Responsibilities
- We’re searching for product-focused Android engineers to evolve our native mobile app. You’ll take pride in building polished user experiences, and you’ll balance the need for well-tested resilient code with moving fast and iterating.
- You’ll be working on a product that is a part of day to day life for more than 15 million people already, and your work here will shape the way that people interact with their finances.
- 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, and Data Scientists.

We also have a small mobile platform squad dedicated to enabling other engineers to move faster.
- Every week we meet as an Android discipline to discuss tools, techniques, problems we're encountering across the company and work together to improve our codebase and processes.
- You'll report to an engineering manager who will meet with you every 1-2 weeks 1:1. They’re dedicated to helping you grow and develop as an engineer.
Requirements
- You care about the impact your work has on our customers, and optimise for outcomes rather than the number of lines of code you output
- You’re excited about and have experience in programming in Kotlin
- 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 have an understanding computer science principles
