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 experiment, iterate and build fully automated solutions, based on algorithms which self-improve with time.
