understand our customers, we understand their pain, and we are passionate about helping them.
Here Are Some Examples, Big And Small, Of The Kinds Of Product Feature Work Our ML Engineers Have Taken Part In Over The Last Year
* Designed and implemented AI agents to analyse and extract insights from users’ transactional data.
* Developed models to interpret transactional data, enhancing the understanding of users’ finances. Think about your bank statement—how often do you not recognise a transaction on first review?
* Created contextual intent classifiers to understand user conversations with Cleo, enabling tailored and accurate platform responses.
* Engineered ML models to identify and deliver relevant actions to users within Cleo, ensuring a seamless, context-aware conversational experience.
* Built models to evaluate risk in customer interactions with bank transaction features and user activities.
* Developed optimisation models to improve payment success rates for customers while minimising business costs, tackling this as a two-sided optimisation challenge.
Whatever problem you tackle, and whichever team you join, your work will directly impact those most in need, helping to improve their financial health.
What You'll Need
* Excellent knowledge of both Data Science (Python, SQL) and production tools
* Experience building chat products
* A deep understanding of probability and statistics fundamentals
* Big picture thinking to correctly diagnose problems and productionising research
* Top tier communication skills, to be able to partner with Product and Commercial Leaders
* Industry-leading contributions to your field, communicated through conferences, blogs, talks, or open-source projects
* 3+years of experience in data science, machine learning engineering, or related roles
* Excellent knowledge of both Data Science (python, SQL) and production tools
* Strong ability to communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders
* Experience deploying machine learning models into production; familiarity with Docker containers and container orchestration tools is a plus
What do you get for all your hard work?
* A competitive compensation package (base + equity) with bi-annual reviews, aligned to our quarterly OKR planning cycles. You can view our public progression framework and salary bandings here: https://cleo-ai.progressionapp.com/
* Work at one of the fastest-growing tech startups, backed by top VC firms, Balderton & EQT Ventures
* A clear progression plan. We want you to keep growing. That means trying new things, leading others, challenging the status quo and owning your impact. Always with our complete support.
* Flexibility. We can’t fight for the world’s financial health if we’re not healthy ourselves. We work with everyone to make sure they have the balance they need to do their best work
* Work where you work best. We’re a globally distributed team. If you live in London we have a hybrid approach, we’d love you to spend one day a week or more in our beautiful office. If you’re outside of London, we’ll encourage you to spend a couple of days with us a few times per year. And we’ll cover your travel costs, naturally.
Other Benefits
* Company-wide performance reviews every 6 months
* Generous pay increases for high-performing team members
* Equity top-ups for team members getting promoted
* 25 days annual leave a year + public holidays (+ an additional day for every year you spend at Cleo, up to 30 days)
