Senior Software Engineer
Monq is building AI agents that autonomously negotiate high-value enterprise contracts. We're tackling a $4.2 trillion market that's still run on spreadsheets, gut instinct, and back-and-forth emails. Our platform gives Fortune 500 procurement teams the speed and intelligence to close better deals, faster.
We're looking for a senior engineer to help develop the Monq platform. You'll work across the full stack: APIs, frontend, database, infrastructure. We move fast with AI-native tooling — Cursor, Claude Code, and agentic workflows are part of how we build, not something we're "exploring." This is a foundational role where your code ships to enterprise customers weekly.
Ready to build the technical foundation of a category-defining company? Let's get in touch.
What You'll Be Doing
Full-Stack Product Engineering:
Build and evolve production APIs in NestJS, Fastify, and Prisma that power negotiation workflows
Ship responsive, polished frontend experiences in React and TypeScript using Mantine
Design and maintain our multi-tenant PostgreSQL data model with clean isolation and performant access patterns
Own cloud infrastructure on AWS — Terraform, Docker, ECS, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
Write tests that matter — unit, integration, and E2E with Playwright
Contribute to engineering culture through code reviews, implementation specs, and architectural decisions
What You'll Need
Essential Experience:
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in early-stage or high-growth environments
Strong in TypeScript and modern React — hooks, server state, component architecture
Built production Node.js APIs (NestJS, Express, or Fastify) and know your way around PostgreSQL and ORMs
Comfortable with AWS, Docker, Terraform, and owning the full deployment pipeline
Use AI coding tools daily — Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or similar — and have opinions on how to get the most out of them
Can take a loosely defined problem, define an architecture, and ship a production solution in days
Care about simplicity — you'd rather delete code than add abstractions
Enjoy working directly with customers to understand what they actually need
Nice to Have
Experience building multi-tenant SaaS with enterprise auth (OAuth 2.0, Auth0, SSO)
Hands-on experience with LLMs in production — prompt engineering, RAG, tool use, agent orchestration
Familiarity with OpenAPI, code generation, and API-first workflows
Understanding of procurement, contract management, or enterprise B2B domains
Compensation and Benefits
At Monq, we recognise that we're building category-defining technology in a massive market. We offer:
Competitive Package:
Significant equity stake — play a real part in Monq's potential to capture a $4.2T market
Bi-annual performance bonuses tied to successful pilot deployments and customer outcomes
Work Environment:
Fully remote with quarterly team gatherings
Direct collaboration with Fortune 500 procurement teams
Annual team retreat — fully-funded off-site focused on AI innovation and team building
Career Growth:
Visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates who complete our recruitment process
Opportunity to define the future of AI-powered enterprise negotiations
Direct mentorship from experienced AI researchers and enterprise software veterans
Others:
No HR organisation
Minimum 30 days of annual leave and a day off in the month of your birthday
Flexible working hours as long as we get the things done
Temporary work from abroad up to 120 days a year (certain limitations apply depending on your nationality/work authorisation status and tax obligations)

About Monq
Monq is building the first AI platform specifically designed for strategic procurement negotiation. We're creating a blue ocean in a $4.2 trillion market that has been ignored by existing AI solutions. Our team brings together deep technical expertise in AI with proven experience in enterprise software and procurement.
We're backed by forward-thinking investors who understand the massive opportunity in applying advanced AI to high-value B2B negotiations. With several major enterprises joining us, we're positioned to become the category-defining platform for AI-powered procurement. We are founded and backed by Revolut and HSBC executives.
We're a small, flat team that values simplicity, ownership, and shipping. We use AI tools aggressively — not as a novelty, but because they make us faster. We like engineers who are opinionated about code quality but pragmatic about deadlines.
Why This Matters: Every 1% improvement in strategic procurement represents a $42 billion market impact. We're not just building software — we're creating the future of how businesses negotiate their most critical deals.
Equal Opportunities Statement
Building the future of enterprise negotiations isn't enough. Our team members are a priority, and we're committed to creating an inclusive workplace where diverse perspectives drive exceptional innovation. We're not just doing this because it's the right thing to do — we know that seeking out diverse engineering talent and creating an inclusive environment is how we create exceptional, innovative products for our enterprise customers.
Monq is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, age, disability, pregnancy or maternity, or any other basis as protected by the Equality Act 2010.

Accommodations for Applicants with Disabilities
Monq is dedicated to providing reasonable accommodations to job applicants with disabilities. If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, please indicate this in your application or contact us directly at recruitment@monq.io.
Important Notice for Candidates
Job scams are on the rise, and fraudsters sometimes impersonate companies like Monq to target applicants. Please keep these guidelines in mind when applying for any of our open roles:
Apply only through official Monq channels. We post roles solely on our own careers page and verified partner job boards such as LinkedIn. We don't use third-party agents or platforms to manage our recruitment, and we'll never contact you about a role you didn't apply for.
Verify every email. All genuine communication from our team comes from an official @monq.io address. Check the sender's full address carefully — lookalike domains (extra letters, swapped characters, or free email providers like Gmail or Outlook) are a red flag.
We will never ask for money or financial details. Monq does not request payment, equipment fees, or personal financial information (bank details, card numbers, deposits) at any stage of the hiring process. Any such request is a scam.
When in doubt, confirm. If something feels off, pause and verify directly with us before responding or sharing any information.
If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from Monq, please don't reply or click any links. Report it to us at security@monq.io and, where relevant, to your local authorities.
