Job Description
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. We want our bank to be safe and secure for our customers, so security is very important to us
Security at Monzo
Monzoâs security team has a wide range of responsibilities, from infrastructure security to application security. As a bank, we are solving diverse, novel problems to ensure that our customers are safe and secure.
One of the guiding principles of security at Monzo is that security at the expense of user experience is a last resort. We aim to move mountains in the background such that we can build world-class features without compromising on security.
As a member of our security team you would be responsible for constantly improving the security of Monzo, and you would work closely with other teams to ensure that our systems are secure by design. Of course, security incidents can and do occur, and the security team is involved with many different types of incident response.
Our 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 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 regularly run hackathons in which people build things on our third party API and we contribute to open source software as much as possible. Weâve also made our product 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!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.

Monzo works in project-based sprints in small, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 190 engineers out of roughly 1000 people in total - and we have big ambitions. As a security engineer here you'd be able to work directly with lots of teams 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:
Go to write our application code (thereâs an excellent interactive Go tutorial here)
Cassandra for most persistent data storage
Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
Linkerd/Finagle 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 weâre doing sounds exciting!
you want to be involved in building a product that you (and everyone you know) use every day
youâre constantly looking for flaws in systems and can reason about how best to address them
youâre keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry
youâre comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity
youâre interested in distributed systems and writing resilient software
you have some experience with strongly-typed languages (Go, Java, C, Scala etc.).
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to distributed working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).
We have payroll set up in five countries: the UK, Ireland, France, Poland and Spain. 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 competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between ÂŁ40,000 - ÂŁ100,000 per year.
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If youâd prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, weâll try our best to make this happen. Just let us know in your application so we can plan for it.
We're usually always hiring for Backend Engineers in Security, so there's no closing date for this job.
Our interview process is normally a phone interview, a coding task and call to discuss it, and 2-3 hours of onsite interviews. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions.

Backend Engineer Resin London, United Kingdom / Remote $53,000 to $58,000 a year
August 2018
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Resin.io provides a software platform that helps developers build, deploy and manage code on connected devices. We brought Docker to embedded GNU/Linux devices in 2013 and have been building our IoT toolkit ever since. We also maintain a variety of successful open source projects including Etcher, Balena, and resinOS, and made contributions to high-exposure projects such as Docker, Electron, and AppImage.
Our technology is open, standards-based, and proven in production across a wide range of scenarios from drones, 3D printers, point-of-sale devices, tidal turbines, skyscrapers and more. Our investors include DFJ, Aspect Ventures, GE, and Ericsson.
Resin is a highly distributed, remote-friendly company with a pretty much flat hierarchy. Our organization is adaptive, getting feedback signals from our users and systems. Right now we organize ourselves by projects, which allow us to build complex features and solve big problems, while staying mutable. As a distributed group, we rely on clear communication and the rule of "assume positive intent" to help us work together across time zones, cultures and first languages. Our base of operations is nominally London, though really we are living all over the world: from Barcelona to Bulgaria, Argentina to Vietnam, and many more.
On being a Backend Engineer at resin.io
We maintain a service infrastructure for IoT devices, and this is where we have quite a bit of our engineering talent. You will be actively working on one or more of these core components, fixing bugs, solving complex technical problems, and implementing user-facing features across the resin.io stack. While resin.io focuses on IoT, the majority of our engineers don't require embedded programming expertise.
People who are successful engineers are well-rounded generalists and great communicators. They are eager to take responsibility for a project, and are able to make good decisions about the project because they have the context of what's important.
We don't require engineers to be already familiar with the technologies we use. We are happy to invest in people that showcase a strong understanding of the challenges of building secure distributed systems.
Responsibilities
Actively invest back in our own technology, libraries, and frameworks
Understand security best practices and strive to apply them in your work
Be highly motivated to produce great code
Evaluate customer requirements and other inputs to determine the scope and timing of new functionality
Design, architect, and own the execution of your projects
Ensure the architecture of our distributed system remains cohesive
Collaborate, brainstorm, and coordinate work with other resineers
Understand the high-level goals, and thus know how to prioritize your work
Challenge orthodoxy when that will help the product evolve
Work efficiently with a certain amount of ambiguity in the tasks you're executing
REQUIREMENTS
Need to have:
Desire to make yourself and others more effective. You'd be bothered by an inefficient process
Good understanding of software engineering practices and how to apply them
Excellent written communication skills, and fluency in English
Self-discipline to take on a project and push it to completion without too much management. You also know when to ask for help
Strong problem-solving abilities. You know how to split a complex problem into incremental pieces
Basic front-end development skills
Nice to have:
A sample of your work (URL or attached sample)
Contributions to OSS projects (please include a URL)
Having worked remotely before
Experience with Resin.io as a user
Experience with embedded GNU/Linux, anything ranging from personal projects with a Raspberry Pi to commercial or industrial scenarios with custom devices
Experience with React, Node.js, Docker, PostgreSQL, or Kubernetes
Experience with embedded development and microprocessors
Experience with the Electron framework and cross-platform development
Experience leading software projects in the open source world
Make sure to let us know if any of these items apply to you!
Perks & Benefits
Work with an extremely talented, diverse team
Equipment of your choice
Remote-friendly
Flexible working hours
Flexible vacation policy

Backend Go Developer Geckoboard London, United Kingdom ÂŁ40,000 to ÂŁ61,000 a year
August 2018
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
At Geckoboard we help businesses use their data to align their teams on the metrics that matter most to them. Weâve been busy reimagining the way our customers get their data in Geckoboard and have a lot of interesting and creative work to do to shape their experiences. Right now, weâre looking for curious problem solvers to help us on this journey.
What are we working on?
We've completely rebuilt how data gets into Geckoboard from third-party APIs, thanks to a query planner that's written entirely in Go. Our query planner takes in the metrics that a customer would like to track, and produces a plan for how to fetch and transform those metrics from a third-party JSON API such as Zendesk, Intercom, Google Analytics, etc.
Weâre now working on extending this platform and building various microservices for tracking our customers' rate limits and scheduling metric refreshes in the most efficient way possible. Weâre also creating a caching engine that ensures we don't waste precious API calls on data that we know hasn't changed since last time.
The team are also in the middle of splitting up our existing REST APIs into gRPC microservices with segregated data stores. Which is a huge opportunity for us to rethink some of the fundamental assumptions about Geckoboard's data model and how we can re-architect our systems for greater reliability and to enable us to ship with more confidence.
We donât expect youâll have worked on all of these kinds of projects before, but if they take your fancy and youâre excited about working on distributed systems and database technologies at scale, weâd love to hear from you.
As one of our Backend Go Developers:
Youâll be writing in Golang on a day-to-day basis.
You will help architect, design, and build Geckoboardâs data pipeline.
Youâll maintain and optimise our existing infrastructure and services.
You will get involved in the prioritising and evaluation of our work.
Youâll pair with team members and get involved in code reviews.
Joining us in our London office, youâll be working alongside a growing team of empowered engineers, with a focus on building a high quality product our customers love, work life balance and personal development.
Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build live TV Dashboards that focus teams on what matters. We take the complexity out of connecting data and make it simple for anyone to understand key metrics at a glance. We have pre-built integrations with 60+ tools including Google Analytics, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom and Google Sheets and our customers include Marketo, Slack, and Skyscanner.
In our mission to make data useful, our growing team of 40+ is headquartered in London and span across eight time zones - from Mumbai to London, San Francisco to Hawaii and more. We're always looking for people with diverse backgrounds who bring unique perspectives and skills to join our team and in return we constantly strive to ensure that we offer the most encouraging, inclusive, and efficient environment possible.
We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to regularly work from home lets you work in a way that fits you and your family. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days of paid holiday as a minimum for everyone in the organisation, not a limit.
We actively contribute to professional development, courses, conferences, and books. Our Engineering & Product team also run fortnightly "Innovation Wednesdays", where everyone has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from contributing to open source, to learning a new skill, or improving our internal tools and processes.

Job Description
What if owning things was no longer important? What if expensive, niche items could be available to you in seconds? And what if you could generate an extra income from your own belongings? At Fat Llama, we're already bringing about that future. We believe that one day, owning those things we only occasionally need will be as ridiculous as buying a house every time you want to go on holiday.
Our users enjoy on-demand access to anything from high-end cameras to drones to campervans. As a result, they're doing, creating and achieving incredible things every day. Income from rentals is changing the lives of many of our lenders, too - whether it's paying their rent or allowing them to drop corporate jobs and focus on passion projects.
The herd's growing fast, too. Last year we went through Y Combinator and recently announced a $10M raise from amazing investors to superpower our growth and focus on American growth.

Job Description
Lead Engineer - Go, Python, AWS
Are you an enthusiastic, experienced engineer with excellent experience in Go or Python, looking for the opportunity to work in a small and growing start-up?
MachineMax is actively hiring a Lead Engineer to join them - a team of around 20 people, they are creating a world first machine analytics service that will deliver, analyse and visualise data to improve machine efficiencies through the use of IoT technologies, Machine Learning methods, and cutting-edge techniques.

Responsibilities:
Develop a range of APIs to serve multiple internal consumers, from customer facing apps to machine learning pipelines
Design and deliver high quality, well-tested code in Go/Python
Communicate with other teams and individuals to plan, coordinate and collaborate
Pitch in where needed as a valued member of an autonomous, cross-functional team
Share technical solutions and product ideas
Champion testability, security, and scalability
Requirements:
Excellent development experience building scalable backend services in Go or Python
Excellent architecture and design skills
Experience working with distributed systems
Analytical skills, with a love for problem solving and troubleshooting
Confidence in deploying production applications using AWS, Google Cloud or similar
Enthusiasm for CI/CD and the benefits you've seen when using this in previous projects
A strong understanding of databases and when to use relational and non-relational
A strong understanding of the fundamentals - data structures, algorithms, OO design and system architecture
Unix/Linux experience
Communication skills, happy to collaborate and talk with the rest of the team
Solid understanding of Agile development methods
