Senior Android Engineer (contract) in London

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

As an Android Engineer at Dojo, you’ll be at the forefront of creating our brand-new merchant app from the ground up, shaping how business owners interact with us every day. We’re looking for a product-focused engineer who takes real ownership of their work, communicates clearly, and thrives on feedback. You’ll partner closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers, helping us define how and what we build to shape the next generation of merchant tools.

What you will do...

• Solve customer pains by crafting features in collaboration with multi-disciplinary squads.
• Contribute significantly to the development of our new app, owning your code and features from end to end.
• Help create an environment where problems can be shared, understood, and resolved, keeping the customer at the heart of every decision.
• Collaborate with your squad and the wider Android engineering chapter to build a best-in-class product.

What you will bring...

• Strong knowledge of Kotlin and the Android Framework, particularly Jetpack Compose.
• A product-focused mindset and experience making data-informed decisions.
• A solid grasp of reactive programming (Coroutines, RXJava) and architecture patterns like MVVM and Clean Architecture.
• An understanding of unit and UI testing best practices (e.g., Mockk, Robolectric, JUnit).
• Great communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to partner with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience with Dependency Injection, Jetpack Libraries, and CI tools like Bitrise is a plus.

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?

• 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.
