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.
As a Senior Software Engineer in the Data Products team, you will play a key role in shaping how we transform Dojo’s payments data into valuable insights for our merchants. You’ll contribute to building scalable data products and APIs that enable small businesses to understand their performance, benchmark against peers, and unlock new opportunities for growth.
You will actively participate in Agile ceremonies such as daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives, collaborating closely with product managers, analysts, and engineers across the business. Our team is at the heart of Dojo’s mission to help merchants thrive by providing intelligent, data-driven insights through accessible and impactful products.

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.
