Job description

Monito (www.monito.com) is an award-winning digital start-up on a mission to save the world $28 billion in excessive money transfer fees and bad exchange rates paid each year. Building the Booking.com for money transfers, we help people sending money abroad find, compare and review all the services available to them in real-time.

Up for a new challenge? We are a product-oriented team based in Lausanne (Switzerland) with global ambitions. Our product is growing fast and we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our journey to building the global hub for money transfers.

What you will be doing as a Senior Software Engineer

• You will have the autonomy to design and implement impactful features and services.

• You will help recruit and train software engineers to grow our development team.


• You will stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends by continuously learning and trying new things.

Here is what we have to offer:

• Take a ride aboard one of Switzerland's most rapidly growing web startups, with global ambitions.


• Work with a modern development stack (Vue.js, PWA, Webpack, Node.js, Docker, AWS ...) and stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends by continuously learning and trying new things.


• Collaborate with super talented and motivated people in a relaxed but hard-working atmosphere.


• Enjoy flexible working conditions that match your own rhythm (we're also a remote-friendly company if you like to work from home part of the time).


• Your work will have a real social impact on over 700M people, reducing the cost of sending money abroad for migrant workers, international students, and expats around the world.

Annual salary range : 85,000 CHF - 108,000 CHF

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply, and we can help with immigration.

Job requirements

Here is what you bring to the table:

• We're looking for someone able to work autonomously and with a self-starter attitude.

• You need to have extensive experience working with modern Javascript (client or server-side).


• You know how to design performant and maintainable APIs.


• You are familiar with cloud platforms and interested in building scalable architectures.


• You know about clean code, development best practices, and guidelines such as the twelve-factor app.


• A start-up is a high-paced and dynamic environment, we want someone with a proactive attitude, self-responsible with a willingness to learn and adapt.


• Building web products with a purpose is our passion, we're searching for someone who shares this same passion and commitment.


• We speak English and French. Fluency in English is a must, French is a plus.
