Company mission
To change the world’s relationship with money.
Role
Who you are
- You are passionate about making a positive difference in society by improving the financial health of our users. You align with our company values and engineering principles, which drive our ways of working and software delivery
- You have strong frontend skills (React, JavaScript — Next.js a plus)
- You care about craft — especially motion, polish and user experience
- You are comfortable owning work end-to-end, including deployment and performance
- You can collaborative and confident working with creative and non-engineering teams
What the job involves
- We're looking for a talented Frontend Engineer with a passion for crafting beautiful, high-impact web experiences to join us on our mission to fight for the world's financial health
- You'll be joining a team of collaborative, creative, growth marketing folks who care deeply about the people they build for — we understand our customers, we understand their pain, and we're passionate about helping them thrive
- Work in a cross-functional team, collaborating with marketers, designers, data analysts and UX writers, to grow our reach and improve the financial health of our users
- Build and ship high-impact web experiences using React and Next.js
- Create motion-led, visually engaging pages — animations, interactions and storytelling that bring our brand to life
- Own pages end-to-end — development, testing, optimisation and deployment, collaborating with designers, marketers and analysts to bring ideas to life
- Take full ownership of our website — stewarding the health of the repository, including its structure, CMS integrity and security posture
- Improve performance, SEO and how we build across our stack (Next.js, DatoCMS, Tailwind, Vercel)
- Whichever squad and part of the business you land in, you will be shipping changes multiple times a week to our hundreds of thousands of active users and seeing your work having a material impact on the financial health of those most in need
- Cleo is built as a Ruby on Rails monolith with a single React Native app frontend, utilising TypeScript. We also leverage Python for machine learning services and PostgreSQL for our database, all hosted on AWS. Our CI/CD pipeline is fully automated, with production deployments happening on every merge via Heroku
- Our backend engineers deploy multiple times a week, and we release our frontend app to Google and Apple for review at least once a week
- While we take a pragmatic approach, we place a strong emphasis on quality. Our code is peer-reviewed, and we maintain automated testing using Minitest and CircleCI. We're also actively working towards a more modular architecture, focusing on separating concerns to achieve all the benefits of microservices within a monolith, while progressively refactoring our code as we build new features
- Everyone in the engineering team contributes to driving our technical strategy, voices & ideas from all levels are valued: we are all owners at Cleo

Our take
People are increasingly not satisfied with the products being offered by traditional banks, which have proven slow to react to the needs of younger consumers who expect more from their everyday experiences.
Cleo was one of the first companies to make great use of chatbots that sit within Facebook's messenger app. This chatbot-first approach and Gen Z user base have given it strong virality. It now has millions of registered users, 99% of which are based in the US, leading to a decision to take a year break from the UK market to focus on its US Gen Z customers. And after a successful year in the US its now eyeing up a return to the UK.
Its Series C funding will help the company to double down in the US, where it will make a significant increase in employee headcount, and enable Cleo to maintain and expand its service during an economic downturn.
Financial advice delivered via bots is a crowded space, so Cleo benefits from having a strong brand presence. It has gone for very bold, fun, Gen Z-focused messaging which helps it to stand out from competitors such as Emma, Plum, and Chip.
