The Company: Dotdigital is a thriving global community of passionate, dedicated professionals, committed to the collective success of the organization and its clients. 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.

With powerful AI capabilities, Dotdigital makes it easy to automate deeply personalized experiences across web, email, SMS, WhatsApp, chat, push, social, ads, and more.

About the Role

In short - you’ll be helping to bootstrap a brand new product! So we need you to be comfortable building and iterating high quality code and infrastructure, quickly. We’re creating a small, autonomous team inside Dotdigital to start work on this product; but you’ll have support from other technology experts inside Dotdigital, and as the new product grows, more team members too.

Skills

  • You’ll be building the backend in modern dotnet 8 so we expect strong C# skills
  • You’ll be building the frontend in either Angular or React
  • The data backend will either be MongoDB or SQL Server

We’re remote! Our product and technical teams are currently based in the UK, Poland, and South Africa and our 200+ team members work from home. We do make office and co-working spaces available, but that choice is entirely up to you. We’re very much 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, share knowledge, and have fun.

Tens of thousands of people use our software every day and we’re proud that they chose to use our platform, as well as proud of what they achieve with it. We hope the product you’ll be building achieves similar success - no pressure!

We're proud of our colleagues who work from a range of different countries, and we want to build strong, diverse teams of people who have different backgrounds and experiences. We offer a supportive and safe workplace that enables you to do the best work of your career. Whatever makes you unique, will help make us unique too, so get in touch and let's talk about your next role at Dotdigital!

About You

  • You have a holistic view of the projects you’ve worked on; you’re not just “a cog” in the machine, but have a great understanding of technical architecture, product requirements, business needs, etc.
  • You’re a highly capable remote worker, enjoying it, but understand its challenges.
  • You’re comfortable with full stack (frontend/backend/data tier/cloud)
  • You’re an extremely strong and fluent communicator, both verbally, and in writing
  • You move quickly, testing ideas and moving fast without burning out
  • Ideally, we’d love you to have some experience with building SaaS products

Why Us

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. The camaraderie within the team is outstanding, ensuring you're never working alone—truly a great company with great people."
