Talent Pool (Engineering)

At Ophelos, we believe in a different way to deal with debt. One that puts empathy and understanding front and centre, approaching our customers as individuals — no matter what they’re going through.

For too long, people in debt have borne the brunt of poor industry practices. Intimidating tactics, time-consuming customer service and a one-size-fits-all approach that overlooks the reasons anyone can fall into debt in the first place. Meanwhile, businesses suffer too. Poor customer experience translates to poor customer satisfaction, high churn rates, bad brand reputation and ultimately missed opportunities.

That’s why we’re taking a radically different approach. Pioneering an industry-first AI-native collections platform, we build products that help individuals clear their debts in a way that suits them, whilst providing businesses with an improved customer experience and game-changing insights into their customer base.

Since our launch in 2021, we’ve worked with some of the UK’s leading companies, including Octopus, Scottish Power and Philips — helping millions of people move toward a more stable, debt-free future. In 2023, we were acquired by Intrum, Europe’s biggest credit management service and have begun the next phase in our growth — expansion into 17 European markets over the next two years.

Ophelos launched in June of 2021 and is backed by investors such as AlbionVC, Connect Ventures and Fly Ventures. Our team has team pioneered innovative products and built successful businesses across the intersection of enterprise & financial technology, artificial intelligence and academia, including companies like Monzo, Google, Oracle, ASAPP, IBM and more, and academic institutions such as Oxford University, the University of Amsterdam and the University of Hong Kong.

Move with Courage & Urgency - Prioritise action, especially when the decision is reversible. Experiment and deliver fast, and take pride in the quality of our work.
