Our squads belong to our wider collectives (a word we use to describe self-governing business units of ~100 people). Our collectives are doing innovative work, many of which have machine learning and AI at the forefront - from fighting financial crime to building smarter financial tools - and you may have the opportunity to join a collective that gives you direct exposure to this exciting space. Our backend engineers have a variety of different backgrounds. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you. We do not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of our engineering roles. How we work 💻 Locations & Flexible Working:  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 we don't have a mandated requirement on office attendance, 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 🍽️.
