We're looking for a product-aware Android engineer to help us build the best banking app in the world.
You’ll be responsible for building the app that makes Monzo amazing for millions of Android users - NFC, Android Pay, widgets, Intents and more. We’ve just started developing an alpha version of our Android app, based on the core functionality we’ve established from user feedback during our (iOS) alpha.
You'll work closely with our designers and the rest of our engineering team, shaping the development of our product to ensure we're making the most of the Android platform. You'll centre users in the way that you think, and have a passion for great UI and UX.
We want a mobile team that’s evenly balanced, with Android and iOS on equal footing. Our design team understand Android best practices and care deeply about giving a slick native experience: we want to delight each platform’s users.
We’re using RxJava and Retrolambda as we think it makes asynchronous code more readable and easier to maintain. The Monzo Android app targets Android Marshmallow with Lollipop as its minimum SDK version. We want to make use of the latest SDK features where it makes sense.
We're looking for someone who enjoys collaborating with designers and engineers, and loves learning new things.
You should apply if:
- You want to build a product that you and everyone you know will use literally every day.
- You have contributed to shipping one or more apps in the Play store.
- You love turning excellent design into beautiful products.
- You enjoy developing apps that delight users.
Extra points if you:
- Have an understanding of the principles of computer science
- Have experimented with some other programming languages and databases
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, and we're open to remote working as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London.
Our interview process consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard!
