To make sure you’re the best you can be throughout the recruitment process, let us know if you need any extra adjustments to help you thrive.
Data drives decision-making across our business and shapes how Dojo understands and influences the world. To support this, we’ve built a Self-Serve Data Platform that empowers teams and domains to manage, access, and process their own data. This platform provides the tools needed to make an impact quickly and at scale.
Our Data Platform excels in a multi-cloud environment, seamlessly operating on AWS and GCP. Built with the latest open-source technologies, it not only harnesses cutting-edge tools but also empowers our team to contribute back to the open-source community. By driving innovation and developing new solutions, we continuously push the boundaries of data engineering and analytics.

Dojo from the get-go
First launch was back in 2009. So with over 15 years in the payments industry, we’ve got a story to tell.
Dojo is built to soothe customer and consumer pain points across the world for over 140,000 customers.
And today, there’s over 1,200 of us in multiple locations across the UK, Ireland, Spain, and Italy.
Our mission is to empower businesses to thrive in the experience economy by creating the tools and tech that turns transactions into meaningful relationships.
We do that through sophisticated EPOS payments integrations, fast transactions, hospitality bookings, and a strong consumer restaurant app.
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.
Dojo home and away
We love collaboration. We have offices across Europe – that takes some dynamism.
Long-distance calls are a must, but we’ve always valued in-person work when it’s possible, especially meetings. We aim for asynchronous communication when we can though.
Don’t like rules? Nor do we. We avoid top-down policies – it’s all about teams having the power to fuel their success.
At Dojo, you’re trusted to judge what you see and make the call in the best interest of our customers.
