Senior Engineering Team Lead

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 an Engineering Team Lead (ETL) in the Customer Apps team, you’ll lead a cross‑functional squad within our Embedded Finance portfolio while remaining hands‑on in the code if support is needed. This is a high‑impact opportunity for an engineering leader who wants to stay technically sharp while continuing to demonstrate proven people leadership.

You’ll be responsible for delivering new value‑add propositions that sit close to our customers while leveraging Dojo’s industry‑leading payments, data, and platform capabilities. You’ll shape how ideas move from concept to production, ensuring technical excellence, delivery predictability, and strong team engagement.

This role exists to combine technical credibility with accountable delivery leadership, ensuring that our squads build fast, build right, and build what matters most for our customers.

• Lead and develop one cross‑functional squad, creating clarity of purpose, consistent execution rhythm, and a solid‑performance culture.
• Coach and support engineers in their growth, performance, and career progression.
• Able to contribute to the codebase when needed, maintaining technical credibility and help set engineering standards.
• Own end‑to‑end delivery of customer‑facing features, including supporting Product and Design in discovery, architecture decisions, and implementation and releasing to production.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to balance speed, quality, and measurable customer impact.
• Ensure high engineering standards across testing, observability, reliability, and security.

• Strong hands‑on software engineering experience in modern backend and/or frontend stacks (e.g., React
  
  JS, recent .NET).
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, with a desire to grow as a people manager.
• A track record of shipping customer‑facing products in an agile, iterative environment.
• Solid understanding of software architecture, APIs, cloud‑native systems, and operational best practices.
• Ability to balance technical depth with delivery accountability.
• Clear communication skills and comfort working cross‑functionally in a fast‑paced environment.

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.

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.

From local bakeries to well‑known eateries, Dojo payments serve over 150,000 places across the UK.

And something that’s fundamental to creating relevant, innovative products at Dojo is to build teams to reflect the diversity of the businesses we serve.

Our drive to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion is closely linked to helping employees thrive and innovating for better customer experiences.

If you care about your work, you’re curious, and you think customer‑first, you have a place at Dojo.
