About our Engineering Teams:

We have around 300 engineers out of roughly 2,500 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.

We contribute to open source software as much as possible. Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!



What you’ll be working on:

Monzo is an appealing target for criminals who try to launder illegally gained funds through our accounts or fraudulently convince our customers to give them their money.

We tackle all types of financial crime, including money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist financing.

We are looking for Web Engineers to help us build amazing internal tools that help our teams in protecting customers and fighting financial crime. We are building a new team focused on efficiency. This small team will focus on identifying and rapidly implementing the most impactful improvements. You will work closely with our domain experts and to build and optimise exceptional tools that enable our financial crime teams to efficiently investigate cases. You will be working with a modern technology stack which includes React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Storybook, Cypress, Playwright, and many more.



Every day you’ll be:

Working closely with the Product Manager and Operations and Risk Domain Experts.
Identifying and scoping opportunities for impactful projects.
Actively contributing to every stage in the product development lifecycle within your team, and owning the development of new features from start to finish.
Working closely with our backend engineers to design APIs to support new frontend features.



You should apply if:

You love building products in cross disciplinary teams using an iterative approach, driven by user feedback and data insight.
You care deeply about providing a great user experience for our users.
You have an interest in building performant web experiences and designing/building UI that makes it easy for users to accomplish what they need.
You enjoy diving deep into dashboards, metrics, and then making decisions/recommendations based on impact.
You enjoy working in a large front-end codebase with many stakeholders.
You understand the importance of prioritisation in your work to ensure a good balance between development velocity and code quality.

You are a keen learner and love sharing your knowledge with others.
