Monzo is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer

Requirements

  • strong experience working on the backend of a technology product
  • you want to be involved in building a product that you (and the people you know) use every day
  • you have a product mindset: you care about customer outcomes and you want to make data-informed decisions
  • 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.)

Benefits

  • Incentive Awards tied to your performance
  • We can help you relocate to the UK
  • We can sponsor visas
  • This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London)
  • We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, at times that suit you and your team
  • Learning budget of £1,000 a year for books, training courses and conferences

Additional Information

  • We value meeting in person but there’s no pressure to come into the office, even if you're nearby. We believe you'll do your best work if you are where you want to be. If you live outside of London and we ask you to come into the office, Monzo will support you with the costs.
  • We keep our meetings during core hours to stay connected and believe in maintaining work/life balance. You’ll be empowered to manage your work in a way that suits you and your team, giving you the freedom for children drop-offs and pick-ups, walking your dog or adventurous cat, avoiding peak commuting times or gym slots, appointments, or supporting your family in an emergency.
  • We’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply— even if you don’t have everything thats listed just yet.
