About The Position

Monstro is the operating system for governed financial intelligence. We build the control layer that allows artificial intelligence to be deployed safely, explainably, and at institutional scale. We exist because the kind of guidance historically reserved for the wealthiest individuals shouldn’t be limited to a small fraction of the world. By combining AI with deep institutional infrastructure, we help financial institutions deliver more personalized, responsible, and life-changing financial support to millions of people — not just a few. We’re a team of builders who care about meaningful problems, high standards, and long-term impact. If you’re motivated by shaping systems that expand access, improve financial outcomes, and redefine how AI is used in regulated industries, you’ll feel at home here. About the Role We’re looking for a founding Senior Android Engineer to help build the native Android experience for our financial platform. You’ll design and deliver secure, high-performance features that help users understand and manage their financial lives, while laying the foundation for a long-term mobile architecture. This is a hands-on, collaborative role where your work will directly shape the core experience our users rely on every day. Why This Role Matters Monstro’s mobile app is central to how users interact with their financial universe. Your work will help define the quality, responsiveness, and trustworthiness of that experience. The systems you build must be secure, elegant, and resilient—handling sensitive financial data at scale while remaining intuitive and reliable.
