Data Scientist

Pennylane is the all-in-one financial and accounting platform for business owners and their accountants.

 

A single source of truth for financial data, used on one side by entrepreneurs to run their business (invoicing and getting paid, paying suppliers and expense management, piloting cash and profitability) and on the other side by their accountant for bookkeeping and tax declarations.

 

Saving time to all entrepreneurs and accountants, helping them to make the right decisions and enabling 3rd parties to offer added-value personalized financial services.

 

We’re product-led, growing fast, backed by strong investors and are starting to hire software engineers and data practitioners anywhere in Europe, to join our experienced remote-first tech team.
