Take a look at what Frontend Engineers do here! https://web.meetcleo.com/blog/what-do-you-do-frontend-engineer
1. Joining a cross-functional product squad with a mix of frontend engineers, designers, UX writers, backend engineers, data analysts and others to develop features that improve our users’ financial health
2. Working on our React Native application, building out amazing experiences for our users which bring financial health to life in the unique Cleo tone of voice.
3. Writing automated tests alongside your code to give us the confidence to ship it
4. Using AB-Tests, feature flags and other tools that let us iterate quickly
5. Using data to dig into user journeys, detecting problems and helping to optimise the Cleo experience
6. Being part of the rota for our weekly app releases to the Apple and Google app stores
7. Getting involved in cross-cutting concerns that lift our entire engineering effort with the rest of the frontend chapter
8. 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 product feature work our engineers have taken part in over the last year:
9. Building a secured credit card from scratch to help our users improve their credit scores without changing their habits.
10. Launching our new budget rewind feature to help users understand their pay-cycle and provide them with better analysis of how they got on with their budget.
11. Adding discount plans and tiering options to our subscriptions so we can experiment with the best pricing for different types of users.
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.

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.
For this frontend focused role, we also have some specific asks:
12. As this is an SE2/SE3 position, we’re looking for someone with strong industry experience of using React Native / React with TypeScript for a minimum of 2+ years. If it’s a lot more than that, maybe you want to look at our Senior role.
13. As your work will primarily involve working on features for our mobile apps, we’d either like to see some proven experience in this area or a genuine passion for moving into the mobile app space.
What do you get for all your hard work?

17. Flexibility: We treat you as humans first, employees second. Because we can’t fight for the world’s financial health, if we’re not healthy ourselves. This means all the usual perks but it also means flexibility. We take pride in being a flexible workplace that trusts our Cleople to deliver their best work, giving you the autonomy to structure your day around morning drop-offs to school or daily dog walks.
18. Hybrid-first: Join our hybrid-first team, where we blend the best of both remote and in-office work. We expect our team members to be in our London office 1-2 times a week. On Thursdays, we buy you lunch but you can come to the office on whichever days work best for you!

UK App access: The Cleo app is no longer downloadable in the UK. If you’re an existing user, you’ll still have access to the app. But some features won’t be available. 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.
