Platform Engineer (Hiring Immediately)

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

We are looking for an established Platform Engineer to act as a technical catalyst within our Core Infrastructure team. We believe in empowering our engineering teams by removing friction and automating the heavy lifting to transform our infrastructure into a competitive advantage. You will thrive in a high-autonomy environment where we treat Platform as a Product, ensuring our delivery is sustainable, scalable, and healthy!

We are an impactful group of specialists dedicated to reducing cognitive load for the rest of Dojo. We are passionate about fostering a culture of psychological safety and technical excellence while building self-service solutions that power our entire organisation. We want you to help us grow by sharing your expertise, resolving complex challenges creatively, and shaping the future of our internal platform!

What you’ll do:

• Own a significant infrastructure workstream, from designing creative solutions to maintaining high-quality production services.
• Develop and optimise self-service tools and Kubernetes operators, primarily using Go, to simplify the developer experience.
• Lead the implementation of robust CI/CD and GitOps patterns using ArgoCD to ensure fast, reliable deployments.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to share knowledge and provide the technical guardrails they need to succeed.
• Leverage data and marketplace insights to proactively identify more effective ways to manage our multi-cloud environment.
• Guide and mentor peers by explaining the why behind technical decisions and providing regular, actionable feedback.

What you’ll bring:

• In-depth expertise in managing cloud-native infrastructure, with a strong focus on Kubernetes, Terraform and GCP.
• Proficiency in designing and maintaining Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and GitOps workflows.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (such as Go, Python, Node.js, or C#) with handson expertise in Golang, a desire to build production-grade automation and internal tooling.
• A proven ability to deliver high-quality work independently while managing the ambiguity of a fast-paced environment.
• Strong collaborative skills and experience building relationships with stakeholders outside your immediate team.
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving that balances technical excellence with the needs of the business.
• Commitment to team growth through knowledge sharing and a focus on continuous improvement!

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.
