Job description

London / UK Remote | £80,000 - £100,000 + Benefits | Technology - Engineering

About us:

We're here to make money work for everyone and we're doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo.


About our Mobile Engineering Team:

There are over 20 Android engineers at Monzo and we're looking for one more to join the team. We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; 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.


What you'll be working on:

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, built using MVVM (Model View ViewModel) and Coordinators, and modularised by product feature.

We use RxJava, Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Dagger for dependency injection. Room is our choice for persistence, and Repositories for interacting with them. We have built out our design system in Compose.

We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews, and write unit tests for our ViewModels, Coordinators, and any other classes which contain logic. We write tests for all of our Compose screens and snapshot test them with Happo. We also use Espresso to test flows, which are executed through Firebase Test Lab and Circle CI.

We've previously written about building Monzo Chat on Android, which goes into detail on some of these elements.

Your day-to-day:

This role is all about collaborating across disciplines to test hypotheses and make a difference to customers. 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, QA Testers, Data Scientists and Business Analysts.

Your mission will depend on the squad, but currently mobile engineers are working on the core personal banking experience, paid products, 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 who will meet with you every 2 weeks 1:1, their mission is to help you develop and grow as an engineer.


You should apply if:

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've shipped and iterated on at least one app in the Play Store
  • You have a product mindset: you care about customer outcomes and you want to make data-informed decisions
  • You love turning excellent design into beautiful products
  • You're comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity
  • You have an understanding of the principles of computer science

The Interview Process:

Our interview process involves three main stages:

  • Initial Call
  • Take home task or pair coding exercise
  • Final interview including a system design and a behavioural interview

Our average process takes around 2-3 weeks but we will always work around your availability.

You will have the chance to speak to our recruitment team at various points during your process but if you

do have any specific questions or want to talk through reasonable adjustments ahead of or during application please us at any point on [email protected]

One of our engineers has written a detailed blog on their experience through this process, for extra details, hints and tips please see here.


What's in it for you:

£80,000 - £100,000 base salary➕ plus stock options

✈️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
