🚀 We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.
We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.
After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and
business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK,
with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.
With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning
customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!
We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ❤️

⭐OUR MOBILE ENGINEERING TEAM
There are ~40 Android engineers at Monzo and we’re looking for 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.
Monzo works in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 400 engineers out of roughly 4,500 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.
🔑YOU’LL PLAY A KEY ROLE BY...
We’re searching for product-focused Android engineers to evolve our native mobile app. You’ll take pride in building polished user
experiences, and you’ll balance the need for well-tested resilient code with moving fast and iterating.
You’ll be working on a product that is a part of day to day life for more than 11 million people already, and your work here will
shape the way that people interact with their finances.
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, and Data Scientists.
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. Mobile engineers at Monzo work on everything from the
personal banking product to customer support tools. We also have a small mobile platform squad dedicated to enabling other
engineers to move faster.
Every week we meet as an Android 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 1-2 weeks 1:1. They’re dedicated to helping you grow and
develop as an engineer.
OUR ANDROID APP
Our app is 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. We’re starting to use Coroutines for most new
features. Room is our choice for persistence, and we use repositories for interacting with data. We’ve built out our design system
with 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 via our continuous integration system.
We’ve previously written about building Monzo Chat on Android, which goes into detail on some of these elements.
🤩 WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF…
- You care about the impact your work has on our customers, and optimise for outcomes rather than the number of lines of code you
output
- You’re excited about and have experience in programming in Kotlin
- 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 computer science principles
We're on the look out for L30 Engineers at the moment, you can read more in our Engineering Progression Framework you will be
interviewed across the whole framework, so if you're not sure what level you're aiming for chat to your recruiter!

to make sure you don’t miss out.

communicate this with you and keep you updated.
