Offer description

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.


Hear from our UK team about what it's like working at Monzo

About Platform Engineering at Monzo:


The Platform Collective builds and maintains the infrastructure, tools, and processes that set the rest of Monzo's technology teams up for success. We work on a wide range of shared infrastructure, services, and engineering tooling.

The Infrastructure Platform team sits within the Platform Collective and is responsible for managing the Kubernetes clusters that power the bank, our service mesh, networking setup, and cloud interaction management. Our team comprises backend engineers and cloud infrastructure experts, leveraging our experience and software engineering skills to solve problems and manage our cloud infrastructure.


Our Infrastructure Platform team has two focus areas:


* Building and managing the cloud infrastructure that underpins Monzo's technology, running across AWS and GCP, including Kubernetes and Envoy
* Helping other platform teams succeed by abstracting complexity and enabling them to solve customer problems

We are investing heavily in this team to support Monzo's growth from 10 to 20 million customers, expand our product range, and set the foundations for global scaling.


What you'll be working with:


We rely on the following tools and technologies, but direct experience is not required and the interview process can be completed in any language:

* Go for application development
* Kubernetes for workload management
* AWS and GCP cloud platforms

* Envoy Proxy for service mesh


We'd love to hear from you if...

* You have experience with AWS and/or GCP
* You have experience with Kubernetes
* You are excited to build a platform that enables success for everyone at Monzo
* You are comfortable working in ambiguous environments
* You enjoy solving problems through automation
* You have experience with strongly typed backend languages
* You are curious about systems and troubleshooting

We are currently looking for L40 & L50 Platform Engineers. More details can be found in our Engineering Progression Framework.


The Interview Process:


1. Initial Call
2. Take-home task or pair coding exercise
3. Final interview: system design and behavioral interview


The process typically takes around 4 weeks, but we accommodate your availability. You can contact us at tech-hiring@monzo.com for questions. An engineer has also shared their experience in a blog, available here.


What's in it for you:


* £95,000 - £130,000 salary + stock options
* Relocation assistance to the UK
* Visa sponsorship
* Flexible work location and hours
* Learning budget of £1,000 annually
* And more benefits detailed here
