Tech Lead Manager

Описание

Cleo is an AI-powered fintech app that helps users manage personal finances, track spending, budget, and access instant cash advances through conversational banking. The company is building the world's first AI financial assistant, one that actually understands your money and makes you better at it. Its stack spans a Ruby on Rails monolith, a single React Native (TypeScript) app frontend, Python for machine learning services, and PostgreSQL, all hosted on AWS and shipped through Kubernetes.
