Software Engineer (Golang)

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 role Our vision is to enable seamless, 24/7 transactions that feel like magic. We aspire to build a platform so extraordinary that it provides our customers with the dependability they deserve. We want transactions to be more than mere exchanges; we want them to become the backdrop for the remarkable experiences we want to offer to our customers.

The Shared Acquiring Services team enables the acceptance and enrichment of payments common across the Authorisations space. Efforts focus on ensuring cardholders have a great experience using Dynamic Currency Conversion where every decimal point matters, ensuring the accuracy of data from schemes where every transaction is meaningful, and improving the onboarding of merchants to payment schemes like Amex so they can focus on running their business without the stress of delays.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will be responsible for maintaining and building resilient, highly-available backend services that form the foundation for Dojo’s payments.
