Hello. We’re Teya.
Teya was founded on a simple belief: local businesses deserve better.
They are the cafés, restaurants, salons, shops and entrepreneurs that bring character to our high streets, create jobs and keep communities moving. Yet for too long, financial services has made life harder for them - with clunky tools, poor support and complexity that gets in the way of running a business.
Teya exists to change that.
We’re building a financial platform for local businesses across Europe - one built around simple tools, thoughtful design and real human support. Our Members rely on us to help them run their business with confidence, and that responsibility shapes the way we work.
We move fast. We care about quality. We stay close to the detail. And we believe great performance and genuine hospitality should go hand in hand.
If you want to build meaningful products, solve real problems and make a genuine difference for local businesses, we’d love to hear from you.
Your Mission
We’re looking for a Data Scientist to work across the business at Teya, using data and models to improve business outcomes. This is a broad role: you can expect to get involved in solving business problems across many domains, applying your data science toolkit wherever it can create the most value – whether that’s understanding merchant churn, predicting lead conversion, forecasting transaction volumes, estimating price elasticity, or modelling credit risk.
You will work on modelling initiatives across the full model lifecycle, from data exploration and feature development through to model deployment and performance monitoring. You will use your strong quantitative background to ensure models are developed in a statistically sound way. Collaborating with senior data scientists and stakeholders across Product, Commercial teams, Finance, Engineering and Data Engineering, you will ensure models are well-understood and deliver real business value.
