Our take: The real work here is turning complex banking and payments regulation into clear, practical advice that lets product teams keep building safely and fast.
You will be the lawyer product teams actually want in the room, turning dense payments and banking regulation into advice engineers and product managers can act on. The pull here is ownership: you spot the legal issues early, weigh the risk, and find the answer that lets Monzo keep shipping safely. If you like being close to the product, comfortable with ambiguity, and genuinely curious about where banking and technology meet, this is your kind of work.
