We want to explain exactly what our Backend Engineering interview process entails to make it fair and transparent for all our applicants. This post explains what you should expect from each of our interviewing stages and how to prepare.

Our mobile interview process is designed to learn about your strengths. The post explains the specific skills and abilities that will make you successful in the role and what to expect in the interview process.

We hire lots of different people in Data who join us to work in a lot of different teams. Our interviews are designed to do two things: teach you about Monzo and capture information that tells us the role is right for you.

As Monzo has grown, we've continued to change our on-call process so we can keep our systems running smoothly without sacrificing the wellbeing of our engineers. Luke Briscoe explains what we've changed and how.

In June 2021 we started designing and implementing a new way to calculate balances that is more reliable and consistent. This post explains why the old approach needed improving and the changes we made.

This post explains how our public key infrastructure uses a combination of different secret storage systems to implement a balance between security assurances and usability.

We ship changes many times a day while making sure that payments are processed as expected. This blog post explores how we do this and focuses on two ideas that could be useful outside of the world of payment processing.

We make lots of decisions based on data from customer support. We need to make sure we can trust this data. In this post, Niamh explains how her team validated the data.

Your Monzo account is more secure and you have access to all our latest features when your app and phone are up to date.

Bee Skerritt joined the Infrastructure squad as a backend engineer. In this post, he explains his journey to Monzo and his experience so far.

As a bank, we have private keys and other 'secrets' we need to protect, to keep our customers and ourselves safe. Our security controls work together to stop even the most determined and capable attackers.

An overview of the data stack we use at Monzo, some of the challenges we face, and what we want to change.

How our engineering teams document pull requests to help other teams and their future colleagues review changes.

We're experimenting with ways to measure, track, and improve the quality of our software.

We introduced the first progression framework for engineers about three years ago. But as the engineering organisation has changed, we found it was hurting, not helping career conversations at Monzo. This is what we did to fix it.
