Description

• There are over 20 Android engineers at Monzo and we're looking for one more to join the team. We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we'd love to talk to you. • At Monzo, you'll get to work with industry standard tools and technologies - and help us define what great looks like for Android engineers. Our app is almost 100% Kotlin, built using MVVM (Model View ViewModel) and Coordinators, and modularised by product feature. We use RxJava, Retrofit and Moshi for API calls and Dagger for dependency injection. Room is our choice for persistence, and Repositories for interacting with them. We have built out our design system in Compose. We use GitHub Pull Requests to do code reviews, and write unit tests for our ViewModels, Coordinators, and any other classes which contain logic. We write tests for all of our Compose screens and snapshot test them with Happo. We also use Espresso to test flows, which are executed through Firebase Test Lab and Circle CI. We've previously written about building Monzo Chat on Android, which goes into detail on some of these elements. Your role will involve collaborating across disciplines to test hypotheses and make a difference to customers as an Android engineer at Monzo. You'll work in a small, autonomous product squad alongside iOS Engineers, Backend Engineers, User Researchers, Product Designers, Product Managers, QA Testers, Data Scientists and Business Analysts. Your team will be responsible for an overall company goal, rather than building a specific feature - giving you the opportunity to impact both what is built, and how it is built. Every week, the discipline meets to discuss tools, techniques, problems encountered across the company, and work together to improve the codebase and processes. You'll report to an engineering manager who will meet with you every 2 weeks 1:1, with the mission to help you develop and grow as an engineer.

Requirements

• You've shipped and iterated on at least one app in the Play Store • You have a product mindset: you care about customer outcomes and you want to make data-informed decisions • You love turning excellent design into beautiful products • You're comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity • You have an understanding of the principles of computer science

Benefits

• £78,000 - £110,000 base salary plus stock options • We can help you relocate to the UK • We can sponsor visas. • This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London). • We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, at times that suit you and your team. • Learning budget of £1,000 a year for books, training courses and conferences • And much more, see our full list of benefits here
