Job description

At Cleo, we're not just building another fintech app. We're embarking on a mission to fundamentally change humanity's relationship with money. Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of background or income, has access to a hyper-intelligent financial advisor in their pocket. That's the future we're creating.

Cleo is a rare success story: a profitable, fast-growing unicorn with over $200 million in ARR and growing over 2x year-over-year. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to join a team of brilliant, driven individuals who are passionate about making a real difference. We have an exceptionally high bar for talent, seeking individuals who are not only at the top of their field but also embody our culture of collaboration and positive impact.

If you’re driven by complex challenges that push your expertise, the chance to shape something truly transformative, and the potential to share in Cleo’s success as we scale, while growing alongside a company that’s scaling fast, this might be your perfect fit.

• Joining a cross-functional Growth squad with a mix of marketers, designers, UX writers, data analysts and others to improve the reach of our product and help improve our users’ financial health.
• Technical oversight of attribution touch points and distribution of events to 3rd parties, effectively utilising both our frontend (Typescript / React / React Native) and backend (Ruby / Rails) architecture.
• Working with 3rd party platforms, such as:
• Ad networks (e.g. Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Google)
• Affiliate networks (e.g. Rakuten)
• Attribution platforms (e.g. AppsFlyer)
• CRM (e.g. customer.io)
• Web (e.g. WebFlow)
• Collaboratively working with Marketing and Data teams to set up efficient attribution pipelines, allowing for fast testing & iteration.
• Working closely with our SEO Lead, optimise our website for SEO to improve search engine rankings for highly competitive keywords and drive highly motivated new users to the site
• Making informed delivery decisions based upon the overview of data being sent to / ingested from 3rd parties
• Getting involved in cross-cutting concerns that lift our entire engineering effort with the rest of the frontend chapter.
• Taking part in shaping all the work your squad does, not just the technical parts. Delivery is a team sport, and we encourage everyone at Cleo to share their ideas, so you can expect to be involved in product ideation sessions, user research calls, design reviews, retrospectives, ways of working sessions, product demos, OKR reviews.

Here are some examples, big and small, of the kinds of work our Growth squad have taken part in over the last year:

• Integration with a new affiliate 3rd party provider, looping back in-app event data for accurate measurements
• To ensure we can monitor conversion rates, adding support for new ad platforms on our web and landing pages so they attribute correctly through to app install and sign up
• Working with Data and Marketing to run ROAS optimisation tests with various 3rd parties

Within our Growth squad, you will be iterating and delivering quickly to help us gain greater insight into our users' needs 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.

About you

Firstly, and most importantly, all of the above sounds exciting to you and you want to make a positive difference in society by improving the financial health of our users worldwide.

You’ve also read our company values and engineering principles which drive our ways of working and help us deliver working software to our users, learn what works and iterate quickly to improve it. You share and embrace these opinions and are passionate about using them to deliver value.

You will be the second Growth Engineer of hopefully many more to come. Being a pioneer in this area, you will have the opportunity to build and grow the future of Growth Engineering at Cleo.

• You are an experienced Growth Engineer that knows how to utilise experimentation, creativity and analysis to make an outsized impact.

UK App access: The Cleo app is no longer downloadable in the UK (but only until next year). If you’re an existing user, you’ll still have access to the app. But some features won’t be available (just for a little while). Why? 99% of our users are based in the US – where financial health is often overlooked. We’ve decided to shift our focus to where we can provide the most value and make the greatest impact for users who need it most. Then we’ll be able to apply what we learn to better support our UK users in the future.
