Our iOS app

Our app is 100% Swift and our latest features are built in SwiftUI and using elements of The Composable Architecture. Historically we built using a Model, View, View-Model architecture (MVVM). We use Coordinators to ensure we can re-use flows wherever possible, and avoid tightly coupling one screen to another. We make heavy use of protocols and extensions throughout our app.

Our networking stack is built upon Alamofire, using a generic interface to easily de-serialise objects of a certain type, and we mirror our backend micro-service architecture by building individual services to house our API logic. We log liberally to get alerted when they're triggered in Sentry which we also use to monitor crashes.

Our testing stack comprises of unit tests for business logic, stubbed API tests for pseudo-integration tests, snapshot tests for UI, and XCUITest for testing user input and sequencing.

We've published some talks and blog posts about how we work:

Hiring process

5 steps4 interviewsa task to do
  1. Recruiter call

    With a recruiter · 30 min

    Background on Monzo and its mission, and a check that the role is the right fit.

  2. Initial interview

    With a senior team member, e.g. Head of Engineering or Head of Product

    Talk through specific recent projects with a senior member of the team.

  3. Task

    Not every role

    A take-home task with a review session, a live coding interview, or a project walkthrough presentation, depending on the role.

  4. Team collaboration interview

    With two potential teammates · 60 min

    A trial of working with a couple of potential teammates.

  5. Problem-solving interview

    Video call · 60 min

    Approach to solving a problem; for engineers a systems design on a virtual whiteboard.

  • Most interviews are held over video calls.
  • Take-home tasks are not speed tests; the aim is to see how you approach the problem.

Hiring process

Our interview process involves three main stages:

  1. Initial Call
  2. Take home task or pair coding exercise
  3. Final interview including a system design and a behavioural interview

This process should take around 2-3 weeks - your schedule is really important to us, so we promise to be as flexible as possible!

We have some guidelines on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ace an application and interview at Monzo. You can read them here.

There's a detailed blog on the interview process, for extra details, hints and tips.

We'll only close this role once we have enough applications for the next stage. Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don't miss out.

If you're successful in applying for this role, we'll work with you to find a start date. In some cases, there might be a delay in when you can be released from your current role so that we can make sure things continue to run smoothly. We'll be sure to communicate this with you and keep you updated.

In their own words

About the company & team

There are ~60 iOS engineers at Monzo and we're looking for more to join the team. We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we'd love to talk to you.

We have around 650 engineers out of roughly 5,500 people in total - and we have big ambitions. There are many interesting challenges ahead, and we're happy for people to move between teams or to specialise, whatever you prefer. As an engineer here you'd be able to work directly with anyone across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you'll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication.

We contribute to open source software as much as possible. Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!

🔑 You'll play a key role by...

We're searching for product-focused iOS 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 11 million people already, and your work here will shape the way that people interact with their finances.

As an iOS Engineer at Monzo you'll work in a small, autonomous product squad alongside Android Engineers, Backend Engineers, User Researchers, Product Designers, Product Managers, QA Testers, and Data Scientists.

You and your team will be responsible for an overall company goal, rather than building a specific feature - you'll have the opportunity to have impact on both what we build, and how we build it. Mobile engineers at Monzo work on everything from the personal banking product to customer support tools. We also have a small mobile platform squad dedicated to enabling other engineers to move faster.

Every week we meet as an iOS 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.

Additional information

Diversity and inclusion are a priority for us and we're making sure we have lots of support for all of our people to grow at Monzo. At Monzo, we're embracing diversity by fostering an inclusive environment for all people to do the best work of their lives with us. This is integral to our mission of making money work for everyone. You can read more in our blog, 2026 Diversity and Inclusion Report and 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report.

We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to age, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, or veteran, neurodiversity or disability status.
