Cardiff, London or Remote (UK)
Our take: The real work here is building and supporting resilient distributed backend systems in Go, inside a cross-disciplinary squad, so a bank you actually use keeps solving real problems for its customers.
If you love building resilient distributed systems in Go and want the code you ship to power a bank that you and everyone you know actually use, this is your kind of squad. You will work shoulder to shoulder with product managers, designers, researchers and analysts to test real hypotheses and change how money works for people. Monzo trusts you to work where and when suits your life, funds your learning, and cares far more about customer outcomes than shipping products for their own sake.
