Please note: we get lots of successful applications for Backend Engineer, so there could be a delay in scheduling interviews from the initial stage right up until the final interviews. If you're invited to interview and you have any immediate time pressures, please let us know, as we'll always do our best to speed things up for you 😊
Our backend engineers have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; 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.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and,following Stripe’s example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We regularly run hackathons in which people build things on our third party API and we contribute to open source software as much as possible. We’ve also made ourproduct roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum. Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!
Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 150 engineers out of roughly 800 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.
At Monzo you will get to work with a lot of exciting new technology.
We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies:
Go to write our application code (there’s an excellent interactive Go tutorial here)
Cassandra for most persistent data storage
Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
Envoy Proxy for RPC
Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run our services (Oliver,our Head of Engineering, gave a great talk at KubeCon on how we use these technologies)
AWS for most of our infrastructure
React for internal web dashboards
We also have two physical datacenter sites with actual cables to connect to various third parties
You should apply if:
the work we’re doing sounds exciting!
you want to be involved in building a product that you (andeveryone you know) use every day
you’re keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry
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.).
At the moment, the following teams are looking for backend engineers:
Product The product backend team work primarily on creating backend services and APIs for our in-app user-facing features. They work closely with our mobile engineers and designers to create a delightful user experience, and to drive growth and retention. Projects that Product backend engineers have worked on recently include Summary (giving people insight into their finances to empower them to spend sensibly) and the Current Account Switch Service (all the hard work to allow users to move to Monzo quickly and easily).
Lending The Lending team works on making borrowing money simple, fair and transparent. They've already shipped and scaled overdrafts to hundreds of thousands of Monzo customers and they've made it easy to take out a loan without the unfair fees or confusing pricing that you find elsewhere. They work on everything from the way borrowing works in the app, right down to how they move and account for money that our customers borrow. One of the most interesting problems they face is deciding how much to lend and to whom. The team believes that they can make access to credit fairer and more transparent.
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).
We offer competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between £40,000 - £100,000 per year.
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
We’re continually hiring for Backend Engineers! Our interview process typically consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code task, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard

We created Jodel to let you instantly connect, share, and engage with the community around you. We built thriving local communities across Europe and continue to expand globally. With over 1 million users creating more than 6 million posts per day, we have one of the industry's highest retention rates. We've attracted great investors such as Christophe Maire, Adam d’Angelo, and the Floodgate Fund, and even been the subject of several academic papers.
We're growing our Engineering team around a culture of sustainability and empowerment. We're dealing with dynamics such as being local, signup-lean and many more, which give us new problems to solve -- we’re literally breaking new ground in the Social Network space. Data-driven by default, with a bias for quality and code sustainability, and fostering a solid DevOps and Automated Testing culture, Jodel's Engineering team is the place to be!
Attitude we're looking for * You’re naturally motivated and proud of doing great work; * Numbers and data are the best way to drive your decisions; * You have a strong personality, sense of ownership and responsibility; * You put people and human interactions above processes and rules; * You understand the value of "measure twice - cut once" and you work by this mantra; * You own your successes and your failures, and constantly seek to improve; * You keep your mind on the product we're building, and are permanently aware of how each small action influences its success.
What we value * Your studies were in Computer Science, Mathematics or Engineering; * You're a problem solver, and you’re eager to experiment and learn new things; * You write code optimizing for clarity and readability; * You value testing very highly; * You write software aiming at reducing the cost of change; * You enjoy pair programming and code reviews, and see your job as a collaborative effort rather than solitary work; * Engineering work is mostly about compromises and so you're always open to discuss different approaches to problems; * You're happy to collaborate with your community and industry, either in open source projects or presenting at meetups and conferences;
Skills we're looking for * You have experience with either Node.js or Golang, but you're definitely interested in doing more Golang as part of your job; * You want to work in Distributed Systems; * You have experience with MongoDB and Redis, beyond "I have played with it in the past"; * You have a bias to automate things when possible; * You’re ready to embrace a DevOps culture, because an Engineer’s work doesn’t end after we ‘git push’; * You're ready to work with Linux, Cloud providers, Docker, Kubernetes
What do we offer? * An Empowered Team -- Engineering owns tech debt and tech improvement decisions; we collaborate tightly with our product team but we're all very mindful not to step on each other's toes. We own technical decisions, take responsibility and are accountable for them.. * Preventive culture, rather than reactive -- While some of us participate in on call duties, we have a very low amount of actual production emergencies. A lot of energy goes into fixing root causes and we are very proud of not having anyone in firefighting mode. * Career building is part of the deal -- you don't join to just write tests and contribute to the product - you also join to improve your career. We pay special attention to your personal development and make sure you're focusing on the skills that matter the most to you. * Lean processes -- we try hard to cut meetings and processes to a minimum, to ensure that you’re being productive. And we encourage all interactions to be direct and open, not forcing you to go through any intermediaries to get your work done. * United in diversity -- with people from all over the world, from Tunisia to France, from India to the Poland, we are multicultural by default and proud to be so. We all come from different walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and we continue to push for diversity in our team! * We're building a team, not just making money -- we solve hard problems together but we also relax and have fun. From team cooking to going on company trips, from office parties to go-karting, we'll make sure you have a good work-life balance. * The future will be amazing -- the list of non-trivial challenges we'll be dealing with includes developer APIs, security issues, scaling access to a lot of data (among other things we can't tell you about :-) ); all of this with location and anonymity as their own dimensions in Jodel. * No one else is doing what we're doing -- it's that simple. We're pioneering local communication and since communication is a basic human need, our work is super exciting. On top of that, we are one of the few large scale European Social Networks. There’s not that many and we're very proud to be "Made in Europe".

Trustory is a decentralized social network to validate claims that people make.
THE PROBLEM
The internet is a place where anyone can tell their stories and be heard. Yet, in being open and permissionless, the internet sacrifices trust. If you really want the truth, you have to read credible sources, cross-reference them, and remove the bias. See the problem?
OUR SOLUTION
We’re building a decentralized application on top of the internet that doesn’t sacrifice trust or convenience, to get the truth. Using game-theoretic incentives, it’s possible to create a social network that validates the truthfulness of information.
WHAT WE VALUE
We value ethical, curious, and passionate people.
We don't care about your grades. We don't care about your pedigree. We care about your intellectual tenacity. We care about how you think not what you think.
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU A GOOD FIT
OUR TEAM
TECH STACK
We’re changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we’re a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.
For the people who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer.
And that’s just what we’re doing today. We’re thinking about the future, too. With teams working on new modalities, self-driving cars and even urban air transportation, we’re in for the long haul. We’re reimagining how people and things move from one place to the next.

You’ll work with some of the most talented, high-velocity engineering teams and ensure that the most pressing development problems are solved, and the solutions are reusable for engineers everywhere in the organization. The code you build and maintain will be at the heart of critical systems across Uber, from infrastructure to user-facing products and services. You’ll empower a large and quickly-growing engineering organization to do its best work and deliver high-quality products quickly. You’ll ensure that moving fast doesn’t mean sacrificing stability, quality, performance or maintainability. And along the way, you’ll get to shape the very future of engineering at Uber.
We need passionate, skilled developers who can think at both the code and organizational levels, engineers who care deeply about building systems and libraries the right way, who are eager to take on ownership of business-critical code, and who are opinionated and uncompromising in their pursuit of technical excellence.
Experience working on distributed software projects in a large organization.
