Analytics Engineering at Monzo
We have around 50 Analytics Engineers out of roughly 200 data practitioners in total - and we have big ambitions for the discipline. Analytics Engineering is at the core of how we build our data to enable Monzo to make better and faster decisions by having a performant, scalable and high quality data warehouse. As an Analytics Engineer here you'll be working collaboratively with other disciplines like product, engineering and data science, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn loads about everything from our data modelling principles to how banks work and effective communication.

What you’ll be working on:

The Analytics Engineering team is responsible for building downstream data models from backend services with the desire to make our Data Warehouse a genuine competitive advantage for Monzo. We want a discipline capable of building an amazing Data Warehouse to support decision making, Business Intelligence, key financial reconciliation processes and best in class analytics and Data Science.

You’ll enable our data driven approach, and:

  1. Support the building of robust data models downstream of backend services (mostly in BigQuery) that support internal reporting, machine learning as well as financial and regulatory use cases.
  2. Focus on optimisation of our Data Warehouse, spotting opportunities to reduce complexity and cost.
  3. Help define and manage best practices for our Data Warehouse. This may include payload design of source data, logical data modelling, implementation, metadata and testing standards.
  4. Set standards and ways of working with data across Monzo, working collaboratively with others to make it happen.
  5. Take established best practices and standards defined by the team, applying them within other areas of the business.
  6. Investigate and effectively work with colleagues from other disciplines to monitor and improve data quality within the warehouse.
  7. Contribute to prioritisation of data governance issues.
  8. We all own and support the pipelines we contribute to, and on call support out of hours will be expected from time to time as part of this role.
We’d love to hear from you if…
  • You enjoy working with cross functional fast moving teams and are passionate about serving small businesses.
  • You are able to think strategically about the Business Banking product and how our underlying data models will unlock more insights for our team and more value for our customers.
  • You have a strong passion for data modelling, ETL projects, and Big Data.
  • You enjoy working with data streams from various services, such as financial, transactional, and operational systems.
  • SQL and data modelling are second nature to you, and you are comfortable with general Data Warehousing concepts.
  • You are committed to continuous improvement, proactively identifying opportunities and addressing challenges in your work and the work of others.

Nice to haves

  • Any experience working within a finance function or knowledge of accounting.
  • Experience working in a highly regulated environment (e.g. finance, gaming, food, health care).
  • Knowledge of regulatory reporting and treasury operations in retail banking.
  • Exposure to Python, Go or similar languages.
  • Experience working with orchestration frameworks such as Airflow/Luigi.
  • Have previously used dbt, dataform or similar tooling.

Negotiating Your Data Science Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Data science has rapidly evolved from a niche specialty to a cornerstone of strategic decision-making in virtually every industry—from finance and healthcare to retail, entertainment, and AI research. As a mid‑senior data scientist, you’re not just running predictive models or generating dashboards; you’re shaping business strategy, product innovation, and customer experiences.
