We’re looking for an expert in financial crime to join our fast-growing Fincrime team here in London. You’ll work across different areas and products, including current accounts, business banking and international accounts. You’ll report directly to our Head of Financial Crime and play a strategic role in fighting fincrime. You’ll need to be a dab-hand at managing people, projects and investigations, but you’ll need to be ready to get hands-on too.
You should know that we fight financial crime a little differently at Monzo. You’ll work in a team with dedicated financial crime engineers and data scientists, which helps us to spot, assess and prevent crime quickly. We choose not to split out different areas of crime, either. Instead we tackle all financial crime together as one team. That includes AML, fraud, sanctions breaches, terrorist financing, bribery and corruption and tax evasion. You should know each of these like the back of your hand.
We’re the UK’s fastest growing bank, with 1.4 million customers and nearly 700 employees. We need a crack team of crime fighters to help us stay one step ahead as we continue to grow.
You should apply if:
You understand the financial crime risks associated with banking.
You’ve got experience communicating with senior internal and external stakeholders.
You take a strategic approach to managing risk and prioritising work.
You know when to delegate versus when to jump in and do something yourself.
You’re excited about working in a cross-functional team with engineers and data scientists.
You’re into using automated processes to find more efficient ways of working.
You want to manage fincrime analysts and help them to grow professionally.
Logistics:
We offer a competitive salary (taking into account experience and any specialism) plus stock options and lots of other benefits .
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
We’re keen to make sure we’re designing a bank that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics.

We’re searching for seasoned product-aware iOS engineers to help us on our mission: you'll centre users in the way that you think, and have a passion for great UI and UX. You understand the need for tested, resilient code balanced against the need to move fast and iterate.
We’re building a bank for and with our users. A product that’s fair, transparent and a pleasure to use. We see ourselves as something more than a typical current account: we’re setting out to solve all the problems that exist around your financial life in a coherent, meaningful and delightful way.
You’ll be working on a product that is a part of day to day life for more than a million people already, and your work here will shape the way that people interact with their finances. We don't expect you to line-manage other people but you'll be an ally and mentor to other iOS engineers who will learn from your direction and experiences.
Engineering at Monzo
There are 13 iOS at Monzo, and we're looking to grow the discipline to 25 people over the course of the year.
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and, following Stripe’s example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We’ve also made our product roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum . Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!
Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 100 engineers out of roughly 450 people in total - and we have big ambitions. There are many interesting challenges ahead, and we're happy for people to move between teams or to specialise, whatever you prefer. As an engineer here you'd be able to work directly with anyone across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication
Our iOS app
At Monzo, you'll get to work with industry standard tools and technologies - and help us define what great looks like for iOS engineers.
Our app is 100% Swift, built using a Model, View, View-Model architecture (MVVM). We use Coordinators to ensure we can re-use screens wherever possible, and avoid tightly coupling one screen to another. We make heavy use of protocols and extensions throughout our app.
Our networking stack is built upon Alamofire, using a generic interface to easily de-serialise objects of a certain type, and we mirror our backend micro-service architecture by building individual services to house our API logic.
We persist objects using Realm when we need to.
Our testing stack comprises of unit tests for business logic, stubbed API tests for pseudo-integration tests, snapshot tests for UI, and KIF for testing user input and sequencing.
We've published some talks and blog posts about how we work:
Working with backend services on iOS
Pushing Protocols to their Limits
The Release Mindset (how we release our apps)
What you'll be doing
As an iOS engineer at Monzo you'll work in a small, autonomous product squad alongside Android Engineers, Backend Engineers, User Researchers, Product Designers, Product Managers, QA Testers, and Business Analysts.
Your mission will depend on the squad, but currently mobile engineers are working on customer growth, revenue, lending products, business banking and internal operations. We also have a small squad dedicated to enabling other mobile engineers to move faster.
You and your team will be responsible for an overall company goal, rather than building a specific feature - you'll have the opportunity to have impact on both what we build, and how we build it.
Every week we meet as a discipline to discuss tools, techniques, problems we're encountering across the company and work together to improve our codebase and processes.
You'll report to an engineering manager, and we have specific managers who have a background in mobile engineering. Your manager will meet with you every 2 weeks 1:1, and their mission is to help you develop and grow as an engineer.
What we're looking for
We're looking for iOS engineers with strong product sensibilities. You'll care about the impact your work has on our customers, and optimise for impact rather than the number of lines of code you output.
You should apply if:
You are excited about programming in Swift
You’ve shipped and iterated on at least one app in the App Store
You love turning excellent design into beautiful products
You enjoy developing apps that delight users
You’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity every day
Have an understanding of the principles of computer science
Bonus points for (but not essential):
Familiarity with Android engineering, or other programming languages
Contributing to open source projects
Compensation
Our salary range for the role is £70,000 - £100,000 per annum depending on experience, plus stock options.
Logistics
Our main office is near Moorgate in London, though you have the opportunity to work remotely as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London. We can help you relocate to London and we can sponsor visas!
Our interview process consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test with a call to review your solution, and a half-day on-site interview.
The on-site consists of three rounds:
iOS technical
You'll meet 2 other iOS engineers. Together we'll go over some technical challenges we've faced as a company. We'll ask you to come up with designs to solve these problems, and we'll ask you questions about your experience using Swift in production.
General technical
You'll meet 2 engineers from different disciplines. We'll go through some technical problems you've solved in the past, and we'll go through some general engineering problems together. We're not testing your knowledge, but how you respond to problems you haven't solved before.
Product and design
You'll meet a product manager and designer, who will go through your code test with you, and talk about how you work with designers, product managers and other stakeholders on projects.
At each stage you'll have an opportunity to ask us questions about what life is like at Monzo. We won't ask you to write code on a whiteboard during your interview.

Our Android app
At Monzo, you'll get to work with industry standard tools and technologies - and help us define what great looks like for Android engineers.
Our app is almost 100% Kotlin, mostly built using MVP (Model View Presenter), though we are currently transitioning to MVVM (Model View ViewModel). We've started to use Coordinators to help use re-use screens where we can. Our app is modularised by product feature.
We use RxJava heavily, Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Dagger for dependency injection. We use Realm and Room for persistence, and Repositories for interacting with them.
We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews, and write unit tests for our Presenters, ViewModels and any other classes which contain logic. We Espresso for UI tests, which we run on Firebase Test Lab via CircleCI.
We recently wrote about building Monzo Chat on Android , which goes into detail on some of these elements.

You want to build a product that you and everyone you know uses literally every day
You’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity every day
Are great at explaining complicated technical concepts clearly
Have an understanding of the principles of computer science
Bonus points for (but not essential):

Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 100 engineers out of roughly 450 people in total - and we have big ambitions. There are many interesting challenges ahead, and we're happy for people to move between teams or to specialise, whatever you prefer. As an engineer here you'd be able to work directly with anyone across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication
Our Android app
At Monzo, you'll get to work with industry standard tools and technologies - and help us define what great looks like for Android engineers.
Our app is almost 100% Kotlin, mostly built using MVP (Model View Presenter), though we are currently transitioning to MVVM (Model View ViewModel). We've started to use Coordinators to help use re-use screens where we can. Our app is modularised by product feature.
We use RxJava heavily, Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Dagger for dependency injection. We use Realm and Room for persistence, and Repositories for interacting with them.
We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews, and write unit tests for our Presenters, ViewModels and any other classes which contain logic. We Espresso for UI tests, which we run on Firebase Test Lab via CircleCI.
We recently wrote about building Monzo Chat on Android , which goes into detail on some of these elements.
What you'll be doing
As an Android engineer at Monzo you'll work in a small, autonomous product squad alongside iOS Engineers, Backend Engineers, User Researchers, Product Designers, Product Managers and QA Testers, and Business Analysts.
Your mission will depend on the squad, but currently mobile engineers are working on customer growth, revenue, lending products, business banking and internal operations. We also have a small squad dedicated to enabling other mobile engineers to move faster.
You and your team will be responsible for an overall company goal, rather than building a specific feature - you'll have the opportunity to have impact on both what we build, and how we build it.
Every week we meet as a discipline to discuss tools, techniques, problems we're encountering across the company and work together to improve our codebase and processes.
You'll report to an engineering manager, and we have specific managers who have a background in mobile engineering. Your manager will meet with you every 2 weeks 1:1, and their mission is to help you develop and grow as an engineer.
What we're looking for
We're looking for Android engineers with strong product sensibilities. You'll care about the impact your work has on our customers, and optimise for impact rather than the number of lines of code you output.
You should apply if:
You want to build a product that you and everyone you know uses literally every day
You’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity every day
Are great at explaining complicated technical concepts clearly
Have an understanding of the principles of computer science
Bonus points for (but not essential):
Familiarity with iOS engineering, or other programming languages
Contributing to open source projects
Compensation
Our salary range for the role is £70,000 - £100,000 per annum depending on experience, plus stock options.
Logistics
Our main office is near Moorgate in London, though you have the opportunity to work remotely as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London. We can help you relocate to London and we can sponsor visas.
Our interview process consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test with a call to review your solution, and a half-day on-site interview.
The on-site consists of three rounds:
Android technical
You'll meet 2 other Android engineers. Together we'll go over some technical challenges we've faced as a company. We'll ask you to come up with designs to solve these problems.
General technical
You'll meet 2 engineers (not always Android engineers). We'll go through some technical problems you've solved in the past, and we'll go through some general engineering problems together. We're not testing your knowledge, but how you respond to problems you haven't solved before.
Product and design
You'll meet a product manager and designer, who will go through your code test with you, and talk about how you work with designers, product managers and other stakeholders on projects.
At each stage you'll have an opportunity to ask us questions about what life is like at Monzo. We won't ask you to write code on a whiteboard during your interview.
At Monzo we ’re aiming to build the best current account in the world . We are always keen to hear from capable, creative people who want to help us accomplish that goal. We want our bank to be s afe and s ecure for our customers, so security is very important to us
Security at Monzo

Monzo’s security team has a wide range of responsibilities, from infrastructure security to application security. As a bank, we are solving diverse, novel problems to ensure that our customers and their data are secure.
One of the guiding principles of security at Monzo is that security at the expense of user experience is a last resort. We aim to move mountains in the background such that we can build world-class features without compromising on security.
As a member of our security team you would be responsible for constantly improving the security of Monzo as a part of a multi-disciplinary team. You would work closely with security engineers, as well as lots of teams across the company.
You’ll spend your time:
Managing projects within the team, whether we’re rolling out a new feature to customers, or preparing to undergo an audit
Writing and delivering training to Monzonauts across the company and across the world
Working closely with our second-line Risk & Compliance team to improve the way we mitigate security risk
Developing new processes and procedures to improve security at Monzo
Collaborating and working with other teams to ensure that they can meet their objectives securely
Supporting the Security team on broader initiatives to help boost security awareness
Conducting periodic security reviews, and helping respond to security incidents
You should apply if:
What we’re doing in the Security team excites you!
You’re technically-minded and understand security best practices
You have experience managing multiple projects simultaneously, and are comfortable with regular context-switching
You’re comfortable reading and interpreting technical requirements, regulation and procedures
You love taking the initiative, prioritising and driving things forward, without being told what to do
You’re comfortable interacting with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
You are an excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend at least 20% of your time in London).
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
Our interview process typically consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home exercise, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions
Any questions?
If you’re unsure about applying or have any questions about the role or team, please don’t hesitate to email Marcelo directly Also, if you are under time pressure to change jobs soon (or have any other deadlines), please let us know, as we'll always do our best to speed up the process for you!

At Monzo we’re aiming to build the best current account in the world . We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal. As we build and scale our platform we would like to hear from people who have experience and a passion for these types of challenges!
Platform
As a backend engineer in the Platform team, you’ll get to work across a wide range of systems and environments. As a team, we’re responsible for designing, building, and operating our physical data centres, all of our networking, the services we consume from AWS, and the software we run on top like Kubernetes, Cassandra, Prometheus, and Kafka. We're investing a lot of up-front effort in building scalable, secure, and resilient systems, capable of supporting Monzo’s continued growth.
Engineers at Monzo have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and, following Stripe’s example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We regularly run hackathons in which people build things on our third party API and we contribute to open source software as much as possible. We’ve also made our product roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum . Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!
At Monzo you will get to work with a lot of exciting new technology.
We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies:
AWS for most of our infrastructure
Kubernetes to schedule and run our services ( Oliver , our Head of Engineering, gave a great talk at KubeCon on how we use these technologies)
Prometheus to monitor everything! (see How we Monitor Monzo )
Linkerd for our service mesh
Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
Cassandra for most persistent data storage
Go to write our application code (there’s an excellent interactive Go tutorial here )
We also have two physical datacenter sites with actual cables to connect to various third parties
You should apply if:
the work we’re doing sounds exciting!
you’re passionate about yaml
you’re familiar with some of our Platform technologies, or specialise in just one part
you want to help build, scale and operate a platform to support a product that you (and everyone you know) use every day
you’re keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry
you’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity
you’re interested in distributed systems and writing resilient software
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).
We offer competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between £40,000 - £100,000 per annum.
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.

We’re searching for product-aware iOS engineers to help us on our mission: you'll centre users in the way that you think, and have a passion for great UI and UX. You understand the need for tested, resilient code balanced against the need to move fast and iterate.
We’re building a bank for and with our users. A product that’s fair, transparent and a pleasure to use. We see ourselves as something more than a typical current account: we’re setting out to solve all the problems that exist around your financial life in a coherent, meaningful and delightful way.
You’ll be working on a product that is a part of day to day life for more than a million people already, and your work here will shape the way that people interact with their finances.
Engineering at Monzo
There are 13 iOS at Monzo, and we're looking to grow the discipline to 25 people over the course of the year.

Our networking stack is built upon Alamofire, using a generic interface to easily de-serialise objects of a certain type, and we mirror our backend micro-service architecture by building individual services to house our API logic.
We persist objects using Realm when we need to.
Our testing stack comprises of unit tests for business logic, stubbed API tests for pseudo-integration tests, snapshot tests for UI, and KIF for testing user input and sequencing.
We've published some talks and blog posts about how we work:
Working with backend services on iOS
Pushing Protocols to their Limits
The Release Mindset (how we release our apps)

Teams and Managers at Monzo
Monzo is growing very quickly. We've doubled our headcount over the past 10 months and expect to keep growing at approximately that rate. Our current hypothesis is that the best way to stay productive during this growth is to create small, interdisciplinary teams, that are able to independently achieve their objectives and ship things from their own roadmap.
Find out more about how we organise our teams and support engineers.
Logistics
The interview process consists of a 45-60 minute phone call, followed by 2 hours of face to face interviews at our office in Moorgate, London. Sometimes, we arrange a follow-up interview to discuss the feedback from the first onsite stage.
We're an equal opportunity employer and prize diversity as a strength. Whoever you are, you're welcome at Monzo. We’re keen to ensure we’re designing a bank that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics.

Our engineers have a variety of different backgrounds: we have several non-graduates; only a few of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants.
Your focus will be on helping each of them with their personal and professional development, listening, guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes.
You'll understand the kind of challenges associated with building mobile apps in a company with multiple consumer facing engineering teams.
You’ll spend your time:
conducting regular 1:1s with every person you manage to give and receive feedback
coaching, mentoring, and developing high performing engineers
helping individuals determine the best way to reach their professional goals
managing performance and providing useful, timely feedback
guiding engineers to the right training courses, conferences, and potential stretch projects
helping with productivity or communication issues
interviewing and supporting hiring new engineers
contributing to management best practices: helping us become an exceptional place to work for the ambitious, highly motivated people that we hire
partnering with tech leads and product managers to ensure delivery squads are properly staffed and able to be highly effective
We encourage an open and transparent working environment. You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and, following Stripe’s example , all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We regularly run hackathons in which people build things on our third party API and we contribute to open source software as much as possible . We’ve also made our product roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum .
If you’re unsure about applying or have any questions about the role or team, please don’t hesitate to email Andy from our Engineering Support Team on andy@monzo.com 😊We're very open about what we do in general, so our blog is a good place to learn more about what we do.
You should apply if:
you would like to help Monzo build a world-class engineering organisation. Not just from a technical perspective but also from an interpersonal perspective
you have experience managing high-performing iOS or Android engineers
you understand the challenges associated with building iOS and Android in larger teams
you have an empathetic leadership style and you build strong, effective relationships
you care deeply about helping others achieve their goals, avoid burnout, and become the best engineer they can be
Teams and Managers at Monzo
Monzo is growing very quickly. We've doubled our headcount over the past 10 months and expect to keep growing at approximately that rate. Our current hypothesis is that the best way to stay productive during this growth is to create small, interdisciplinary teams, that are able to independently achieve their objectives and ship things from their own roadmap.
Find out more about how we organise our teams and support engineers.
Logistics
The interview process consists of a 45-60 minute phone call, followed by 2 hours of face to face interviews at our office in Moorgate, London. Sometimes, we arrange a follow-up interview to discuss the feedback from the first onsite stage.
We're an equal opportunity employer and prize diversity as a strength. Whoever you are, you're welcome at Monzo. We’re keen to ensure we’re designing a bank that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics.
We’re looking for empathetic managers with a technical background to support and coach our engineers and help drive technical initiatives that improve our engineering practices. We’re particularly looking for people who would love to grow and develop high-performing engineers in our Financial Crime, Security, Payments or Platform teams.
Engineers work in interdisciplinary teams arranged around a mission, with clear responsibilities and objectives, and the right people in the team to independently ship from their own roadmap. Engineering Managers are separate from delivery teams, focusing on managing high performance and development for engineers across more than one team. Find out more about how we organise our teams and support engineers.
Your focus will be on helping each of them with their personal and professional development, listening, guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes. You may also help drive technical initiatives in partnership with senior engineers across multiple teams, such as a testing, accessibility or performance.
You’ll spend your time:
supporting, coaching and developing high performing engineers through regular 1:1s, continuous feedback and relationships with team leads
working closely with the talent team to attract and hire high potential team members from diverse backgrounds
contributing to management best practices: helping us become an exceptional place to work for the ambitious, highly motivated people that we hire
helping to build an engineering organisation that can make a success of rapid growth
partnering with senior engineers to drive technical initiatives that improve our engineering practices
partnering with tech leads and product managers to ensure delivery squads are properly staffed and able to be highly effective
Projects Engineering Managers have worked on in the last year:
Building and rolling out an engineering progression framework
Iterating the engineering on-boarding process to help engineers become productive more quickly
Creating a promotions process to make sure engineers are being fairly recognised and rewarded for their contributions
Establishing a ‘tech lead’ role in product engineering squads to provide a clear technical mentor in the squad and a technical partner for product managers
Running a summer internship for engineers that saw them work on real-world problems in our engineering teams with engineers they learned a lot from
You should apply if:
you have experience managing the performance and development of high-performing engineers
you have an empathetic leadership style and you build strong, effective relationships
you care deeply about helping others achieve their goals, avoid burnout, and become the best engineers they can be

The Platform Team is looking for an engineer with experience in building, maintaining and operating Cassandra at scale. You'll have the opportunity to work with our established setup and drive future development in how we use Cassandra at Monzo. Cassandra is at the core of our bank and used by many of our 600+ microservices running in Kubernetes.
At Monzo, we're building a bank that is fair, transparent and a delight to use. We’re growing extremely fast and have close to a million customers in the UK, with over 60,000 new people joining every month. We’ve built a product that people love and more than 80% of our growth comes from word of mouth and referrals.
You’ll spend your time:
Collaborating closely with other engineers and becoming a valued member of the Platform Team
Working with other teams to help them understand and use Cassandra
Ensuring that our Cassandra clusters are stable, performant, and up-to-date
Researching, defining and implementing the future of Cassandra at Monzo
Contributing to the Cassandra open source project
Developing systems which automate the management, and increase reliability, of Cassandra
You should apply if:
What we’re doing here at Monzo excites you!
You have a deep understanding of Cassandra and distributed systems
You’re comfortable working with AWS
You’re interested in writing software to improve the ongoing operations of Cassandra
You have a good command of *nix tools (in the context of analysing and troubleshooting system performance)
You have a solid understanding of the JVM and know how to tune it
Here is some more info on the platform team:
Platform
Help us build a state-of-the-art microservices platform based on the learnings of Netflix, Twitter, and Google. We're investing a lot of up-front effort in building a scalable, secure, and extensible architecture. We've posted a good overview of our platform on our blog .
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
Our interview process typically consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard

Security at Monzo
Monzo’s security team has a wide range of responsibilities, from infrastructure security to application security. As a bank, we are solving diverse, novel problems to ensure that our customers are safe and secure.
One of the guiding principles of security at Monzo is that security at the expense of user experience is a last resort. We aim to move mountains in the background such that we can build world-class features without compromising on security.
As a member of our security team you would be responsible for constantly improving the security of Monzo, and you would work closely with other teams to ensure that our systems are secure by design. Of course, security incidents can and do occur, and the security team is involved with many different types of incident response .
Our engineers have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.

We’ve also made our product roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum . Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!
Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 100 engineers out of roughly 400 people in total - and we have big ambitions. As a security engineer here you'd be able to work directly with lots of teams across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication.
At Monzo you will get to work with a lot of exciting new technology.
We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies:
Go to write our application code (there’s an excellent interactive Go tutorial here )
Cassandra for most persistent data storage
Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
Linkerd / Finagle for RPC
Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run our services ( Oliver , our Head of Engineering, gave a great talk at KubeCon on how we use these technologies)
AWS for most of our infrastructure
React for internal web dashboards
We also have two physical datacenter sites with actual cables to connect to various third parties
You should apply if:
the work we’re doing sounds exciting!
you want to be involved in building a product that you (and everyone you know) use every day
you’re constantly looking for flaws in systems and can reason about how best to address them
you’re keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry
you’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity
you’re interested in distributed systems and writing resilient software
you have some experience with strongly-typed languages (Go, Java, C, Scala etc.).
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend at least 20% of your time in London).
We offer competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between £40,000 - £100,000 per annum.

Go to write our application code (there’s an excellent interactive Go tutorial here )
Cassandra for most persistent data storage
Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
Envoy Proxy for RPC
Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run our services ( Oliver ,our Head of Engineering, gave a great talk at KubeCon on how we use these technologies)
AWS for most of our infrastructure
React for internal web dashboards
We also have two physical datacenter sites with actual cables to connect to various third parties
You should apply if:
the work we’re doing sounds exciting!
you want to be involved in building a product that you (andeveryone you know) use every day
you’re keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry
you’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity
you’re interested in distributed systems and writing resilient software
you have some experience with strongly-typed languages (Go,Java, C, Scala etc.).
The Lending team
The Lending team works on making borrowing money simple, fair and transparent. They've already shipped and scaled overdrafts to hundreds of thousands of Monzo customers and they've made it easy to take out a loan without the unfair fees or confusing pricing that you find elsewhere. They work on everything from the way borrowing works in the app, right down to how they move and account for money that our customers borrow. One of the most interesting problems they face is deciding how much to lend and to whom. The team believes that they can make access to credit fairer and more transparent.
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).
We offer competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between £40,000 - £100,000 per year.
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
We’re continually hiring for Backend Engineers! Our interview process typically consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code task, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard

Full time
t Monzo we ’re aiming to build the best current account in the world . We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal 🚀
Please note: we get lots of successful applications for Backend Engineer in Lending so there could be a delay in scheduling interviews from the initial stage right up until the final interviews. If you're invited to interview and you have any immediate time pressures, please let us know, as we'll always do our best to speed things up for you 😊
Our backend engineers have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and,following Stripe’s example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We regularly run hackathons in which people build things on our third party API and we contribute to open source software as much as possible. We’ve also made our product roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum . Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!
Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 150 engineers out of roughly 750 people in total - and we have big ambitions. There are many interesting challenges ahead, and we're happy for people to move between teams or to specialise, whatever you prefer. As an engineer here you'd be able to work directly with anyone across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication.

Product The product backend team work primarily on creating backend services and APIs for our in-app user-facing features. They work closely with our mobile engineers and designers to create a delightful user experience, and to drive growth and retention. Projects that Product backend engineers have worked on recently include Summary (giving people insight into their finances to empower them to spend sensibly) and the Current Account Switch Service (all the hard work to allow users to move to Monzo quickly and easily).

We’re building a bank for and with our users. A product that’s fair, transparent and a pleasure to use. We see ourselves as something more than a typical bank: we’re setting out to solve all the problems that exist around your financial life in a coherent, meaningful and delightful way.
You’ll be working on a product that is a part of day to day life for more than a million people already, and your work here will shape the way that people interact with their finances.
Engineering at Monzo
There are 13 Android engineers at Monzo, and we're looking to grow the discipline to 25 people over the course of the year.
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.

Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 100 engineers out of roughly 450 people in total - and we have big ambitions. There are many interesting challenges ahead, and we're happy for people to move between teams or to specialise, whatever you prefer. As an engineer here you'd be able to work directly with anyone across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication
Our Android app
At Monzo, you'll get to work with industry standard tools and technologies - and help us define what great looks like for Android engineers.
Our app is almost 100% Kotlin, mostly built using MVP (Model View Presenter), though we are currently transitioning to MVVM (Model View ViewModel). We've started to use Coordinators to help use re-use screens where we can. Our app is modularised by product feature.
We use RxJava heavily, Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Dagger for dependency injection. We use Realm and Room for persistence, and Repositories for interacting with them.
We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews, and write unit tests for our Presenters, ViewModels and any other classes which contain logic. We Espresso for UI tests, which we run on Firebase Test Lab via CircleCI.
We recently wrote about building Monzo Chat on Android , which goes into detail on some of these elements.
What you'll be doing
As an Android engineer at Monzo you'll work in a small, autonomous product squad alongside iOS Engineers, Backend Engineers, User Researchers, Product Designers, Product Managers and QA Testers, and Business Analysts.
Your mission will depend on the squad, but currently mobile engineers are working on customer growth, revenue, lending products, business banking and internal operations. We also have a small squad dedicated to enabling other mobile engineers to move faster.
You and your team will be responsible for an overall company goal, rather than building a specific feature - you'll have the opportunity to have impact on both what we build, and how we build it.
Every week we meet as a discipline to discuss tools, techniques, problems we're encountering across the company and work together to improve our codebase and processes.
You'll report to an engineering manager, and we have specific managers who have a background in mobile engineering. Your manager will meet with you every 2 weeks 1:1, and their mission is to help you develop and grow as an engineer.
What we're looking for
We're looking for Android engineers with strong product sensibilities. You'll care about the impact your work has on our customers, and optimise for impact rather than the number of lines of code you output.
You should apply if:
You want to build a product that you and everyone you know uses literally every day
You’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity every day
Are great at explaining complicated technical concepts clearly
Have an understanding of the principles of computer science
Bonus points for (but not essential):
Familiarity with iOS engineering, or other programming languages
Contributing to open source projects
Compensation
Our salary range for the role is £50,000 - £100,000 per annum depending on experience, plus stock options.
Logistics
Our main office is near Moorgate in London, though you have the opportunity to work remotely as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London. We can help you relocate to London and we can sponsor visas.
Our interview process consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test with a call to review your solution, and a half-day on-site interview.
The on-site consists of three rounds:
Android technical
You'll meet 2 other Android engineers. Together we'll go over some technical challenges we've faced as a company. We'll ask you to come up with designs to solve these problems.
General technical
You'll meet 2 engineers (not always Android engineers). We'll go through some technical problems you've solved in the past, and we'll go through some general engineering problems together. We're not testing your knowledge, but how you respond to problems you haven't solved before.
Product and design
You'll meet a product manager and designer, who will go through your code test with you, and talk about how you work with designers, product managers and other stakeholders on projects.
At each stage you'll have an opportunity to ask us questions about what life is like at Monzo. We won't ask you to write code on a whiteboard during your interview.

Want to help us change the way the world moves money?
We build high tech services that allow people to send and receive money easily. Our customers are mostly migrants, sending money home to their families and friends in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Today only 5% of the remittance market is online – with a large proportion of the industry operating through informal untracked networks. Yet online is predicted to grow to 60% in the next 5-6 years and WorldRemit is driving that shift.
By reducing costs and freeing up time we enable people to make the most of the opportunities that their new life abroad provides and help to release the billions of dollars lost in transferring money to the developing world. This money goes directly to those who need it.
Why do we care about money transfers so much?
Most of our customers are first or second generation migrants. They may be living and working far from their home but still manage to send money back to support their loved ones.
Large international wire transfer companies and banks have been taking advantage of people like this by charging preposterous fees and unfair rates.
With the World Bank estimating $575 billion annually flowing into developing countries - transforming the remittance industry could have a greater impact on international development than every single government aid program combined.
WorldRemit is using innovative technology and growing it’s a global network to make transferring money easier, fairer and more affordable.
How are we doing so far?
- A family of 450+ employees across offices in London, Denver, Sydney and more
- A Fintech Top 20 company
- Sending almost 10,000,000 remittances annually (and growing)
- Raised $230 million in funding
- Funded by VCs behind companies such as Airbnb, Spotify, Netflix and Facebook.
- Covering 140+ countries across the globe
What will you be working on?
You’ll be working on one of our biggest business goals: improving the customer experience by eliminating the friction in sending a money transfer. When we’re sending money to 140 countries around the world, some things are bound to go wrong through user or partner error, but we want to catch them when they do and fix them before the customer ever knows there was a problem. Getting this right is crucial to allowing WorldRemit to scale effectively and reach even more people around the world.
You will:
Own the user experience for customers after their transaction has been authorised, across all 140 markets, on both mobile and web
Define the roadmap for tackling friction, prioritising for maximum benefit to our customers and business
Develop a deep understanding of our users and their interactions with WorldRemit by analysing the huge amounts of data we have available and undertaking user research, as well as drawing on the expertise of our Customer Service and Operations teams
Work tightly with other Product Owners and business stakeholders to understand how new initiatives might affect customer friction and identify how these can be avoided or improved
Be the product owner for the new friction development team in Warsaw (regular travel to Poland included), prioritising the backlog, and writing rock-solid user stories, requirements and acceptance criteria
What are we looking for?
A natural leader with a proven track-record of building amazing products
A commercial mind-set with a good understanding of how to balance customer needs with business needs
An analytical approach, you know which metrics to focus on and can mine data for behavioural trends
A great eye for detail – no room for error when people’s money is at stake!
Skills we’d like
Product management experience, working hands on with an agile development team of developers and designers
Experience creating a roadmap, writing tight user stories, and prioritising a backlog
Sufficient understanding of web and mobile technologies to spot opportunities and avoid pitfalls
Experience of user research from guerrilla testing to customer interviews
Analytical mind set with great understanding of A/B testing and correctly interpreting statistical significance. SQL skills preferable
Evidence of taking a product or features from discovery to live

About WorldRemit
We are looking for a Product Designer , based in London, to help us take on our upcoming challenges and improve our product experiences through considered design thinking.
WorldRemit helps people send money around the world to over 140 destinations more quickly, easily and securely than traditional processes that are often more expensive, complicated and do not recognise that the way people use money is changing.
We are proud of the diversity of our users which is one of our core strengths at WorldRemit, many of whom are first or second generation migrants working hard to support their families. We understand the impact that we help create, and are responsible for, when people trust us to send their money directly to family, friends and loved ones around the world.
Design at WorldRemit
Our design team is growing in terms of people, impact and accountability. Designers are embedded in our feature teams, and form part of a triad working equally alongside engineering and product.
We help introduce new features and products to our app and website that continue to ease the process of sending money abroad, directly inform product strategy through the insights we gather and help facilitate design-led product development.
Our efforts so far have resulted in almost 90,000 five star reviews from delighted people using our products and services - you will be a big part of continuing to cultivate the stories that we can tell .
What you will be doing
Work with product owners and engineers in your team to drive design vision and strategy to improve our customer experience that includes:
Sending and receiving money
Improving the activation process
Reducing the friction of sending money abroad
And a bunch more other product features
Partner with product and engineering to represent the design team, help achieve design initiatives, and provide feedback in planning and product channels
Partner with engineering to ensure that our implementation and user experience is high-quality.
Support designers across product teams and departments by sharing work and helping to improve broad design initiatives such as our pattern library and user interviews.
Provide guidance, input and support in our review and feedback sessions. Seek out feedback from your fellow designers and beyond your product team.
Help in recruiting and interviewing designers, and actively improve our inclusive design hiring process
Does this sound like you?
You have a couple of products under your belt, and you’ve mostly worked in house at product focused companies. It’s not that we don’t want to hear from you if you’ve mostly been living the agency life, but tell us why you’re looking for a change.
You recognise the importance that design plays to help influence positive behaviours for customers, with your experience in design thinking to help create engaging and impactful solutions.
You’re someone who draws motivation, purpose and inspiration from the mission of a company and use that in helping solve the problems you work on.
You have a great portfolio that demonstrates your experience with typography, interaction and visual design that tells us how you contributed to success.
You strive to be a ’T-shaped’ designer bringing your experience with the end-to-end iterative design process, and keen sense of detail to problems and solutions.
You know when to use story mapping, journey mapping, prototyping, low or high fidelity prototypes and user testing and research to help achieve design goals.
You have a proficiency with current design tools such as Sketch, InVision, Marvel and others.
You’re friendly, humble and focused on the team, and love working closely with product managers, data scientists, engineers and being supported by experienced designers to bring your unique perspective into the design process.
We strive to offer a competitive benefits package to employees including a personal learning and development, choice of equipment to support the way you work best, as well as a well stocked kitchen every morning for breakfast and a fun weekly townhall meeting that features different food each time.
We’re a global company with offices worldwide (London, UK / Denver, US / Krakow, PL / Cebu, PH and more), so you will have a network of locales to connect with as you grow with the company.
Located in Victoria, our London offices are centrally based with a diverse background of nationalities, enjoying easy access from St James’s Park, Victoria and Westminster stations all within easy walking distance.
Something really important
We are keen to ensure we are designing experiences that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics.
If the role sounds like a good fit and you’re interested in helping making a genuine impact on people’s lives, don’t hesitate to apply! We appreciate that applying takes a lot of effort, and we really value the time you invest.

Want to help us change the way the world moves money?
We build high tech services that allow people to send and receive money easily. Our customers are mostly migrants, sending money home to their families and friends in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Today only 5% of the remittance market is online – with a large proportion of the industry operating through informal untracked networks. Yet online is predicted to grow to 60% in the next 5-6 years and WorldRemit is driving that shift.
By reducing costs and freeing up time we enable people to make the most of the opportunities that their new life abroad provides and help to release the billions of dollars lost in transferring money to the developing world. This money goes directly to those who need it.
Why do we care about money transfers so much?
Most of our customers are first or second generation migrants. They may be living and working far from their home but still manage to send money back to support their loved ones.
Large international wire transfer companies and banks have been taking advantage of people like this by charging preposterous fees and unfair rates.
With the World Bank estimating $575 billion annually flowing into developing countries - transforming the remittance industry could have a greater impact on international development than every single government aid program combined.
WorldRemit is using innovative technology and growing it’s a global network to make transferring money easier, fairer and more affordable.
How are we doing so far?
A family of 650+ employees across offices in London, Denver, Sydney and more
A Fintech Top 20 company
Sending almost 10,000,000 remittances annually (and growing)
Raised $230 million in funding
Funded by VCs behind companies such as Airbnb, Spotify, Netflix and Facebook.
Covering 140+ countries across the globe
What will you be working on?
Based in London, reporting to our Head of Product for the Customer Trust tribe, you’ll lead our data investigations to help us learn faster and smarter.
You will be working in close partnership with product managers among the teams of our Customer Trust tribe, working on diverse and complex areas including: Payments; Fraud; Compliance and; Customer Friction.
These areas are essential to the success of WorldRemit and key data-driven decisions can help us continue our rapid growth. You will be instrumental in helping us better understand our customer’s, leveraging actionable insights to help us build a better service.
As a hand’s on role, you’ll also be experienced in some data engineering activities, helping us get the best out of our data through the automating of data-related tasks to better enable our business to work smart and be data rich.
Main responsibilities:
Help Product Managers understand correlation/causation impacts of our product updates, using this and other data to inform roadmaps
Work closely with product managers to understand problems and stretch their thinking through challenging data
Take our data functions to the next level: working with departments across the business to raise the bar for data science at WorldRemit
Manage multiple projects at the same time: knowing how to balance a workload, with good intuition on when you need to go deeper
Work with stakeholders across the business to identify how we can better use data. Depending on the solution, you’ll help productionise the data-solution to help us automate daily tasks and functions
Present your findings to stakeholders at different levels (including C-suite), so you’ll have an eye for detail and be excellent at breaking down complicated analysis for everyone’s understanding
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for someone hands-on. You’ll be passionate about using data to solve difficult problems and have previous experience in productionising your insights
Evidence of going deep into problems to draw out root causes and essential insights that help direct the business
A passionate advocate for data – you’ll use data to challenge our assumptions. Having confidence in your work and happy to stand behind your findings
A proven track record of working in a B2C business, preferably in the e-commerce space: you understand customer journeys and are always looking at things from the customer’s perspective
Someone who will lead by example as we continue to establish data at the heart of our strategy
Programming experience: Python or SQL would be preferred, but not essential
Innovative mindset – you will have informed views on the latest techniques and technologies and the most effective ways of trialling and deploying them
Cultural fit – We are known for our low ego, non-hierarchical and collaborative culture
