We value flexibility, connection, and wellbeing. You’ll have the freedom to work in a way that fits your life, whether that’s school drop-offs, avoiding rush hour, or making time for what matters most.

Work the way that works for you at Monzo! 💼

Our technology stack:

Our[Data team](https://medium.com/data-monzo)'s mission is to Enable Monzo to Make Better Decisions, Faster

At the core of this mission sits our data platform. We're great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. Our engineers collect analytics events from their microservices, and upload these into our Data stack for analysis. We optimise for simplicity and re-usability – all our data lives in one place and is made available via our data warehouse in Google BigQuery.

We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies (note we do not expect applicants to have prior experience of all them):

- [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/) for all of our analytics infrastructure
- [dbt](https://www.getdbt.com/) and[BigQuery SQL](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/) for our data modelling and warehousing
- Python for data science
- [Go](http://golang.org/) to write our application code
- [AWS](http://aws.amazon.com/) for most of our backend infrastructure

You should apply if:

- What we’re doing here at Monzo excites you!
- You are passionate about using data to improve and inform business decisions
- You’re motivated by solving challenging problems, and communicating and collaborating closely with subject matter experts on those solutions
- You’re excited by the opportunity to work autonomously to impact the future of a fast growing, ever evolving business
- You’re as comfortable getting hands-on as taking a step back and thinking strategically
- You are experienced with using a variety of Data Analysis tools. You know when to pick the right tool, and can help others do the same
- You have a solid grounding in SQL
- Experience in Financial Health is a plus, but not required.
