"Thank you. It is an absolute delight to be interviewed once again. I'm really, really excited for this topic. Yes, it is something that I love talking about with other engineers, engineers from different organizations, and yes, hopefully we get a bit of feedback for people who are listening to this podcast on how they have it within their organizations. So yes, thank you once again."
"Suhail is a principal engineer at Monzo focused on building their core platform. His role involves building and maintaining Monzo's infrastructure, which spans nearly 2,000 microservices. He recently spoke at QCon London about navigating personal growth as an individual contributor at a rapidly growing company. In today's conversation, we'll dig into how to stay resilient during those high growth transitions and what that means for the sociotechnical systems we build and depend on."
Monzo's platform grew from a small initial system into an infrastructure of nearly 2,000 microservices, requiring continuous building and maintenance of core platform capabilities. Rapid company growth led to evolving roles for individual contributors who must navigate changing responsibilities while maintaining technical resilience. Engineers benefit from sharing experiences and feedback across organizations to manage sociotechnical complexity. Many established banks continue to rely on mainframe architectures that remain profitable despite differing engineering preferences. Organizational fortune and deliberate architectural decisions influenced Monzo's transition toward microservices and the need to design systems that support scalability and developer growth.
