Engineering Manager

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’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead multiple squads within our Customer Apps department. This is a manager-of-managers role, accountable for two strategic domains currently comprising four squads. You will line manage two Senior Engineering Team Leads (SETLs) and, in the interim, directly oversee one senior cross-functional squad.

This role reports into the Head of Engineering and is a key member of the department’s engineering leadership team. As Customer Apps brings new value-add propositions to life, we need strong technical and people leadership to scale delivery without compromising quality, customer focus, or engineering standards. 

You will shape organisational design, develop engineering leaders, drive delivery excellence across domains, and ensure technical direction aligns with Dojo’s broader platform strategy.

This is a high-impact opportunity to influence how we build, scale, and evolve customer-facing products that sit close to the merchant experience while leveraging Dojo’s industry-leading payments capabilities.

What you will do

• Lead and develop two domains currently across four squads, building a high-performing leadership layer through SETLs.


• Own organisational design, hiring, succession planning, and capability growth across your areas.


• Drive predictable, high-quality delivery while balancing innovation, speed, and technical sustainability.


• Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Commercial stakeholders to ensure customer outcomes drive engineering priorities.


• Maintain technical oversight across domains, ensuring architectural decisions align with Dojo’s long-term strategy.


• Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.

What you will bring

• Proven experience as a senior Engineering Manager or equivalent, leading managers of engineering teams.


• Track record of scaling and evolving multiple squads while building strong leadership capability reporting into you.


• Excellent stakeholder management skills, influencing across engineering and business leadership.


• Strong technical background with the ability to challenge architectural decisions and guide long-term technical direction.


• Experience operating in product-led, customer-centric environments with fast iteration cycles.


• Experience improving engineering effectiveness (e.g. delivery predictability, quality, DORA metrics, cost efficiency).


• Ability to balance delivery execution with strategic thinking and organisational development.
