Our success relies on us rapidly shipping new features. To achieve this rapid release cadence, we’ve optimised our engineering culture, tooling, and architecture to go from idea to production as frictionless as possible, without sacrificing safety.

Last year, I made the switch into engineering management full time. It’s been an interesting journey with lots of lessons learned.

Our Mobile Platform team recently faced the challenge of having to remove all synthetic view properties. This post explains how we built a tool to automate the task and the trade-offs we had to consider along the way.

Everyone at Monzo gets involved in testing new features and versions of the app before we release them. In this post Sarah, part of our Quality Assurance team, explains the different types of tests we use and how we run them.

Jarryd joined Monzo as an engineering manager a few months ago. In this post he shares his journey to Monzo and how he found his feet in his new role.

Our Security Infrastructure team introduces the principles we follow to build security in Monzo’s fast-moving engineering environment and how they work with other engineering teams to keep our customers and platform safe.

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.
