At Dotdigital, collaboration and curiosity pave the way for meaningful connections and learning opportunities with diverse peers. Our work environment encourages knowledge sharing, fosters exploration, and cherishes creative ideas. Combined, these guide us towards a shared vision in which brands around the world exceed customer expectations through the adoption of responsible marketing practices.

The Product: Dotdigital is an all-in-one customer experience and data platform (CXDP) that empowers marketing teams to exceed customer expectations with highly personalized cross-channel journeys. With Dotdigital, marketers can seamlessly unify, enrich, and segment customer data. Breaking down data silos, Dotdigital streamlines decision-making and paves the way for marketing creativity that delivers customer engagement at scale.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer, you will be working in one of our scrum teams, building new functionality and scaling our platform to deal with our ever-increasing customer and data volumes. Working in the Product Engineering team, you’ll collaborate alongside Product Managers, Quality Assurance Engineers, and many other talented people. We ship regularly, with automated deployments at the click of a button, and when you join us, we want you to ship code to production in your first sprint. We prioritize customer success and are rigorous about security at every stage of the development lifecycle. Some of our problems are unique to large software – dealing with large datasets, maintaining very high throughput, and 24/7 platform uptime.

We use the leading cloud providers to power the Dotdigital platform and process millions of pieces of data every day for some of the world’s largest companies, so there’s plenty to get your teeth into. For this role, we’re looking for someone who has strong and current Node.js and Python skills, with experience in web development. Managing large volumes of data is core to everything we do, so experience in working in high-performance environments will be a huge plus.

We’re remote! Our product and technical teams are currently based in the UK, Poland, and South Africa, and our 180 team members all work from home. We do make office and co-working spaces available, but that choice is up to you. We keep in touch with each other via Slack and Zoom and have a great collaborative culture. To top up our social batteries, we all meet up quarterly in person (we have a meetup per country) and work together for a day, and let off some steam with activities or tech talks.

About You

The Product Engineering team has five department values that we use to guide us, and we hope they’ll resonate with you. They are:

• Simplicity
• Shipping fast, sustainably
• Ownership
• Be excellent to each other
• Communication makes us stronger

These are the essential technical skills we need you to bring to us:

• Node.js
• Python
• React
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Experience of working within a Software Engineering team (git, PRs, scrum, agile, etc) - ideally a remote-first team.

Over your time with Dotdigital, you’ll likely also get involved with some of the following, so experience would be a plus:

• Django
• MongoDB
• Azure DevOps
• Google BigQuery
• CosmosDB
• Azure Service Bus / Pulsar
• RabbitMQ
• .NET MVC / WebApi
• Angular
• nUnit
• High performance / big data systems
• Multitenant systems
• Information security

Don’t just take our word for it - hear what your future colleagues have to say about working in our team: "Working at Dotdigital is a fulfilling experience. The job's nature and flexibility, combined with strong ethics, create a fantastic work environment.
