Associate Software Engineer - Intern

Description

We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts , accounts for 16-17 year olds , a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save , invest and combine their pensions with us.

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo

Software Engineering Internship (Summer 2027 )

Closing Date: 1st of November 2026

Engineering at Monzo

We have 500+ engineers across Monzo who design and build our in-house banking platform. We have big ambitions for the future, and technology plays a big role in creating a bank our customers want, so engineers at Monzo collaborate across disciplines to solve interesting challenges throughout the company.

These range from the products our customers use everyday to underlying infrastructure, security, payments and finance, customer operations, financial crime, and data, to name just a few areas. As a bank, there is scope for impact across a huge number of opportunities.

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

Engineering Interns

As a software engineer intern at Monzo, you’ll be matched with a team where you’ll spend the summer working on a real project for our customers. We’ll pair you with a mentor who will support you to design and ship a solution to solve a real problem.

You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside engineers to learn more about software engineering and the types of challenges engineers at Monzo solve on a day-to-day basis.

You’ll spend your internship:

Writing, testing and shipping code that supports new features for our customers

Reviewing code for your colleagues, to pick up any improvements and learn from your peers

Working with product managers, designers and data analysts on your team

Learning about new technologies, engineering practices and what a full-time software engineering role looks like

Proactively seeking out feedback to improve and accelerate your learning

What you’ll be using:

We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies:

Go to write our application code (there’s an excellent interactive Go tutorial here )

Cassandra for most persistent data storage

Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
