About Machine Learning Platform Engineering at Monzo

The Machine Learning Platform team builds the systems that help teams across Monzo train, evaluate, deploy and serve ML models and AI features safely and reliably.

We work on backend services, Python libraries, model lifecycle tooling, evaluation workflows and low-latency serving systems. Our users are internal ML engineers, scientists and product teams building with ML and LLMs.

The work matters because machine learning powers many important decisions and experiences at Monzo, from fraud checks and credit decisions to customer operations. We help teams move faster while keeping production systems reliable, observable and safe.

This is a platform engineering role in the ML and AI space. We’re looking for someone who combines strong software engineering foundations with ML or AI context, and who enjoys building tools and systems for other engineers.

🧰 What you'll be working with...

Go for backend services, platform APIs, and production systems

Python for libraries, workflows, and tooling used by our ML engineers and scientists

Feature platforms and data workflows using Chronon, Feast, and DataHub

Model training pipelines and experiment tracking using Vertex AI and Comet

AI observability, evaluation, and tracing using Langfuse

AWS for real-time serving and online inference, GCP for batch compute and our BigQuery data warehouse.

(Please note direct experience with all of them is helpful but not required and our interview process can be completed in any language).

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if...

You combine solid backend engineering with real ML or AI platform experience (ML pipelines, feature stores, model serving, experiment tracking or LLM tooling)

You’ve designed and operated distributed systems that handle scale, concurrency and failure

You think like a platform engineer, focused on developer experience and removing friction for internal teams

You’re happy working across both Go and Python

You enjoy ambiguity and want to shape a platform as it grows

You have experience with strongly typed languages, writing and working on backend software

You’re curious about how systems behave in production, including reliability, latency, quality, safety and operational risk

🤔 This might NOT be the right fit if...

Your background is predominantly DevOps, SRE or infrastructure operations

You’re focused on data science or modelling

You’ve shipped AI product features but haven’t worked on the platform side (serving, evaluation, model lifecycle)

Levels

We're on the look out for Engineers of varying levels at the moment. You can read more in our Engineering Progression Framework - we will interview you across the entire framework, so if you are not sure what level you are aiming for please chat to your recruiters!

About our Engineering Teams

We have around 600 engineers out of roughly 5,000 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
