Our core principles of innovation, teamwork, and client-focused solutions drive us to approach challenges with a growth mindset and take ownership of our work. 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

With Dotdigital, marketers can seamlessly unify, enrich, and segment customer data.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer you will be working in one of our scrum teams, building new functionality, as well as scaling our platform to deal with our ever increasing customer and data volumes. You’ll work alongside Product Managers, QA 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 prioritise customer success; and we’re 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’re adopting AI tools in our SDLC where they make sense. Sometimes with huge success, and sometimes with resounding failure – but we’re excited about the future.

We use the leading cloud providers to power the Dotdigital platform and process hundreds of millions of pieces of data every day for some of the world’s largest companies, so there’s plenty to get your teeth into.

About You

Essential skills:

• Solid C# .NET (we build with .NET 8+, but have some 4.8 also).


• Experience with web development using Typescript/ES6, ideally Angular.


• SQL experience (you’ll most likely encounter SQL Server, Google BigQuery, and other dialects such as ClickHouse, MySQL).


• Experience working within a software engineering team (git, PRs, scrum, agile, etc) – ideally a remote‑first team.


• Remote‑team communication skills – excellent spoken and written communication.

The more experience you bring, the better; and of course, you’ll have an opportunity to learn when you get here.

Why Us

"Working at Dotdigital is a fulfilling experience. The job’s nature and flexibility, combined with strong ethics, create a fantastic work environment. The camaraderie within the team is outstanding, ensuring you’re never working alone – truly a great company with great people."

To top up our social batteries, we meet up quarterly in person (we have a meetup per country) and work together for a day, have some food and drink, and have fun. Tens of thousands of people use our software every day and we’re proud that they chose to use our platform, and we’re proud of what they achieve with it. Whether you’ve worked with something at this scale, and can bring your experience; or whether you’re keen to try the next step up in your career – come and join us.
