About the role

We approach Data Science at Revolut the same way that we approach everything else – with class, logical thinking and lots of style. Let’s break it down: we take the most complex problems and create tailor-made solutions for our customers. If you’re thinking the Data team is kept in some sort of a secret den, doomed to never see the impact of their work, don’t worry - that’s not how we do things. They’re some of our best and brightest problem-solvers, deployed to the front lines to work in product teams and deliver rockstar solutions.

We start with deep data analysis to understand our customers, their objectives and any issues they might have. We then use various data points and advanced machine learning algorithms, to come up with the best possible option for each client. We experiment, iterate and build fully automated solutions, based on algorithms which self-improve with time.
