Role

Who you are

You have a solid knowledge of data science
You work end-to-end - you can design, engineer and maintain our data stack
You’ve had exposure to a previous high-performance environment - this may be another startup backed by tier 1 investors, but it could just as easily be a competitive hobby
You know what good engineering practices look like - we need you to work with our engineering team to integrate your insights into our products
You find the extensive breadth and ambiguous nature of this role inspiring

What the job involves

As our first data hire, you’ll be tasked with designing, building and owning our data stack. You’ll also be responsible for applying your expertise in quantitative analysis to understand how our users behave. Your insights will feed into data products that you’ll own, as well as into our wider product strategy
In your first month, you could explore:
Transaction data to recognise tendency, temporal or spatial patterns
Mine KYC and KYB signals from structured and unstructured data to inform onboarding, pricing, and underwriting decisions
Build risk insights by combining onboarding data with in-life behaviour to detect anomalies and automate interventions
Design dynamic pricing models that personalise payment pricing based on business usage, risk, and segment
Launch product recommendation logic that serves merchants contextual bundles at the right moment in their lifecycle
Benchmark provider performance to show which of our partners are outperforming across time to board, churn, and margin
Create intelligent and personalised user experiences based on customer context to increase business-product fit and reduce time to conversion
By the end of your first sprint, you will likely have built at least one data project live in production, in use by some of the UK’s largest banks and 1000s of their small business customers
You’ll have direct exposure to some of the world's largest acquiring banks (Worldpay, Barclaycard, Natwest Revolut) to test large data sets and iterate on data products to serve small businesses better
You’ll report directly to Tuza’s CEO and CTO and work alongside a team of ex-founders and founding employees

Application process

Our take

Payment processing can be confusing business (not to mention, expensive). And many smaller businesses don't have the time or expertise to sift through endless options, so instead, they stick to what they already have, which can often cost them more than necessary.

Tuza is changing this, with its free, no-nonsense price comparison platform built to help businesses quickly compare rates from major providers. In just a few clicks, merchants can see exactly what they're paying and what they could be saving. By making the process simple, Tuza is helping business owners take back control of their payment processing.

Recently, the company secured significant funding. With this momentum, its aiming to bring 100,000 businesses onto its platform, while continuing to expand partnerships with sites like Switch and Money.co.uk. If Tuza continues to see success, confusing and costly payment processing could soon be a thing of the past.
