We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

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.

In Growth, we’re responsible for driving one of the most important company level metrics: new user acquisition. We’re made up of small, autonomous, cross-functional squads and need to collaborate across disciplines to form and test hypotheses with the aim of unlocking value for customers as soon as possible.

We focus on experimentation and using data to make decisions so that we can validate these hypotheses as quickly as possible in order to identify impactful changes and double down on them.

You and your team will have the opportunity to have an impact on both what we build as well as how we build it.

We're looking for a growth-minded Senior Staff backend engineer with strong product experience. 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; progress over perfection.

Role Description

A Senior Staff Engineer at Monzo is a technical (IC) leadership position. As a Senior Staff Engineer in the Growth collective at Monzo, you will:

• Partner with a Senior Engineering Manager supporting the collective and provide technical leadership across multiple squads and ~20 engineers.
• Work collaboratively with product, data and operational leaders to identify and execute on opportunities that further the organisation’s goals and strategy.
• Oscillate between contributing to high-level planning and strategy and organisational leadership and diving deep into the execution of problems and getting hands-on as necessary.
• Use your expert knowledge and experience to lead architectural discussions for complex systems in the collective.
• Keep a high bar for technical excellence in the collective, through your own work, highlighting the work of others and calling out when things haven’t quite met the bar.
• Pro-actively mentor, sponsor and up-level engineers.

Technologies

We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies:

• Go to write our application code.
• AWS for most of our production infrastructure and GCP for most of our data infrastructure.
• Feast for storing our features along a variety of tools to train and deploy models.
• GPT and Vertex models for Large Language Model support.

Requirements

You have a track record guiding teams and stakeholders to prioritise things that drive important metrics and you take the lead in using data to make decisions.

You have a track record of balancing speed of execution with technical excellence, delivering resilient systems for consumer products.

You solve problems end-to-end, from client applications to backend infrastructure.

You have technically led across 3-4 teams to solve complex optimisation problems.

What’s in it for you

We’ll help you relocate to the UK.

We can sponsor your visa.

This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK.

We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team.

£1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are a priority for us and we’re making sure we have lots of support for all of our people to grow at Monzo.

We’re an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to age, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, or veteran, neurodiversity or disability status.
