About Us
Monarch came out of private beta in early 2021. Since that time we have quickly become one of the premier ways to manage your financial life. Customers love the product and we have seen rapid, organic growth. Our users say that Monarch helps them feel more confident in their finances, and more confident in their financial future.
Our founding team consists of product-driven, serial entrepreneurs with multiple exits. Additionally, our CEO was one of the original creators of Mint.com and has a unique perspective on what is needed to meet consumers needs in this market.
We are passionate about building a company, product and brand that both customers and employees love. We are well-funded by top venture firms and angel investors.
We founded the company as a fully-remote team (pre Covid!) and are open to applicants that live within a 5 hour time zone difference of US Pacific Time.
The Role
The Senior Backend Engineer is crucial for growing and evolving our web and mobile apps, focusing primarily on backend (Python/Django/API) while occasionally jumping into the frontend as needed. This role involves close collaboration with product, design, and engineering teams to ensure we are building robust backend infrastructure with our users in mind. Key responsibilities include: designing backend APIs and database modeling, system architecture, improving backend practices across engineering, creating documentation, and mentoring your peers. You will typically work with a lot of autonomy, and be expected to own the full implementation of whatever you work on.
