Backed by Index Ventures and founded by former leaders from Revolut, Kyriba, and Wise, Spiko serves thousands of organizations across Europe and processes hundreds of millions of euros in flows monthly. You will join as AI & Data Lead, taking ownership of Spiko's AI and data initiatives within the tech team while working cross-functionally across the entire company. Your mission is to supercharge Spiko with AI and build the AI and data team around you as the company scales. Key responsibilities include: • Embed AI into Spiko's product to enhance the cash management experience for CFOs—enabling users to automate deposits and withdrawals, run operations via natural language prompts, and allow AI agents to query positions and perform transactions programmatically through a Spiko MCP server. • Empower every team (legal, sales, marketing, ops) to leverage AI in their daily workflows, such as providing customer support with AI-assisted drafting and response capabilities. • Maintain state-of-the-art AI-assisted software engineering practices by owning tooling, practices, and infrastructure that make AI a force multiplier for the entire tech team. • Own the data platform, evolving and maintaining analytics infrastructure (BigQuery, Datastream, Metabase) that makes production data accessible to non-technical teams and supporting data initiatives built on top. The tech stack includes TypeScript, NX, Effect, React, Tailwind, BigQuery, Datastream, Metabase, LLM APIs, Terraform, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, and PostgreSQL. Claude is already deployed company-wide with teams using it daily; some automated workflows run in production, and product data has been queryable in plain language for nearly a year.
