Were on a mission to make money work for everyone.
Were 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!
Were not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo
London or Remote (UK) | Base salary 170k - 225k + Equity + Benefits
Monzo has successfully launched in Ireland and is expanding across Europe. We're now entering the next phase of our journey: building and scaling a multi-market European bank.
The EU Engineering organisation sits at the centre of that ambition. We are responsible for helping Monzo launch, grow and operate across Europe, navigating everything from product-market fit and customer growth to regulatory requirements, localisation and operational scale.
Unlike most engineering organisations at Monzo, EU does not own a single product area. We work horizontally across the company, partnering with teams across Payments, Core Banking, Growth, Wealth, Customer Operations, Fincrime, Platform and many others to bring Monzo's products to new markets and deliver great customer experiences locally.
As an Engineering Director, you'll lead a distributed engineering organisation across the UK, Spain and remote locations. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, Operations, Risk, Compliance and executive stakeholders to solve complex problems that span organisational boundaries.
Success in this role comes through influence, relationships and organisational leadership as much as execution. You'll need to build alignment across a wide range of teams, create clarity in ambiguity, and help Monzo discover what works in new markets while establishing the foundations that allow us to scale across Europe.
This is one of Monzo's most strategically important areas and a unique opportunity to help build a European bank from the ground up.
After an informal ~30 min recruiter call our interview process involves 2 main stages:
At all stages well create space for you to ask as many questions as you have, youre interviewing us as well!
Our average process takes around 3-4 weeks but we will always work around your availability. You will have the chance to speak to our recruitment team at various points during your process but if you do have any specific questions ahead of this please contact us on tech-hiring@monzo.com. Please also use that email to let us know if there's anything we can do to make your application process easier for you, because of disability, neurodiversity or any other personal reason.
Our main tech hub is in London, but our engineers live everywhere in the UK from Brighton to the Western Isles.
We value meeting in person but theres no pressure to come into the office, even if you're nearby. We believe you'll do your best work if you are where you want to be. If you live outside of London and we ask you to come into the office, Monzo will support you with the costs.
Our offices are naturally social, especially Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, which happen to line up with our twice-weekly Monzo lunches & treat Thursdays . Teams also schedule time together often for work and play in or around the office, or online.
At Monzo, we value connections, flexibility, and wellbeing. We keep our meetings during core hours to stay connected and believe in maintaining work/life balance.
Youll be empowered to manage your work in a way that suits you and your team, giving you the freedom for children drop-offs and pick-ups, walking your dog or adventurous cat, avoiding peak commuting times or gym slots, appointments, or supporting your family in an emergency.
Work the way that works for you with Monzo!
