Using Organise, Amazon drivers landed national media coverage, including an exclusive BBC Newsnight investigation, exposing their working conditions & calling on Amazon CEO to lower their parcel targets back to a safe level. Theyâve also met directly with MPs and got the Amazon CEO grilled in front of Parliament. 40% of drivers have had their targets lowered to a safer level now as a result - a huge win for their collective action.
Over 100,000 members pressured the government to abandon their plans to scrap the laws protecting paid holidays and rest breaks (working time directive) - including sending tens of thousands of messages sent directly to the Business Secretary in the 24 hours leading up to the U-turn. Civil servants tell us (off the record) that the department were âastonishedâ by the level of public backlash to the plans.
Dan*, a Census worker, started a campaign when he noticed Census temporary workers were being asked to travel to attend their first-day induction without being offered to have their travel expenses covered. In response to thousands of people joining the campaign, ONS has agreed to make sure all temporary workers are reimbursed for their travel expenses. With this and the update to the Census Jobs FAQs page clarifying the expenses policy, Census workers can start their jobs without being out of pocket.

Ravelin is looking for a senior backend engineer to lead the development of a high volume fraud technology platform within a small tech team. You will be invited and expected to have opinions about the strategic direction of the company and products, as well as leading the development team from the front. A successful candidate will be willing learning new skills (machine learning, neural networks, python, golang, cloud automation etc), turning their hand to necessary tasks and working with complete autonomy.
Code for Humans
Your machine is happy if it compiles; your team is happy if they can understand what it does. Your pull requests are succinct and a pleasure to review, you have unit tests where it matters, and you understand that the code is not, in fact, the documentation.
Reliable & Resilient Software Not for you the happy path or the assumed network. That habit of yours of assuming the worst and planning for it has earned your stripes in the world of running software at scale under real-world conditions.
Tools for the Team
Whether it's a smart command line utility or a core internal library, you excel at improving everyone's lives by removing repetition & common sources of error, and by solving hard problems in accessible ways. You build internal processes that are so reliable they melt into the background but are key to getting work done.
APIs
You've been on the receiving end of APIs good and bad, and want to delight our customers with the high quality they expect. You know that whilst everything should be JSON, sometimes you have to get your hands dirty with some SOAP for that critical integration but know how to isolate the contagion.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.
Weâre looking for a Backend Engineer to join our TechOps squad at Monzo.
Our TechOps squad is primarily responsible for making sure everyone at Monzo has all of the tools they need to do a great job. That means managing all of our devices (predominantly running Mac and Chrome OS), managing our G-Suite domains, providing 1:1 support to Monzonauts across the business, and much much more.
A big contributor to the success TechOps have had to date is the way weâve embedded engineers in the squad, meaning weâve been able to automate away a lot of the manual work traditionally associated with a TechOps squad.
This has allowed us to move quickly, achieve an incredible ratio of TechOps people to total employees, and reap the benefits of being able to hire people all across the world without friction.
Youâll help us solve problems such as:
Youâll be a backend engineer in the squad. Some of the projects youâll be involved in might include:
Youâll work closely with TechOps generalists and engineers from around the business to tackle some of the challenges mentioned above, working at the intersection between Security, People and TechOps to make sure weâre moving forwards together.
Security, scalability and how we continue to support the services youâre building should always be front of mind.
Youâll also have the opportunity to coach and mentor others in the squad on engineering best practices. We want to empower everyone in the squad to automate away the low-value manual work, and youâll be key to unlocking this potential alongside other engineers in the squad.
At Monzo weâre aiming to build the best current account in the world. We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal đ
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, weâd love to talk to you. We do not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of our engineering roles.
We are actively creating an equitable environment for all of our engineers to thrive
Diversity and inclusion are a priority for us and we are making sure we have lots of support for all of our people to grow at Monzo. We provide a sponsorship framework in Engineering for women and people of colour; all of our leaders are trained on privilege awareness and we are creating partnerships with organisations dedicated to supporting underrepresented groups. You can read more in our 2020 Diversity and Inclusion report.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and, following Stripeâs example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We contribute to open source software as much as possible. 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 1,400 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 youâll 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:
Our product squads are truly cross-functional.
This role is all about collaborating across disciplines to test hypotheses and make a difference to customers. As a product backend engineer youâll work in a squad alongside product managers, marketers, user researchers, designers, mobile engineers, web engineers, data analysts, business analysts, writers and more!
Salary is around ÂŁ69,000 - ÂŁ116,000 plus stock options and other benefits.
We can help you relocate to London & we can sponsor visas.
This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working (with ad hoc meetings in London once COVID is over).
We have payroll set up in three countries: the UK, Ireland, and France. Right now, we can only hire people who work from those countries and weâll keep this updated with new ones as we expand and are able to hire from more places đ
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.
Diversity and inclusion is a priority for us â if we want to solve problems for people around the world, our team has to represent our customers. So we need to attract the best talent and create an environment that supports and includes them. You can read more about diversity and inclusion on our blog.
If you prefer to work part-time, we'll make this happen whenever we can - whether this is to help you meet other commitments or strike a great work-life balance.
Our interview process is normally a phone interview, a coding task and call to discuss it, and 2-3 hours of onsite interviews that can be conducted via hangouts as well. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions. We might design a system together on a whiteboard, the same way we often work together, but we wonât make you write code on one.
Equal Opportunity Statement
At Monzo, embracing diversity in all of its forms and fostering an inclusive environment for all people to do the best work of their lives with us. This is integral to our mission of making money work for everyone.
We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, veteran, neurodiversity status or disability status.

Excited about the idea of working on distributed systems at scale? Want to be writing Go everyday? With great people? Weâre looking for curious problem solvers to do just that.
At Geckoboard, weâre working to help teams achieve their goals by enabling a fresh way of working. This revolves around making sure that important data gets seen and acted upon. Thatâs where our dashboards come in. Geckoboard is straightforward dashboard software that makes it quick and easy to surface live business data, metrics and KPIs for teams.
We're all here to build something great. You'll be joining a growing team of empowered engineers in a supportive environment that values experimentation, work-life balance and personal development. We've built a culture of knowledge sharing and feedback, so you'll be involved in planning and prioritisation of work as well as peer reviews and pair programming.
Learning is also a big part of our engineering culture. About once every fortnight you're able to take a whole day â an Innovation Day â to work on projects that interest you, learn new skills or contribute to open source⊠whatever it may be! We encourage these projects and often they have led to improvements in the way we work or concepts that have then been prioritised, developed further and added to our Product.
We work in small and focused cross-functional teams, usually made up of a Product Manager, a Designer, and a mix of Frontend and Backend Engineers. QA and Infrastructure tend to come in at the points they're needed or for specific projects. We scope out our project such that we're able to deliver meaningful work but small enough to iterate and take on board feedback quickly. We encourage our engineers to get involved in different teams and projects based on their interests, skills and opportunities to learn. We're also equally mindful about technical debt and make sure we dedicate time to addressing it.
**Product
**Our product teams each own a different part of the product, building features that improve Geckoboard for our customers. Some of our recent work has ranged from a new send-to-Slack feature, SSO and in the team youâll be joining initially, weâve been building a brand new internal framework for importing, storing, and analysing data from third-party APIs we integrate with. We know that investing in our Data Platform is the best way we can deliver flexible, high-quality integrations quickly and easily. The new framework takes care of managing and scheduling imports, responding to webhooks, receiving analytics queries, migrating data from one version to the next and allows us to build internal gRPC services using a common protobuf interface upon it.
**Platform
**We believe that we can only be successful as an Engineering team if we are constantly and systematically investing in our tooling, our common systems, and our developer experience, this is where our Platform team comes in. Our recent work has ranged from rapid response work to improving test and trace coverage, migrating existing services to Go modules and support for other teams. We're also working on enabling older RESTful services to be migrated onto gRPC with a GraphQL API gateway in front.
What weâve described sounds interesting
Youâre interested in distributed systems
Youâve worked with Go before*
You want to build a product that delights its users and genuinely serves their needs
Youâre collaborative; you empathise, listen and discuss
You actively seek out feedback in your work and to ensure you understand the problem youâre solving
We know that there are great candidates who may not exactly fit into what weâve described above, or who have important skills we havenât thought of. If thatâs you or youâre not sure, please apply, weâd love to hear from you.
While most of our team are normally based in our leafy East London office, a lot of us work remotely at least a day or two during the week. This means weâve always been intentional about making sure our ways-of-working are remote-friendly so we can support that flexibility for everyone. We also have fully remote team members, though the expectation is that youâre comfortable with a visit to the London office about once a quarter (except during pandemics).
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, our office remains closed and everyone on the team is working from home presently. Weâre likely to continue working from home over the Winter. We keep a close eye on the government guidance, regularly update the team, and plan to open our office only when itâs safe to do so again.
Some of our team have shorter working weeks and weâre more than happy to try to accommodate this or another arrangement whenever possible. Just let us know what works best for you or that youâd like to chat about it in your application.
At this time, weâre only considering candidates who are (or will be) based in the United Kingdom (regardless of whether youâre onsite when out offices reopen or fully remote). Unfortunately, weâre unable to provide sponsorship for this role.
The whole process takes about 2-3 weeks end to end, but weâre flexible!
Do you want to join our team as our new Backend Go Software Engineer? We'd love to hear about you!

Our technology transforms the way credit checking and credit scores work by generating a more accurate and holistic view of a borrower's creditworthiness.
