We're on a mission to make money work for everyone.
We're waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.
With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!
We're not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo.

About Platform Engineering at Monzo:
The Platform Collective builds and maintains the infrastructure, tools and processes that set the rest of Monzo technology teams up for success. We work on a wide range of shared infrastructure, services and engineer tooling.
The Infrastructure Platform team sits within the Platform Collective and is responsible for running the Kubernetes clusters which all services that power the bank run on, our service mesh and networking setup, and managing how other teams interact with our cloud environments. Our team is made up of backend engineers and cloud infrastructure experts, using our experience and software engineering skills to solve problems and manage our cloud infrastructure.
Our Infrastructure Platform team Has Two Focus Areas:
1. We build and centrally manage the cloud infrastructure that underpins technology at Monzo, running across AWS and GCP.
2. We help other platform teams to succeed at using cloud infrastructure by abstracting away the complexity and enabling them to solve real customer problems.
What you'll be working with:
We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies, please note direct experience in these technologies is not required and our interview process can be completed in any language:
* Go to write our application code (there's an excellent interactive Go tutorial here), in platform we build services to manage parts of the platform.
* Kubernetes - most workloads we run are on Kubernetes with this team being responsible for the underlying cluster's management.
* AWS and GCP - whilst our primary platform is in AWS our footprint in GCP is continually growing and we are increasing our maturity across both of these platforms.
* Terraform is primarily how we manage any resources deployed into the cloud.
* Envoy Proxy for our RPC service mesh.
