Software Engineer - Data Platform

We’re reinventing payments. In less than four years, Dojo disrupted the market to become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose-built for in-person commerce, is game changing. Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us every year. But we’re just getting started. Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive. The results take care of themselves.

The Team’s Mission

Our mission is bold: to build a state-of-the-art data platform that empowers teams across the organisation with fully self-serve capabilities. This enables them to easily own, process, and manage their event-driven data pipelines with efficiency and ease. At Dojo, data is at the heart of our decision-making process and influences how we understand and shape the world. To empower this, we've built a Self-Serve Data Platform that enables teams to manage, access, and process their own data independently. This platform provides the tools necessary for teams to make a significant impact quickly and at scale. Join us and be part of one of the fastest-growing tech companies, leveraging an advanced tech stack to shape the future of our industry. Our Data Platform operates seamlessly across multi-cloud environments, leveraging both AWS and GCP. Built on the latest open-source technologies, it allows us to not only push the boundaries of data engineering and analytics but also contribute back to the open-source community through continuous innovation and solution development.

• This role will allow you to master the three pillars of every organisation: Software Engineering, Infrastructure, and Data.
• Software Engineering: Develop microservices, libraries, Flink jobs, data pipelines, and Kubernetes controllers.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to define, design, and implement solutions within our Data Platform. Trusted relationship will be key for success.

• Developer Experience: Focus on optimising the developer experience to simplify platform adoption and onboarding.

What you’ll bring:

• Problem solving skills: Strong problem solving skills which can help navigate problems in day to day work.
• Programming Proficiency: Experience with Java, Python, or Golang with hands-on expertise in building scalable systems.
• Collaboration Skills: A proven ability to collaborate effectively with a diverse set of stakeholders, aligning technical solutions with business needs. This position requires not only deep technical expertise but also a proactive, engaging approach to working with others and building lasting partnerships.

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas. That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week. With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.

Question: what’s curious, relentless, and customer obsessed? If you’re keen to know the answer, you’re a third of the way to meeting our Dojo values. If the following speak to you, let’s talk:

• You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
• You’re relentless. You keep going even when it’s easier not to.
• You’re customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do.
